About Tucson

Tucson is known for its culture and incredible dining. The city’s central core is a vibrant area with a lively downtown, and if you wander in any direction from the city you will find endless stunning outdoor space. There are more than 350 days of sunshine in Tucson, and people here love to soak it up. On warm summer days, hiking trails that end in monsoon-rain-filled watering holes rise in popularity, and adventurers flock to the Sky Island of Mount Lemmon, where temperatures are cooler and pine trees offer an escape from the Sonoran Desert. Closer to the city, Tumamoc offers miles of views. Surrounding it all is The Loop, a paved multipurpose trail that’s more than 130 miles in length for bikers, horseback riders and power walkers.

Saguaro National Park straddles the east and west sides of the city, with more than 91,000 acres to explore. Centuries-old culture and modern art exist side by side; step back through the history of Tucson to see how the city today unifies Hispanic, Native American and Anglo cultures. Mission San Xavier del Bac has seen the region transition from New Spain to Mexico to Arizona, and sites throughout the city keep that history visible and present.

But nowhere combines Tucson’s cultures better than the menus of local restaurants. Flavors here are centuries in the making; a driving force behind Tucson’s designation as a UNESCO City of Gastronomy was the embracing of native ingredients. And the city is packed with art galleries, museums, live music venues, theatre companies, and endless other cultural institutions. Learn more about Tucson here. On top of these reasons that make Tucson a great place to live, Tucson remains a relatively affordable place to live, with housing costs being a major factor in its lower-than average cost of living compared to other cities.

Public Interest Communications Strategist

Birmingham, MI

Erb Family Foundation’s

Date Posted: 9/29/2025

What causes people to care — and act on that care? That’s what we want to know at the Fred and  Barbara Erb Family Foundation. We want to see what the world looks like, in Southeast Michigan  and beyond, when people care deeply, become involved and take action to improve the health of the Great Lakes, strengthen the region’s arts and cultural organizations, advance Alzheimer’s research, promote sustainable business, and protect democracy.  

Since we made our first grants in 2008, we’ve given more than $180 million to improve the quality of life for residents in Southeast Michigan and around the Great Lakes. Recently, we decided to  act even more boldly. We decided to spend down its assets by 2034. This allows us to get funding into communities when the need is most urgent.  

We are guided by our values: to make a lasting transformative difference; embrace possibility; work and learn in partnership; and pursue fairness and respect. We use grant-making and other  supporting work to help us make a greater difference now and future-proof work that will  continue after the Foundation closes its doors. Putting strategic communications to work for  change making—a public interest communications approach—is essential to making a difference, because it taps into what causes people to care and motivates them to act where  they can make a difference. It is our hope to inspire our community to do that long after we’ve  made our last grant.  

We recognize that we cannot achieve this long-term goal without the help of a visionary communicator who shares our passion for these issues and is eager to experiment with bold new  approaches.  

We are hiring for a new role: a public interest communications strategist who will work side  by side with our leadership, learning, and program teams, especially for our Great Lakes  and democracy priorities.  

The Opportunity for a Public Interest Communications Strategist  If you’re a strategic communicator committed to positive change, this could be your moment.  

Changemakers have been practicing public interest communications for centuries, but the field  has only recently adopted this name. If you’re hearing about public interest communications for  the first time, it might show up in your work experience as approaches that: 

• Develop and implement science- and evidence-based, strategic communications. 

• Achieve significant change on an issue that transcends the interests of any one  organization.  

• Recognize what people care about and trust – and tap into those connection points. • Focus eSorts on the audience members with the greatest likelihood of acting and making  change happen. 

• Activate new ways of thinking, identify what works best and course correct as needed.

• Work toward solutions that address underlying systems that create a condition.  

The Foundation has just under 10 years to make meaningful, lasting change via our program  areas. A public interest communication strategist will make the most of this time and champion  communication approaches that will help our partners continue their work after we close our  doors. We want to hire someone who’s a systems-level thinker and takes an iterative approach to  the work: thinking strategically and setting priorities while actively trying things out and assessing  what works best. Specifically, we’re seeking: 

• A team member with experience putting strategic communications to work to achieve  social change, such as positive behavior changes individuals made for improved  environmental conditions or civic engagement.  

• A colleague who will hear and respect many viewpoints from staS members, board  members and partners and be able to recommend a clear path forward that focuses on  where the Foundation will make the greatest possible diSerence. 

• A doer who walks on that path, implements approaches, coaches colleagues and  partners to join in, evaluates progress, and course-corrects along the way.

• A lifelong learner who builds on emerging insights from the developing field of public  interest communications (including insights from psychology, sociology, neuroscience and more) and who accepts feedback and counsel from colleagues.  

• A champion who will help create a culture of communications by demonstrating its  changemaking power. 

• A strategist who can look at the big picture and do tactical work.  

Core Duties and Responsibilities for our Incoming Changemaker

We anticipate the public interest communications strategist will craft a strategic  communications plan for the Foundation and review work in the Great Lakes and democracy  programs to identify opportunities for strategic communications to improve progress toward the  programs’ outcomes. These efforts will ensure the Foundation is prioritizing resources,  encouraging learning and providing relevant support to grant partners.  

Based on the strategic communications plan, identified projects within Great Lakes and  democracy, and the strengths of the selected candidate, day-to-day work will likely include: 

• Leading Foundation communications to ensure the organizational voice is amplifying the  work of grant partners and expressing the values of the Foundation brand.

• Providing strategic counsel for grantee projects where public interest communications  will improve progress toward our shared goals. This may include providing coaching for grant partners, identifying and engaging partners/consultants to support grantee communications goals, and ongoing collaboration with Foundation program staff to evaluate how public interest communications is supporting progress or where the  approach requires adjustment.  

• Providing coaching and support for Foundation colleagues as they engage in strategic  communications activities designed to amplify the voices of grant partners, showcase  their thought leadership, validate the importance of specific approaches within their  programs and express the values of the Foundation brand. 

• Developing opportunities for Foundation colleagues and grant partners to better  understand and activate public interest communications strategies and approaches.

• Hiring and supervising partners/consultants supporting this work (including budget  and RFP development, evaluation and updating approaches/scopes).  

Qualifications and Skills You’ll Bring to Our Mission-Driven Work

• Experience putting strategic communications to work to make progress toward social  change the Foundation seeks.  

• Organizational/brand leadership for establishing organizational voice and an eSective  approach to amplifying partners’ voices.  

• The ability to listen and maintain openness to new ideas and perspectives from our  partners who may be coming into the work with a range of values and cultural  approaches.  

• Understanding of the communications and information ecosystems of our focus areas,  including how owned and earned media shapes belief and intent to act, stories resonate  with specific communities, network-building plays a role, and educating policymakers can make a diSerence.  

• A growth mindset that’s both optimistic and pragmatic — dreaming big while setting clear  priorities. 

• Collaborative approach that values contribution over credit.  

• Demonstrated experience of a learning mindset: getting up to speed quickly on multiple  subject areas, developing relevant public interest communications approaches and  activating new insights from the field and colleagues.  

• Culture-building experience to encourage embrace and activation of public interest  communications approaches.  

• Management experience coordinating with peers, staff, and partners/consultants. 

• Experience working with philanthropic funders.  

• Relationships in southeast Michigan and/or the Great Lakes region.

• Strong writing, speaking and interpersonal communications.

Senior Communications Associate

New York, NY

New York University School of Law

Date Posted: 9/23/2025

The Policing Project at New York University School of Law is seeking a Communications Associate to help execute the organization’s cross-disciplinary communication strategies across multiple teams. Under the supervision of the Communications Director, the Associate will be responsible for creatively utilizing the Policing Project’s existing communications channels – including newsletters, webinars, media relations, designed reports, and social media – while identifying new opportunities to engage the organization’s programmatic communications and priority audiences. The Associate will also play a key role in supporting a comprehensive website re-design process.

The ideal candidate will have experience working across teams in a small organization; designing visually compelling assets and drafting content for a variety of audiences; and executing and proactively identifying new communications opportunities. The ideal candidate will also have substantive knowledge of and/or several years of experience working on police reform issues.

Background on the Policing Project

The Policing Project is at the forefront of a new approach to addressing the harms of policing. We believe in “front-end accountability”—that there must be public voice and democratic sign off before police act, rather than simply when something goes wrong. The goal is achieving public safety that is equitable, non-discriminatory, and respectful of public values. We pursue this mission by drafting and promoting legislation to regulate policing, and by litigating where these principles are not respected. Our work addresses both street policing and the growing use by police of surveillance technologies and artificial intelligence. Because sending armed officers to deal with a raft of social problems satisfies no one, we also are working hard to reimagine public safety from the ground up, relying on non-police alternative first responders. You can learn more about our work—past and present—at www.PolicingProject.org.

Job Description & Responsibilities

Responsibilities may include:

• Serving as a liaison between the Communications team and programmatic teams to support programmatic communication strategies;

• Helping programmatic teams brainstorm creative, effective opportunities to reach their priority audiences and advance programmatic work through strategic communications;

• Ensuring brand and messaging consistency across teams and channels;

• Executing social media strategy to promote organizational visibility and advance programmatic work;

• Designing organizational assets including research reports, “two-pager” or white papers, website pages;

• Proactively working with staff across departments to forecast materials design and social, web, and email content needs for priority issues, programs, campaigns and events;

• Regularly monitoring, analyzing, and reporting on engagement and traffic across communication channels to ensure growth;

• Regular updating website to ensure all content is current and consistent with organizational messaging and branding guidelines;

• Supporting the communications team in shared meeting facilitation, note-taking, and other organizational tasks as needed.

Desired Experience & Qualifications

We seek to hire someone with an interest in improving policing and public safety, ensuring that it is both protective of civil rights and racially just. Given the innovative nature of our work, and the fact that it often occurs around fraught social issues, we are looking for someone who is a problem solver with maturity and judgement.

In addition, we will consider the following qualifications, but do not expect any applicant to have all of them:

• 3-5 years of experience in working on policing and public safety issues;

• 2-4 years of experience in writing, marketing, or strategic communications on legal or policy issues;

• Excellent written communication skills, editing, proofreading, fact-checking, keen attention to detail and ability to break down complex concepts;

• Proficiency with multiple social media platforms and an interest in using these tools to drive action and engagement;

• Experience with the Adobe Creative Suite, specifically InDesign and Illustrator, Canva and other graphic design tools;

• Team player attitude, capable of collaborating with team members, strong interpersonal skills, including the ability to take feedback;

• Excellent time management, and the ability to stick to deadlines;

• Demonstrated experience managing competing priorities and deadlines;

• Solutions-oriented mindset and proactive.

The Policing Project heartily encourages applicants from diverse backgrounds, and is an equal opportunity employer.

Strong preference will be given to those who can be based out of the Policing Project’s New York City offices (located at NYU Law School). Full-time remote options are available.

Application Instructions

To apply please email a cover letter and resume as one PDF to applications@policingproject.org. Indicate “Senior Communications Associate” in the subject line. Applications will be reviewed on an ongoing basis, and you will be contacted if selected for an interview.

Salary is commensurate with experience. In compliance with NYC’s Pay Transparency Law, the salary is in the range of $75,000-$90,000.
