Overview
Reporting to the Associate Vice President of Strategic Communications and Marketing, the Director/Assistant Director of Marketing Communications is a newly created position to support the ambitious growth of USU Advancement fundraising and alumni engagement. This represents a fantastic opportunity for a seasoned marketing communications professional to be part of a highly productive team. The position will be hired as either an Assistant Director (Marketer II) or Director (Marketer III) based upon depth of education/experience and duties assigned. (See Minimum Qualifications section below.)
The Director/Assistant Director is tasked with a diverse set of responsibilities, so it is important for the person in this position to be flexible, proactive, and decisive with a well-rounded mix of experience in writing and editing marketing and donor solicitation content, compiling and analyzing marketing data, and managing creative campaigns.
We are a small team producing fundraising and alumni marketing communications projects for all colleges and units across the university, so we need a Director/Assistant Director who is extremely organized and collaborative, able to research each subject area they will be writing about, and willing to proactively take on complex, multifaceted projects, and see them through to completion.
This position will own creative marketing and donor solicitation content writing for print and digital, as well as manage the scripting and storyboarding for fundraising and engagement video production projects.
A strong background in writing and editing persuasive creative content across multiple communications platforms are required, along with the ability to think critically and make data-driven decisions about audience and placement. Collecting and interpreting marketing data (especially digital advertising), and adjusting communications accordingly, will be crucial.
The Director/Assistant Director works closely with the entire University Advancement staff in elevating Utah State University through philanthropy and engagement, so you will be asked to juggle a wide variety of requests with competing deadlines. You will be expected to execute individual tasks side-by-side with co-workers as well as manage projects, so organizational and time management skills are important.
We are looking for a team member who has proven experience anticipating opportunities and reacting swiftly in moments that matter. If you have a passion for writing and refining marketing and donor solicitation messaging, collecting and analyzing data, uncovering new marketing angles for greater outcomes, and developing thought-provoking content, please apply!
