Marketing Communications Specialist

Our client is seeking a part-time Marketing & Communications Contractor to help activate an established network of relationships, execute structured outreach, and expand the reach of the organization's newsletter, sponsored content, and thought leadership.

This is a junior, execution-focused role rather than a traditional content creation position. The leadership team has built a significant ecosystem of relationships across technology, policy, investment, research, media, and advocacy. This person will help systematically activate those relationships using established processes, messaging, and tools.

• Maintain and activate a structured contact database in Hub Spot, ensuring contacts are organized, segmented, and ready for outreach
• Execute structured and sequenced outreach campaigns across key audience groups using established messaging and outreach frameworks
• Track outreach activity, responses, follow-ups, and relationship status within Hub Spot
• Identify responses and engagement that warrant leadership attention and coordinate appropriate follow-up
• Help manage the production and distribution calendar for the organization's biweekly newsletter
• Support outreach for sponsored newsletter opportunities, including identifying warm prospects and moving conversations forward
• Track sponsorship conversations and consistently follow up on outstanding opportunities
• Amplify newsletter and sponsored content through Linked In and other relevant channels
• Compile basic performance metrics including open rates, impressions, and click-throughs
• Research relevant media, podcast, event, panel, and speaking opportunities
• Draft and send concise outreach and pitch emails using the organization's established messaging and voice
• Maintain organized trackers for media, event, sponsorship, and relationship outreach and coordinate logistics as needed

• 1-3 years of experience in marketing, communications, outreach, relationship management, or a related area
• Experience working with a CRM, ideally Hub Spot, with an understanding of using CRM data to drive outreach and manage relationships
• Experience with email outreach, including segmentation, sequencing, follow-ups, and adapting existing messaging
• Strong written communication skills with the ability to write polished, concise emails and short-form copy
• Excellent organization and follow-through with the ability to work independently in a part-time environment
• Comfort working in a small, fast-moving organization where you can take ownership of execution
• Familiarity with Google Sheets and maintaining accurate contact and outreach data
• Experience with newsletter platforms such as Substack or Mailchimp is a plus
• Experience with Linked In content amplification and social media scheduling is a plus
• Background in policy communications, advocacy, technology PR, nonprofit marketing, media outreach, or editorial pitching is a plus

• Start Date/Duration: Starting ASAP for an initial 3-month contract with potential to extend
• Hours/Week: Approximately 15 Hours/Week, potentially increasing to 20 Hours/Week
• Onsite/Offsite: Fully Remote
• Laptop/Software Requirements: Working on your own laptop and software
