More than 40% of households in Westchester and Putnam are living in poverty or paycheck to paycheck—what we call ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed). Our work is focused on helping families meet immediate needs while creating opportunities for a stronger future. UWWP operates with an approximately $12 million budget and a team of approximately 40 full-time and 60 part-time employees, collectively generating nearly $43 million in community impact.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys both strategy and execution. One day you may be developing an organizational communications strategy; the next, designing a campaign, creating social content, updating our website, producing a video, writing a press release, or supporting a major community event.

Partner across 211, Community Impact, Resource Development, Operations, and executive leadership to develop effective communications strategies. Use analytics and communications metrics to evaluate performance and identify opportunities for growth. Help develop a long-term strategic marketing and communications plan that broadens our audience, strengthens donor engagement, and keeps constituents connected to UWWP throughout the year. What We're Looking For Our ideal candidate combines creativity with strong execution. You should be comfortable managing multiple projects, working independently, collaborating with senior leadership, and adapting to changing priorities. Qualifications include a bachelor's degree in Communications, Marketing, Journalism, or a related field; 2+ years of relevant digital communications experience; proficiency with WordPress and graphic design software such as Adobe Creative Suite; social media management experience; strong video editing and production skills; photography and photo-editing skills; and excellent written and verbal communication skills. Most importantly, we're looking for someone who is a strong storyteller, creative thinker, collaborative partner, and doer.
