Chief Marketing Officer

The Clean Slate Initiative

Date Posted: 10/19/2026

Summary

Established as its own nonprofit organization in 2024, The Clean Slate Initiative (CSI) exists to help the roughly 70–100 million American adults with an arrest or conviction record — nearly one in three adults nationally, and a disproportionate share of Black adults (nearly 50%, compared to 27% of white adults) — move past their records and access employment, housing, education, and economic assistance. CSI's mission is to pass and implement "Clean Slate" laws that automate record sealing for people who have completed their sentence and remained crime-free, and to expand who is eligible for that relief. Clean Slate legislation remains a rare bipartisan-appeal issue even in a polarized political environment, with wins in both red and blue states.

The projected growth and sizeable ambitions outlined in CSI’s new strategic plan call for a senior leader who can set up a strong, high-performing Marketing and Communications Department for the organization’s next chapter. As leadership shifts to a more distributed executive team, the new Chief Marketing Officer role will set the department’s strategic direction, and ensure the team has the structure, resources, and clarity to deliver on them.

Reporting to the newly created President role, the CMO will serve on an executive leadership team alongside the CEO, Chief Financial and Administrative Officer, Chief Program Officer, and Chief Development Officer, and supervise four direct reports. Internally, the CMO will deliver on seven verticals – executive communications, digital communications, state-based campaigns, advocacy communications, brand/marketing events, narrative change and internal communications. Externally, this new leader will be responsible for shaping public perceptions of CSI in service of policy change, engaging audiences across the political spectrum, and strategically building high-visibility partnerships to advance the work of the organization. A major priority for this new hire will be to leverage and strategically deploy the voice and brand of CEO Sheena Meade, whose influence in the field will be critical to CSI’s continued growth and success.

This new hire will ideally be a large-scale marketing strategist, an executive communications partner, a branding expert and innovator, and a clear-eyed priority setter.

Salary

• Partner with the Director of Community Events team to align email cadence and messaging with key event milestones, including calls for proposals, registration milestones, submission deadlines, program announcements, surveys, and post-event communications.

• Collaborate across Strategic Communications, Digital Marketing, Web Experience, Creative, Content Marketing, and Partnership Marketing teams to align messaging, campaign timing, audience targeting, and performance measurement.

• Coordinate with internal advocates, sponsors, and community partners to amplify key event milestones and campaign messages across email, professional networks, community channels, and owned platforms.

Hybrid (Seattle, WA)

Sheri and Les Biller Family Foundation

Date Posted: 10/19/2026

About the Foundation

We have two primary areas of focus: to lift up the transformative power of live theatre and to ensure that people facing cancer, and their loved ones, receive the supportive care they deserve. We work to advance equitable change through grantmaking, public education and advocacy, research and data initiatives, and cross-sector convening. We are a small, collaborative team where every member plays a visible and active role in advancing the Foundation’s mission.

Reporting to the Director of External Relations, this role is ideal for an early-career communicator who wants broad, hands-on experience in philanthropy and mission-driven campaign communications. This is a generalist role at a small organization: no two weeks look exactly alike, and you’ll work closely with Foundation leaders, program staff, grantees, and our external partners.

What You’ll Do

Communications Planning and Project Management

• Contribute to the Foundation’s communications planning in support of our key program priorities

• Help maintain a communications calendar aligned with program milestones, communications strategy, and events

• Manage communications projects from start to finish — building project plans and timelines, coordinating input from team and external partners, and keeping deliverables on track and on deadline

Communications Support

• Coordinate communications logistics for partner meetings, grantee gatherings, and events

• Help maintain brand and message consistency across materials and support grantees with co-branding and announcement coordination

Who You Are

• 2–4 years of professional experience (internships and fellowships count)

• A strong, versatile communicator eager to learn

• Comfortable managing multiple projects and meeting deadlines without close supervision

• Proficient with common communications tools (e.g., email marketing platforms, social media scheduling tools, basic CMS editing); familiarity with design tools like Canva or Adobe Creative Suite a plus

• A willingness to pick up pieces of projects when needed, as well as take ownership of projects and see them through to completion

• Curious about philanthropy and genuinely interested in access to the arts, the intersection of the arts and health, and cancer care. Direct experience in the nonprofit sector and philanthropy is welcome but not required.

• Collaborative, detail-oriented, and gracious in giving and receiving feedback

Compensation and Benefits

The annual salary range is between $65,000-$75,000, commensurate with experience. Our benefit package includes medical, dental and vision, five weeks of paid time off annually, and a retirement plan. The Sheri and Les Biller Family Foundation is an Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) employer and prioritizes building an inclusive culture. We are committed to building a team that represents many backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. This is a hybrid role based in Seattle, WA.

Description

Overview

ReThink Media seeks a Communications Manager to support their Client Services team. In this role, you will join a small, dedicated team of communications professionals, researchers, and trainers to work on the most pressing issues of our time.

• Assist in the development of communications tools and materials, including messaging and talking points, tailored press lists, sample social media content, and, where appropriate, story pitches, press releases, and opinion pieces.

• Develop and maintain relationships with key journalists; assist client organizations in building their own networks of media contacts.

• Assist with media monitoring, using a variety of tools to engage ReThink’s clients in responding to emerging media opportunities.

• Work with the Research & Analysis team to leverage media analysis, public opinion analysis, and message research for more effective communications; help clients make their communications data-driven.

• Represent ReThink in client meetings, as assigned, to provide media and communications expertise in those discussions.

• Assist in planning and carrying out events, journalist meet-and-greets, briefings, press conferences, etc., as needed.

• Work with the Collaborative Campaigns team, as needed, to do one or more of the duties described above in a coalition/campaign setting.
