About the Museum

The Tenement Museum welcomes you into the homes of immigrants, migrants, and refugees and shares their stories to inspire connections between the past and present and to build a more inclusive and expansive American society. In our two historic tenements, visitors and K-12 students explore the homes of diverse families with roots all over the world, who lived in New York City between the 1860s and the 1980s. We offer interactive guided tours of our buildings and the iconic Lower East Side neighborhood.

The Museum welcomes more than 220,000 visitors annually and operates with a staff of 60 full-time and 60 part-time employees and a $13 million operating budget.

• An entrepreneurial mindset and hands-on approach: you are energized by building, not just managing, and comfortable operating in an environment of growth and change.

• Experience with change management and the ability to bring colleagues along as an organization shifts its approach to marketing and audience engagement.

• Media relations and public relations experience desired, with established or readily buildable relationships with relevant press.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to craft narratives that resonate across diverse audiences.

• Maintain consistent brand voice, tone, and quality across all platforms

• Draft, build, and send emails, including copywriting, light design, approvals routing, and deployment

Planning, Workflow & Project Management  

• Build and maintain digital content calendars based on a deep understanding of initiative goals, programming, and target audiences

• Use Monday.com to assign tasks, track progress, and manage workflows

• Balance multiple projects and deadlines while maintaining high quality and attention to detail

Ideal Candidate Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in communications, digital media, marketing, or related field

• 4-6 years of experience in digital communications, social media management, content strategy, or marketing required; experience in nonprofit, education, advocacy, or mission-driven environments preferred

• A portfolio that demonstrates hands-on content creation — not just strategy decks or campaign plans, but actual posts, graphics, videos, and copy you personally produced

• Proven experience managing organizational social media accounts and digital campaigns

• Strong proficiency using social media management platforms (Hootsuite Social)

• Advanced proficiency in digital design and video tools, including Canva and Adobe Creative Suite (with demonstrated experience in Adobe Premiere or Final Cut ProX)

Event Operations Manager

Hybrid (Menlo Park, CA)

William and Flora Hewlett Foundation

Date Posted: 4/22/2026

Chaloner has partnered with the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, based in Menlo Park, California, on their search for an Events Operations Manager to support the Communications department.

ABOUT THE FOUNDATION

The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation invests in creative thinkers and problem solvers working to ensure that people, communities, and the planet can flourish. Together with its partners, Hewlett is harnessing society’s collective capacity to solve our toughest problems — from the existential threat of climate change to persistent and pervasive inequities, to attacks on democracy itself. A nonpartisan philanthropy, the Hewlett Foundation has made grants in the U.S. and globally for nearly six decades based on an approach that emphasizes long-term support, collaboration, and trust. Globally, Hewlett makes grants to address both longstanding and emerging challenges like its efforts to advance gender equity and governance, reimagine the economy and society, and reduce the growing threat of climate change. U.S. efforts prioritize strengthening democracy, advancing education for all, and supporting community-led conservation. In the San Francisco Bay Area Hewlett calls home, it makes grants to support meaningful artistic experiences in local communities and support regional foundations working on critical issues such as housing. Hewlett’s grantmaking also invests in advancing racial justice and in strengthening the effectiveness of its grantees, and of philanthropy itself. The Hewlett Foundation’s assets are nearly $14 billion with annual awards of grants totaling more than $631 million. More information about the Hewlett Foundation is available at: http://www.hewlett.org/

The Foundation has approximately 130 employees, in programmatic, operational, and investment roles, located in the San Francisco Bay Area. Across the organization, its employees are challenged with meaningful work, have the resources for ongoing professional development and learning, and contribute to a collegial and engaging environment where they can thrive. Hewlett is committed to fostering a culture of inclusion as part of its guiding principles and encourage individuals with diverse backgrounds and experiences to apply.

ABOUT THE POSITION

Events and convenings are powerful tools for dialogue, learning, and connection—bringing people together around shared goals to advance our mission. Hewlett’s convening ability is highly valued by grantees, funders, and other partners, creating inclusive spaces for collaboration and learning that reflect Hewlett’s guiding principles. Convenings go beyond grantmaking; they serve as strategic tools for impact—engaging stakeholders, strengthening networks and fields, and reinforcing Hewlett’s role as a trusted convener.

The Hewlett Foundation seeks an experienced and highly organized Events Operations Manager (EOM) to support the planning and execution of impactful convenings that advance Hewlett’s mission and goals. This newly created position will help ensure operational and logistical excellence in convenings, serves as a member of the Communications team, and reports to the Organizational Learning Officer who partners cross-functionally to lead internal learning events and help design external convenings.

Success in this position requires close collaboration with colleagues across the foundation on both internal and external events, flexibility to take on different roles and troubleshoot when needed, the ability to closely track details while maintaining a big-picture perspective, and a willingness to step in and fill gaps when needed to ensure seamless execution in alignment with Hewlett’s institutional and program goals.

This position manages timelines and deliverables, oversees logistics, ensures events are accessible and equitable, coordinates vendors and processes contracts, invoices, expenses, and tracks budgets. The EOM also develops and maintains tools to support major events planned at the foundation such as standardized project trackers, an events dashboard, and planning templates, so they become an internal go-to person for logistics questions related to events.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Events Management & Logistics Coordination (80%)

• Serve as the primary logistics lead for Hewlett signature events led by Communications, including one to two annual large-scale external events and three annual all-staff convenings, and serve as logistics adviser to external events led by program teams, such as grantee convenings.

• Create and manage timelines, project trackers, deliverables, and planning meetings to ensure seamless execution for Hewlett signature events.

• Manage Shop Talks, a lunchtime speaker series for Hewlett staff, by receiving and vetting ideas, scheduling dates, and liaising with colleagues to execute the event.

Vice President, Strategic Communications and Advocacy

Hybrid (Buffalo, New York)

John R. Oishei Foundation

Date Posted: 4/22/2026

About the John R. Oishei Foundation

The John R. Oishei Foundation is a private, place-based foundation working in the Buffalo-Niagara region of New York State. Established in 1941, the Foundation manages approximately $360 million in assets and operates with an annual budget of around $15 million. With a current team of 11 and plans to grow to 15–17 staff over the next two years, the Foundation is evolving steadily and with purpose, shifting from a traditional grantmaking approach toward a  focused strategy that addresses root causes and centers community voice to advance financial prosperity for a racially just Buffalo Niagara region. Beginning on Buffalo’s East Side, this work reflects a belief that lasting change is shaped through relationships, proximity, and partnership, and that philanthropy has a role to play not just in funding solutions, but in supporting the conditions that allow them to emerge and grow.

Over the past two years, the Foundation has been actively transitioning from strategy to practice. This has included investing more than $15 million in transition funding to support longtime partners, redesigning internal structures and governance, and beginning to operationalize the strategy through a strategic framework centered on community power-building. This approach reflects a fundamental shift in how the Foundation shows up, moving beyond traditional grantmaking toward deeper relationships, shared influence, and investments that support the leadership, assets, and priorities already present in the community. As this next phase takes shape, the Foundation is building the internal and external conditions needed to advance its work alongside partners, with a growing focus on initiatives that connect community voice, organizational strength, and long-term financial prosperity.

Mission, Vision, and Values

The Foundation’s work is driven by its mission, vision, and values:

Mission: We work with communities to change systems and build financial prosperity for a racially just, vibrant Buffalo-Niagara region.

Vision: A thriving, prosperous community for all, where diversity is our strength.

Values:

• Act against racism: We actively counter racism and systemic barriers faced by Black and other residents of color.

• Build on strengths: We center communities' and colleagues' agency, assets, and opportunities.

• Be trustworthy: We build trust through transparency, accountability, and humility.

• Work together: We listen, collaborate, and build partnerships across sectors and difference.

• Make a difference: We invest in our capacity to learn, improve, and create positive change.

The Opportunity

This is not a traditional communications or marketing role. For this newly created leadership position, the Foundation is seeking a leader who understands communications as a tool for influence, someone who can help shape narratives, support policy and systems change, and amplify community voice. Reporting directly to President, Christina Orsi, and serving as a member of the Leadership Team, the Vice President of Strategic Communications & Advocacy will shape and steward the Foundation’s public voice, advancing its mission, strengthening relationships, and supporting narratives that center racial equity and financial prosperity.

This defining moment for the Foundation is also a unique opportunity for a senior communications leader who is passionate about racial equity and is ready to help shape both narrative and practice. As the organization deepens its focus on community power-building, communications and advocacy are not siloed supporting functions, they are closely connected, mutually reinforcing and central to how the work moves forward. The Vice President of Strategic Communications & Advocacy will help lead how the work is understood, experienced, and advanced, building alignment across stakeholders, strengthening partnerships, and playing a key role in translating a bold strategy into shared understanding and action. The role calls for someone who is both a strategist and a doer, able to think at a high level while also rolling up their sleeves to move the work forward. 

Strategic Communications is a core function, holding responsibility for how the Foundation’s strategy and community power-building framework are understood and carried forward across multiple audiences—including staff and Board, community partners, East Side organizations, leaders, and residents, and peer funders. This work includes developing shared language, building internal alignment, and translating complex ideas into clear, accessible communications that reflect the Foundation’s commitment to community power-building and partnership. Above all, it requires a commitment to hearing, supporting, and amplifying the voices of those most proximate to the challenges and opportunities that exist on Buffalo’s East Side.

Advocacy is an emerging area of focus that builds on the strategic communications foundation, connecting the work to broader systems, partnerships, and, over time, policies and resources. Grounded in community power-building, advocacy at Oishei will emphasize community-informed priorities, strengthen relationships and coalitions, and help to shape the conditions that support long-term change. This role offers the opportunity to help define and build this function in alignment with the Foundation’s values and strategy.

Working across all internal teams and organizational levels, the Strategic Communications and Advocacy functions ensure that the Foundation’s work is both clearly understood and meaningfully advanced.

In the first six months, the VP, Strategic Communications & Advocacy will have:

• Established a community power-building communications approach that staff, board, and key external partners understand and can articulate.

• Created systems and frameworks for internal messaging, brand consistency, and external storytelling.

• Begun building authentic relationships with key community stakeholders, media partners, and peer organizations.

• Developed a clearer picture of the Foundation's emerging role in policy and advocacy     .

• Ensured that community voice is meaningfully reflected in the Foundation's communications decisions.

Key responsibilities include but are not limited to: 

Strategic Communications Leadership

• Develop and execute a comprehensive strategic communications plan aligned with the Foundation's strategy and framework, in support of the mission, values, and goals.

• Steward a clear, cohesive public voice and brand across all platforms and channels.

• Maintain and evolve internal messaging frameworks that guide all public-facing content.

• Commission or conduct community-informed research to ensure language reflects the Foundation's values (e.g., "equity," "financial prosperity," "community power building").

• Create consistent feedback loops among the Foundation’s key audiences to ensure clarity.

Narrative Change & Community Power Building

• Lead the development of a community power building communications approach, creating shared understanding among staff, board, and external partners.

• Support community members, organizations, and leaders as they tell their own stories of joy and resilience and challenge harmful narratives.

• Directly engage and amplify leaders of color and community-rooted organizations.

• Help define the Foundation's role in policy and advocacy work—a new and emerging area the organization will shape over the next year.

Internal Communications & Capacity Building

• Lead internal communications strategy in partnership with the Vice President, People, Culture & Operations, supporting cultural transformation.

• Develop talking points, presentations, and tools to support staff and board communications.

• Build internal capacity through training in asset-based framing, media coaching, and narrative strategy.

• Mentor and coach team members and partners in communications practice.

Media Strategy & Brand Stewardship

• Build authentic relationships with local and national media aligned with the Foundation's mission, including nontraditional, independent, and community-driven media outlets.

• Lead proactive media outreach, storytelling partnerships, and issue response strategy.

• Ensure brand consistency and community-centered imagery across print, digital, and experiential touchpoints. Ensure Foundation storytelling is not extractive, exploitive, or insensitive to any audiences.

• Oversee the Foundation's website, social media, and digital platforms.

• Retain and manage consultants (designers, writers, photographers) as needed. 

Partnerships, Field Leadership, & Board Engagement

• Serve as a visible ambassador for the Foundation in public forums, conferences, and collaborative spaces.

• Build relationships with communications and philanthropic partners to advance aligned messaging around racial equity and prosperity.

• Cultivate trust with the Board; support board members as external ambassadors of the Foundation.

• Support grantees and partners in strengthening their own communications and influence strategies.

• Share tools and research findings that strengthen the field's collective narrative work.

Organizational Strategy & Culture

• Collaborate with the Leadership Team on enterprise-wide efforts, including strategic planning, risk management, and community engagement.

• Manage the communications and policy budget and contribute to organization-wide planning.

• Model leadership grounded in feedback, learning, shared accountability, and a commitment to racial equity.

• Demonstrate communications’ impact as a change tool throughout the organization.

• In the near term, hire and manage at least one direct report to support implementation of communications strategy, along with external contractors/consultants.

• In the longer term, shape the Foundation’s approach to Policy & Advocacy work, and hire and lead a team to support related initiatives.

• Fundamentally believe in the Foundation’s mission and vision, with a demonstrated commitment to racial equity.
