Job description

The National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition (NSAC) is seeking a talented communications generalist who brings a facilitative and collaborative approach to advance our policy and grassroots work. The Communications Manager will help tell our story to the media and the public, as well as steward deeper relationships across our community. If you’re an amazing communicator, a strong project manager, and an enthusiastic collaborator who is passionate about putting your skills to work toward building a more sustainable, equitable farm and food system, this is your opportunity.

The Communications Manager will work with staff to develop and implement effective ongoing media and external outreach efforts, with an emphasis on translating complex policy issues for lay audiences and elevating sustainable agriculture stories and voices.

Within a collaborative, team-oriented environment, this role will steward our social media strategy, be the main point of contact for media inquiries, and serve as a resource for staff and our members around communications approach and execution, with the aim of building a national, coordinated communications network that allows NSAC to connect and amplify efforts across our coalition.
