The role includes oversight of dedicated contractor resources and the communications budget, with responsibility for independently determining how those resources are best deployed. This is an entrepreneurial opportunity to build, shape, and grow ARC’s communications function, increasing its capabilities, reach, and impact as the organization evolves.
Reporting to the CEO, the Director partners closely with the development team and program leadership to strengthen engagement with the people and organizations ARC serves.
