- Translate that strategy into a roadmap tied to Ren's growth objectives: brand awareness, advisor and donor preference, and independent advisor acquisition
- Lead the strategy for the industry-wide DAF Giving Summit and oversee the planning and content teams and vendors that bring it to life
- Establish our brand as the category's most trusted and forward-thinking player in philanthropy

Generate demand

- Convert brand trust to a growing pipeline of potential stakeholders and partners who want to talk with us
- Design nurture and lifecycle programs that move advisors and donors from first touch to first gift, and from first gift to deeper engagement
- Determine the right channel mix and cadence to reach advisors and donors
- Oversee paid media investment and amplification, ensuring every channel reinforces the brand vision and narrative, and drive cost efficiencies against CPM/CPA benchmarks
- Lead the team to develop the optimal distribution structure across organic, paid, and earned, that gets the right message in front of the right audience at the right time
- Build attribution and reporting that show which programs drive pipeline and revenue, and shift investment toward what works

Drive the Communications Engine

- Own website content and performance, ensuring Ren shows up wherever advisors and donors search, from traditional SEO to AEO and AI-driven discovery
- Develop our PR strategy, building executive awareness, understanding, and alignment, and oversee the management of our PR agency
- Oversee internal communications

Ideal Profile & Attributes:
