• Exceptional communication and storytelling skills as well as an understanding of how to translate complex economic and policy ideas into clean compelling digital content and copy. 

• Proven understanding of how to break through the online chatter, with a background of being “extremely online,” closely tracking what is driving conversations, and with a strong grasp of online ecosystems and emerging media trends.

• Demonstrated attention to detail and ability to handle multiple assignments in a fast-paced, campaign-like environment and meet deadlines.

• A creative thinker who has ideas, isn’t afraid to offer them up, and then takes initiative to follow through.

• Strong news sense and knowledge of the progressive policy, political, news, and social media landscape. 

• Experience producing or overseeing video, graphic design, and multimedia storytelling. You enjoy digging into data and making it sing for different audiences.

Integrated Marketing & Audience Growth

• Audience Strategy: Lead a comprehensive growth strategy that expands and deepens engagement with educators, donors, partners, and influencers, moving audiences from awareness to sustained relationship.

• Conduct audience insights and research (educator sentiment, donor/funder perceptions, segmentation, and message testing) and use what you learn to shape narrative, campaigns, and content.

• Partner closely with Development to drive donor marketing, including acquisition and retention campaigns, stewardship communications, and monitoring donor/funder trends.

• Content Strategy & Excellence: Oversee the creation of high-quality, mission-aligned content across formats (print, digital, video, social) that is both intellectually substantive and emotionally resonant.

• Digital Ecosystem Leadership: Own the Foundation’s digital presence, including website strategy, UX design, and platform integration, ensuring accessibility, discoverability, and alignment with strategic goals.

• Oversee digital marketing to grow reach and results, including SEO, email strategy, conversion optimization, and paid media/paid social (as applicable), with clear performance goals.

• Campaign Integration: Align marketing campaigns with development, programs, and policy priorities to support fundraising, partnerships, and field-building efforts.

• Own brand strategy and standards, including messaging, visual identity, and brand voice; set and track brand awareness and brand health measures over time.

Media Relations, Public Affairs & Reputation Management

• Media Strategy: Serve as the Foundation’s principal media strategist and, as appropriate, spokesperson, cultivating strong relationships with national and regional education reporters, editors, and digital media leaders.

• Earned Media Leadership: Proactively shape and execute an earned-media agenda that includes op-eds, feature stories, podcasts, and speaking opportunities that elevate the Foundation’s impact and thought leadership.

Required Experience:

• Based in the US.

• 2+ years of getting your hands dirty in communications, PR, public affairs or a similar field where you picked up a bias toward action.

• A way with words: you can write a killer press release or oped in your sleep, and craft social posts that people actually want to engage with. 

• Fluency in social media platforms and the tools that make them work.

Required skills and qualities:

• The confidence to pitch journalists and producers with the savvy to know what'll make them bite.

• The organizational superpowers to juggle seventeen things at once without breaking a sweat.

• A collaborative spirit and genuine willingness to roll up your sleeves on whatever the team needs, whether that's wrangling print vendors or keeping everyone's calendars in sync. 

• The courage to raise your hand when you need help.

• Solutions-focused mindset, with proven aptitude and initiative in solving comms problems. 

Preferred qualifications, skills and qualities:

• We prefer this role to be based in the West Coast of the US. 

• You've navigated the non-profit or tech world before, can speak designer-ese, and/or know your way around project management tools.

• Familiarity with the AI landscape, and a passion for steering AI away from unacceptable risks and towards amazing human futures. 

• Familiar with platforms like Muck Rack, SproutSocial, Canva 

• You've worked with very busy bosses, so you know how to manage up and work proactively with minimal supervision.

Compensation: $75,000 - $115,000/year. Exact compensation will vary depending on experience and geography.

Additional benefits include: health insurance, 24+ days of PTO per year, paid parental leave, 401k matching in the US, a generous professional development budget, and a work from home allowance for the purchase of office supplies or equipment. 

Application Deadline: 20 March, 2026

Peer Support Space, Inc.

Date Posted: 2/24/2026

Peer Support Space is a grassroots peer-led organization that is 100% led for and by those with lived experience. All of our services and advocacy initiatives are led for and by those the services are intended for. We recognize that holding aspects of identity and experience that diverge from the dominant societal and cultural standards can be distressing, oppressive, and challenging. In our care work, we center those who are too often pushed to the margins, reclaiming the power we hold respectively as peers, and lead with consent and compassion.

We consciously create spaces that strive to nurture those who have navigated grief, trauma, madness, disability, or other life experiences that deserve intentional space for connection and support. We celebrate the ways in which we relate to one another and also respect the individual nuances that make us distinctively unique. This is done through community gatherings (peer-led support groups), individualized peer support, overnight peer respite care, and lived experienced centered advocacy.

We use, and help others use, the power of lived experience to support, educate, and guide one another while providing additional, free options for emotional justice. We exist to fill gaps in our mental health system using solutions that are created and executed by those most deeply impacted by our current system’s harms.

The Executive Director is responsible for the strategic leadership and operational management of Peer Support Space. They center the organization's vision and use communal and team input to create, implement, drive, and oversee plans to assure organizational growth and sustainability. They are directly involved in PSS business functions including fundraising, marketing, outreach, managing of budget, respite operations, program quality assurance, compliance with grant contracts as well as regulatory and accreditation requirements, professional development, human-resources, and program development. Most importantly, our E.D. provides leadership and assures the rest of the team has clear direction, the skills, and the support to do their roles, and work together towards a shared mission.

The Executive Director is highly focused and mission driven. They believe in the goals of Peer Support Space and embody our core values when interacting with employees, guests/participants, donors, partner organizations, and other community contacts. They are creative and have a visionary spirit, considering both the present needs and the long-term path of our organization. The Executive Director is highly aware of current trends, evolving sociopolitical climate, and community perspectives and uses that layered insight to guide PSS. The Executive Director works to uplift others and be approachable, accountable, and open to feedback.
