Good Insight DC Action seeks a Senior Communications Manager to lead an integrated marketing and communications plan that ensures consistent, mission-aligned messaging across a variety of platforms for one of DC's leading advocacy nonprofits. About DC Action DC Action is a nonprofit advocating on behalf of children, young people and their families. Its mission is to use research, data, and a racial equity lens to break down barriers that stand in the way of all kids reaching their full potential. DC Action unites all those fighting on behalf of DC’s children and youth to realize a single, shared vision for what it looks like to grow up in the District. While childhood exists on a continuum from birth to adulthood, the systems, programs, and organizations designed to support children and youth are too often fragmented by age.

This individual will manage a small, talented team to drive public awareness, donor engagement, and program visibility.

Oversee contracts with external vendors, freelancers, and consultants (e.g., designers, writers, videographers, interpreters). Manage cross-departmental communications initiatives by proactively supporting team’s and coalition’s needs and ensuring projects are completed on time. Content Development & Editorial Oversight Serve as chief editor for all external communications, ensuring high-quality, clear, and compelling content. Create and distribute newsletters, press releases, reports, website content, blog posts, and social media. Maintain a consistent voice and tone across all materials and channels. Media & Public Relations Build and maintain relationships with media outlets and journalists; pitch stories and respond to media inquiries. Track and monitor earned and social media landscapes to identify and seize opportunities for coverage and engagement. Oversee development of press kits, media lists, and talking points for spokespersons. Prepare senior staff and Board for media interviews and public speaking engagements. Digital & Brand Management Guide the organization’s digital presence, including website, email campaigns, and social media, ensuring consistent branding and engagement. Manage content calendar, analytics, and performance reporting to inform ongoing strategy and improvement. Manage brand assets and uphold visual identity standards across all platforms. Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Communications, Journalism, Public Relations, Marketing, or related field (Master’s degree a plus), and/or a combination of related educational and work experiences. At least 7+ years of experience in policy advocacy communications or a related field, with at least 4 of those years in a supervisory or team leadership role.
