About the Role
This newly created leadership role offers an exceptional opportunity for a high-performing marketing professional ready to take the next step in their career. Ideal for someone who has successfully led campaigns and strategic initiatives, this position provides the chance to own and shape the entire marketing function.
Reporting directly to the Executive Director, you will drive the organization's brand strategy, content, communications, and marketing campaigns while leading and mentoring a marketing team member. Rather than being one contributor on a large team, you will serve as the primary marketing leader-partnering closely with executive leadership to influence strategy, elevate visibility, and accelerate organizational growth.
As ELV continues to expand, this role offers significant autonomy, visibility, and a clear pathway for professional growth, allowing you to build both the marketing function and your leadership impact alongside the organization.

- Own brand positioning, messaging, and visual identity, establishing ELV as a thought leader in early childhood education technology
- Lead content across web, social, and email.
- Design and run campaigns supporting membership growth, state partnerships, and provider acquisition, with performance tracking
- Create pitch decks, impact reports, and proposal materials for high-priority partnership and state-contract opportunities
- Manage event marketing for conferences, webinars, and summits
- Manage and mentor one marketing team member
- Build media and partner relationships, and manage marketing operations, budget, vendors, and tools across internal teams
What You Bring
- Bachelor's degree in marketing, Communications, Business, or a related field
- 4+ years of marketing and communications experience, including time owning campaigns or projects and ready to step into a lead role
- Hands-on experience building and running campaigns, ideally for technology-enabled, SaaS, or mission-driven organizations
- Working knowledge across brand, content, digital campaigns, and stakeholder communications
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, including executive-level content
- Experience managing projects, vendors, or budgets across teams
- Familiarity with CRM, marketing automation, CMS, analytics, and design tools
- A growth mindset, you want ownership, feedback, and a path to advance
Preferred: nonprofit, early childhood education, edtech, or social impact background; B2B or public-sector partnership experience; and bilingual English/Spanish
Compensation
- Salary: $67,136-$75,000 annually

- Excellent benefits (Medical, Dental, & Vision)
