Position Summary

IYF is looking for a content marketing pro who wants to drive impact and build a life filled with purpose.

The Content Manager will create, publish, and optimize content across IYF’s owned channels and own IYF’s website, email content, and social presence. You’ll make sure our digital channels are current, compelling, and aligned with campaign and lifecycle marketing priorities.

This is a hands-on role for a strong content generalist—someone who can write, edit, publish, and lightly design content, manage a consistent social cadence, and flex into non-digital content needs while partnering closely with the Lifecycle Marketing Manager to support campaigns and nurture journeys.

Essential Functions

• Create content across digital and select non-digital formats, and repurpose it across email, social media, web, and other channels as needed.
• Maintain and regularly update IYF’s website, ensuring content is accurate, timely, accessible, and aligned with brand and messaging standards.
• Identify and execute incremental improvements to the website that enhance clarity, engagement, and conversion.
• Manage social media publishing cadence across priority platforms, including content planning, scheduling, and posting.
• Monitor and report on social performance and engagement metrics, using insights to refine content and cadence.
• Partner closely with the Lifecycle Marketing Manager to develop campaign content that supports nurture journeys, fundraising efforts, and partner engagement.
• Support email and campaign content creation, including drafting copy, adapting messaging for different audiences, and coordinating with marketing operations.
• Produce light design and video editing work (e.g., simple graphics, short videos, basic layout), leveraging contractors or external partners for more complex creative needs.
• Ensure consistency of voice, tone, and brand across all channels.
• Perform other duties as requested.
