We’re Hiring: Director, Marketing & Communications

 About the Role Do you love a good story? Do your ideas light up rooms and inboxes? Are you the kind of person who can turn a donor report into something people actually want to read?

We’re looking for a Director, Marketing & Communications to help shape and share the Humber River Health Foundation story — with passion, purpose, and a little bit of sparkle. You’ll report directly to our President & CEO and work closely with colleagues across fundraising, events, and donor relations to build something meaningful: a brand that connects, campaigns that move people, and communications that actually get read (and clicked).

You’ll lead a team, oversee our external creative partners, and be the brains behind the strategies that help us reach new supporters and celebrate the incredible impact our donors make every day.

What You’ll Do

Lead the Strategy (40%)

• Create and execute an annual marketing and communications plan that elevates HHRF, makes people feel something — and act on it.
• Champion the brand. Build consistency across every channel, campaign, email, and event.
• Bring big ideas to the table and work them into practical, beautiful campaigns that deliver results.
• Guide full-funnel marketing and flawless execution.

Inspire & Manage (25%)

• Lead and support 3 direct reports and a network of freelance creatives and agency partners.
• Help others shine. You’ll coach, cheerlead, and elevate our collective creativity.
• Work cross-functionally with everyone from major gift officers to event planners and hospital partners.

Own the Digital Space (20%)

• Oversee the Foundation’s digital presence — from website updates and social content to email campaigns and paid digital ads.
• Use data and analytics to guide strategy and optimize what’s working (and stop what’s not).
• Ensure everything we post is timely, on-brand, and engaging.

Support PR, Events & Development (10%)

• Help shape our public-facing narrative — from media releases to on-stage scripts.
• Develop event marketing assets and provide on-site support at key Foundation happenings.
• Create content that shines a spotlight on donor impact and hospital innovation.
• Collaborate with fundraising and donor relations to ensure messaging alignment with our goals and tone of voice.

Track & Report (5%)

• Monitor campaign and content performance, report on KPIs, and share insights with leadership.
• Help us grow smarter and stronger with every campaign.

What You Bring

• 7–10 years of experience in marketing and communications, with at least 3 in a leadership role.
• A gift for words — you know how to write, edit, and elevate a message across formats.
• Strong grasp of digital tools (social, email marketing, website CMS, Google Analytics, etc.).
• An eye for design, even if you don’t make the graphics yourself.
• A collaborative spirit and a roll-up-your-sleeves attitude.
• Experience in fundraising, non-profits, healthcare, or agency work is a huge asset.
• Bonus: familiarity with donor CRMs like Raiser’s Edge, or storytelling through video.

Who You Are

• A strategic thinker with creative flair.
• A warm communicator and natural relationship-builder.
• Someone who loves working in a mission-driven environment where heart and hustle go hand-in-hand.
• You’re excited by the idea of modernizing philanthropy and building something bold, fresh, and full of heart.
