About the Role

The Company is in search of a Senior Vice President for Marketing and Communications to spearhead a dynamic portfolio that includes marketing, brand strategy, and a significant direct-response fundraising unit. The successful candidate will be a key member of the senior leadership team, responsible for managing a large team of professionals and three direct reports. This role demands an individual with exceptional leadership, cultural fluency, and the ability to operate in a nuanced ecosystem. The SVP will be a central figure in crisis communications, marketing, and brand strategy, and must be adept at balancing urgency with long-term planning.

Key responsibilities for the SVP include growing the global marketing function, strengthening brand positioning, and increasing engagement across various audiences. The role also involves serving as a senior leader in communications strategy, particularly in crisis situations, and providing strategic counsel on reputational matters. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in strategic marketing, brand vision, and crisis communications, with a proven track record of leading and developing large teams. A sophisticated understanding of the Jewish communal ecosystem and campus dynamics is essential, as is the ability to work closely with executive stakeholders and boards.
