This is a player-coach role — equal parts hands-on doer and people leader — responsible for applying ART INC's established brand with discipline, consistency, and excellence across every platform and every community touchpoint. This is not a strategy-from-scratch role. ART INC has a brand, a voice, and a direction. What this role does is execute ART INC's established brand with discipline, consistency, and excellence — channeling creativity into results rather than reinvention, and building a marketing function the whole organization can depend on. The Marketing Manager directly supervises the Marketing & Engagement Coordinator and the IT/Marketing Specialist, ensuring both direct reports have clear direction, deadlines, and the support they need to deliver consistently. This person works closely with the CEO on donor-facing events and external visibility, and coordinates regularly with the Chief Operations & Programs Officer to ensure program marketing needs are met and community outreach efforts are aligned with program priorities. This role is built for someone who is energized by mission-driven work, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and knows how to lead a team and deliver results within a lean, purpose-driven organization. If you are a self-starter who takes ownership, builds structure, and brings others along with you — this role was built for you.
