 Director of Marketing and Communications
 
Merit School of Music seeks a collaborative, strategic, and hands-on Director of Marketing & Communications to lead a small but high-impact team responsible for advancing Merit's brand, supporting student recruitment, and strengthening donor and community engagement. The Director develops and executes an annual marketing and communications strategy that reflects Merit's mission to remove barriers to high-quality music education and celebrates the diversity, creativity, and potential of young people across Chicago.
 
Reporting to the Vice President for Development & Marketing and supervising two staff members, the Director is both a strategist and an active practitioner. They oversee multi-channel recruitment campaigns; guide the organization’s digital presence across web, email, and social media; manage paid advertising and vendor relationships; and partner closely with Program, Student Services, and Development to ensure clear, accurate, and compelling communications throughout the year. The Director helps create transparent, predictable marketing processes and fosters a collaborative, two-way working culture with Merit’s Program, Student Services, and Development teams. The Director also leads major institutional storytelling efforts—including the annual report, blog posts, etc.—and helps ensure that all external messaging upholds Merit's dignity-centered, equity-driven approach.
 
The ideal candidate is an innovative and collaborative marketing professional who can balance big-picture thinking with day-to-day execution. They bring strength in content creation, digital marketing, and campaign planning, along with the ability to coordinate across departments, coach staff, and manage multiple projects with clarity and care. Above all, they are energized by Merit's mission and committed to creating communications that welcome, inform, and inspire the diverse communities we serve.
 
Organizational Overview
 
Merit School of Music is a community music school located in Chicago's West Loop. Our primary goals are to help young people transform their lives and experience personal growth through music by providing access to sustained participation. For more than 40 years, we have been home to a diverse community of talented young musicians and have served as a springboard for them to achieve their full musical and personal potential. Our 125 passionate and experienced teaching artists provide access to high-quality music education, engaging over 3,000 students annually at our downtown location and in area schools and community centers.
 
Our students, who reflect Chicago's socioeconomic and ethnic diversity, have the rare opportunity to learn together, dream together, teach each other, and broaden their horizons as they build inspiring lives through music. Merit develops musicians and equips young people with the tools they need to excel in life; virtually 100 percent of our graduates attend conservatories or colleges.
 
Merit School of Music is committed to building a world where historically underrepresented groups can attain access to quality music education. Simultaneously, Merit is working to become an organization that truly reflects the city's demographics and the students we serve. Merit is dedicated to being an inclusive, diverse, equitable, and anti-racist organization and continually examining our efforts in this area.
