PURPOSE

The Associate Director of Marketing & Communications plays a key leadership role in shaping and executing how UMDF shares its mission with the world. This position combines strategic oversight with hands-on delivery, guiding communications strategy while actively writing, pitching, posting, and producing content every day.

The ideal candidate brings both vision and versatility : a strong communicator who can plan and measure campaigns, mentor staff, and personally execute social media, PR, and storytelling initiatives. This is not a behind-the-desk role; it is for someone who thrives on both strategy and doing, helping UMDF stay visible, credible, and deeply connected to the rare disease community.

PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES

Marketing Oversight & Planning

  • Partner with the Director of Marketing & Communications to support the development and execution of an annual marketing and communications plan that aligns with UMDF’s strategic plan and annual key results.
  • Lead with a hands-on approach, directly producing and overseeing content while shaping overall direction.
  • Set measurable goals for communications effectiveness, including media reach, social engagement, and campaign impact.
  • Analyze communication results and turn insights into clear, actionable improvements.
  • Serve as a bridge between marketing, development, and program teams to ensure unified, mission-aligned messaging.
  • Supervise part-time marketing staff and intern(s).

    • Public Relations & Brand Visibility

  • Develop and execute proactive PR strategies to amplify UMDF’s mission and thought leadership.
  • Build and maintain relationships with journalists, media outlets, and rare disease partners to increase positive media coverage.
  • Draft press releases, talking points, and media kits to support major announcements, campaigns, and events.
  • Provide strategic counsel on external communications to UMDF leadership.

    • Social Media & Community Engagement

  • Oversee UMDF’s social media influencer program to grow UMDF’s reach, elevate authentic patient / caregiver stories, and foster online community.
  • Manage UMDF’s social media accounts, ensuring consistent engagement, growth, and alignment with brand voice, including monitoring and responding during evenings / weekends as needed.
  • Lead the editorial calendar and weekly editorial call with cross-department reps to set communications priorities and unify UMDF’s voice.

    • Events & Campaigns

  • Serve as staff lead for program development and production of UMDF’s annual conference large sessions and banquet.
  • Partner closely with Development to create marketing plans for donor campaigns, accelerators, stewardship pieces, and annual events like Energy for Life .
  • Produce branded awareness items (pins, stickers, shirts, etc.) to support campaign and event visibility.

    • Cross-Team Collaboration & Support

  • Act as a communications liaison to Development, supporting digital fundraising campaigns (Giving Tuesday, Valentine’s, etc.) and annual giving refreshes.
  • Provide editorial review of content across UMDF departments to ensure accuracy, clarity, and brand consistency.
  • Prepare presentations and slides for external scientific conferences and community engagement events (MDA, SIMD, etc.).
  • Serve as a resource for institutional knowledge and quick-turnaround content requests.

    • POSITION REQUIREMENTS :

    Education :

  • Bachelor’s degree in communications, public relations, journalism, marketing, or related field.

    • Experience :

  • 5 - 8 years of experience in communications, PR, or digital media, ideally in nonprofit or health-related fields.

    • CORE COMPETENCIES :

  • Strong balance of strategic thinking and hands-on execution, able to both plan and produce.
  • Exceptional writing, editing, and storytelling skills across digital, social, and print platforms.
  • Proven experience managing media relations and developing earned media placements.
  • Established relationships with healthcare journalists or experience pitching health-related stories is a plus.
  • Skilled at creating and analyzing communication metrics to guide strategy.
  • Proficiency in social media tools, analytics, and light design software.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
  • Backgrounds in science or health communication are strongly welcomed.

    • This is a remote position.
