Description

Marketing Manager We are seeking a creative and proactive multi-talented Marketing Manager to build and scale the Marketing function for Unify America’s Civic Gym program. About Unify America We’re on a mission to replace political fighting with collaborative problem-solving. Yeah, we know it sounds audacious. It is. But we’re doing it—by creating civic experiences that reduce polarization, teaching essential civic skills, and inviting Americans to use their differences to better solve common problems together. Where we work: Higher Education (Civic Gym): The Civic Gym allows college students to engage in meaningful cross-partisan conversations. Think of it as training for democracy—reps, sweat, and all. We partner with colleges and universities across the country to pair students for productive, skill-building dialogue across differences. So far, over 40,000 college students have paired up with strangers across the country to solve the country's most pressing issues. Cities (Democracy Leagues): We partner with communities to run Civic Assemblies, where residents—across the ideological spectrum—solve shared problems together. Our first pilot is thriving in Akron, OH. We’re consulting with the City of Dayton, and we’ll likely will add another Ohio location by the end of the year. About the Role The Marketing Manager role will help support the entire Marketing function, from top-of-funnel lead generation and content creation work to supporting retention and customer account growth. Alongside the Director of Marketing, this role will own a variety of digital marketing work, including blog and whitepaper creation, email marketing, webinar support, conference and press strategy, and more.

This role is about realistic creativity – we want someone to help us build a scalable, reliable Marketing program that extends across multiple marketing channels, including top of funnel and retention. As a nonprofit, we are often working on lean budgets and short timeframes, so a scrappy, flexible approach will be key We are currently focused on organic and relationship-driven channels, though the right candidate will be open to exploring new channels as the program evolves.
