Helen Keller International is a global health organization dedicated to eliminating preventable vision loss, malnutrition, and diseases of poverty.  Cofounded by Helen Keller – and guided by her fierce optimism and belief in human potential – the organization delivers life-changing health solutions to vulnerable families where the need is great but access to care is limited.  In the US, Africa, Europe, and Asia, Helen Keller’s proven, science-based programs empower people to create opportunities in their own lives and build lasting change.

Background

The Director, Marketing and Communications will bring strategic marketing and communications skills to help the organization continue to build a growing constituency of supporters (donors, subscribers and others), at a time when the organization has laid essential groundwork. Recently, Helen Keller Intl conducted research that led to a newly branded look and feel. We have sharpened our understanding of target audiences to focus on individuals giving unrestricted support, primarily in the United States.

The organization has also launched several advertising efforts in recent years and is ready to take the next steps. Thus, the Director will join at an exciting time in which s/he will help shape a team and strategy that places marketing at the forefront of the organization’s goals. The Director will work collaboratively with colleagues to craft, shape, and deliver compelling stories and examples of impact, and to create campaigns that engage informed citizens and inspire them to support Helen Keller Intl.

Functional Relationships

Reporting to the Vice President, External Relations, the Director will work closely with other department team leaders, developing strategies that help build engaged, philanthropic audiences. The Director will work nimbly within hierarchical and stakeholder relationships, convening colleagues across the organization to surface content; to create ads, videos, stories, and photos that inspire and activate new and existing donor communities; and to support field and program colleagues in championing Helen Keller’s mission to their target audiences.

The Director will supervise a team of professionals and work in an integrated fashion to align marketing campaigns with fundraising goals. The Director will also work closely with global colleagues at various levels across the organization and in country programs, including the US, acting as a partner to them as they enhance their communications and marketing skills.

Finally, the Director will liaise with an External Relations Committee of the Board, other Board members, the Executive Team, and global and country leadership to shape Helen Keller’s positioning regarding key public health information or news, to support colleagues in public-facing and key presentations, and to shape team members’ public voices on behalf of Helen Keller. Regular communication and a spirit of teamwork, both hierarchically and laterally, are essential to making this structure thrive.

Scope of the Position

The Director, Marketing and Communications will lead the organization’s efforts to refine, motivate, and engage target audiences with the goal of building Helen Keller Intl’s community of enthusiasts, subscribers, and especially donors. The Director will shape and implement an action plan to build funnels of varying widths to attract potential audiences that learn, engage with Helen Keller, and support our mission with donations. The Director will develop and deploy a rich toolkit that includes storytelling, earned media, social media channels, photography, videos, website content, presentations at conferences and convenings, search advertising, search engine optimization strategies, display advertising, and other methods to reach prospect audiences.

The Director will be both strategist and doer, serving as a creative thinker, helping to share and inspire others who are developing key messages, visual ideas, advertising, and stories. The Director will help shape organizational positioning, working across the organization and collaboratively with leaders and program experts to surface stories of impact and to turn those stories into marketing material, sometimes in a campaign framework. The Director will also have in his/her purview media relationships and an earned media/thought leadership strategy in the years ahead.

The Director will act as a convener, helping colleagues to source stories of Helen Keller Intl’s impact, and supporting them as they advance their skills to “communicate Helen Keller Intl” with a unified voice, look, and feel. The Director will lead a team of professionals and consultants and will liaise with communications staff in the field and with country and regional teams, providing feedback, guidance, and training when strategic issues arise that require a coordinated approach and/or presentation or press visibility.

The Organization

The work of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) both spans the globe and has deep roots and a commitment in Washington state. Washington, where the Gates family has lived for generations, is home. Here they are neighbors, community members, and school parents. As philanthropists, they are invested for the long-term in the well-being of communities in Washington state. The Pacific Northwest Portfolio, now Washington State Initiative, has attended specifically to regional investments and partnerships to support local communities. In addition, funding for nonprofits based in the greater Seattle area supporting national and international work means the foundation as a whole extends approximately $300 million in grants to nonprofits in Washington state. The foundation believes that every child deserves a chance to reach their full potential, regardless of race, ethnicity, family income, or gender, and that educational attainment—a college degree or work-ready credential—is the bridge to a career that supports a family and fulfills one’s purpose and potential. This is the aspiration behind the foundation’s investments locally and nationally.

Position Overview

The transition of its longstanding Pacific Northwest Director has afforded the foundation an opportunity to examine and reimagine how it leverages its total assets, financial and otherwise, in service of its vision for young people in the United States and to support longstanding relationships and grantee partners in Washington. With life upended by the pandemic and the country rocked by a reawakened civil rights movement, the foundation has seized the opportunity to reflect upon its historical investments and experience and look forward to refresh and focus its local strategy and relationships with renewed purpose. With that opportunity at the fore, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation seeks nominations and applications for the position of Director, Washington State Initiative. The Director plays a unique role in the United States Program (USP), leading and grounding the foundation’s national work in place and facilitating learning and synergy between the Washington state team, community partners, and the foundation’s national strategies. Reporting to the President, U.S. Program, the Director will work in close coordination with the USP division’s program, leadership, and functional strategies (Early Childhood Learning, K12 education, Postsecondary education, Economic Mobility and Opportunity, Pathways, and Data) in addition, to the foundation’s North America Team, which leads the foundation’s work in government relations, policy, advocacy, and communications. This cross-team approach aspires to drive greater collaboration, synergy, and coherence between national strategies and the foundation’s strategic investments in Washington state.

The ideal candidate will be a strategic and experienced leader with deep knowledge of Washington state — its people, culture, and history — and the role philanthropy can and should play to promote systems level change. S/he/they will bring a sophisticated understanding of how change is inspired and managed internally and externally, be a clear and authentic communicator and trusted leader in Washington, and possess the savvy and skill to translate, adapt, influence, and align locally defined needs with the foundation’s national work to achieve mutually shared objectives and outcomes. The Director will lead a team of highly talented individuals, develop and foster overall organizational effectiveness, and ensure the team nurtures collaboration and community connection in pursuit of mission-aligned strategies and equitable outcomes. Finally, the Director will have content knowledge and experience in at least one of USP’s primary program areas and understand the interconnectedness between education and economic mobility, especially how that is expressed across Washington, and will effectively leverage place-based learnings for the benefit of the broader foundation.
