Marketing Manager (Pro Bono)

Job Overview

As a Marketing Manager at the Veteran Project Manager Mentor Alliance (VPMMA), you will provide specialized pro bono support to enhance our brand presence through high-leverage strategy and process design.

You will play a vital role in our 100% volunteer-led mission to empower the veteran and military spouse community.

Key Responsibilities

• Comprehensive Marketing Planning: Develop and execute a master marketing plan that encompasses digital marketing and advertising, community outreach, and the creation of standardized marketing materials to broaden the organization's reach.
• Strategic Oversight: Develop and maintain a high-level digital campaign calendar and social media schedule for others to help execute.
• Curated Content Management: Oversee the "batching" of digital content and newsletters, utilizing templates to ensure brand consistency with minimal design time.
• Process Optimization: Document 1–2 standardized workflows per month (e.g., "How to post a Member Spotlight") to ensure continuity and ease of use for future volunteers.
• Focused Promotion Coordination: Advise on the visibility of VPMMA programs and recruitment campaigns through targeted, high-impact efforts rather than high-volume posting.
• Monthly Performance Review: Conduct a brief monthly review of digital analytics to provide data-driven recommendations for future outreach.
• Core Messaging Support: Act as the "final eye" on key public statements to maintain a professional organizational voice.

Skills and Qualifications

• Professional Experience: Proven background in marketing, digital communications, or a related field.
• Project Management: Strong ability to manage workflows and document processes in a remote environment.
• Communication: Excellent written and verbal skills with a focus on clear, consistent messaging.

Benefits

• Networking: Connect with a diverse community of project management professionals and veteran advocates.
• Recognition: Eligible for volunteer awards and letters of recommendation based on contributions.
