Marketing Communications Manager

Marketing & Communications Manager

Some jobs promote products.
This one promotes dignity, inclusion, opportunity, and human connection.

At The Arc of Fayette County, we believe every person deserves to live a meaningful life filled with respect, belonging, independence, and choice. For decades, we have supported individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities through compassionate services, community engagement, advocacy, and person-centered support.

We are seeking an experienced, creative, and mission-driven Marketing & Communications Manager to help lead and elevate the public voice of our organization.

This is not simply a social media or marketing support role. This position plays a key leadership role in shaping how our mission, programs, and impact are communicated to the community, donors, families, partners, employees, and stakeholders we serve.

The ideal candidate is both strategic and hands-on — someone who can develop long-term communication initiatives while also creating compelling content, building relationships, supporting fundraising efforts, and telling meaningful stories with professionalism, authenticity, and heart.

What You’ll Do

Lead Strategic Communications & Brand Presence

• Develop and implement strategic marketing and communication initiatives that strengthen public awareness, community engagement, recruitment efforts, and donor support.
• Help shape and maintain the agency’s public voice, messaging, and brand identity across all communication channels.
• Ensure communications consistently reflect the organization’s mission, values, and commitment to dignity and inclusion.

Tell Meaningful Stories

• Create compelling written and visual content that highlights the experiences, successes, and impact of the individuals and programs we support.
• Write and oversee newsletters, website content, annual reports, press releases, donor communications, social media content, blogs, and marketing materials.
• Ensure storytelling is person-centered, respectful, ethical, and authentic.

Manage Digital & Social Media Engagement

• Oversee the agency website and ensure content remains current, engaging, and accessible.
• Develop and manage social media strategy and content across multiple platforms.
• Monitor engagement analytics and identify opportunities to increase visibility, community reach, and audience engagement.

Support Fundraising & Development Efforts

• Collaborate with leadership to support fundraising campaigns, donor engagement, sponsorship outreach, special events, and community partnerships.
• Assist with grant writing, impact reporting, donor stewardship communications, and development initiatives.
• Help strengthen donor confidence through meaningful communication and transparency regarding agency impact.

Build Community Relationships

• Serve as an ambassador for the organization within the community.
• Develop positive relationships with media outlets, community organizations, businesses, advocacy groups, and other stakeholders.
• Support public relations efforts, community events, and agency outreach initiatives.

What We’re Looking For

We are seeking someone who:

• Is an exceptional communicator and storyteller
• Thinks strategically while managing day-to-day execution
• Brings professionalism, creativity, and initiative to their work
• Is highly organized and able to manage multiple priorities independently
• Understands the importance of ethical, person-centered communication
• Builds strong relationships and communicates effectively with diverse audiences
• Is passionate about mission-driven work and community impact

Preferred Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Communications, Marketing, Public Relations, Journalism, Nonprofit Management, or a related field

• Graphic design and content creation experience using Canva, Adobe Creative Suite, or similar tools preferred
• Grant writing and donor engagement experience strongly preferred
• Nonprofit, healthcare, disability services, or human services experience is a plus

Why Join Our Team?
