JOB DESCRIPTION

Reproaction is looking to hire a Chief Communications and Development Officer (CCDO) ideally in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area (though role is remote) to turbocharge and raise our communications and development efforts and results to a new level of excellence. A new position in the organization, joining the C-suite and working directly in collaboration with the Co-Founder, President, and CEO, the CCDO will provide leadership, strategic ownership, management, and coordination for all Reproaction’s strategic communications, fundraising, and media efforts. The CCDO holds primary responsibility for implementing and holding team members accountable to position and elevate the public profile of Reproaction’s name and work, along with strategies to increase revenue, and diversify and expand our funding pipeline. The CCDO shall create and cultivate significant new lanes of revenue with funders who do not currently know Reproaction, and grow and systematize press relationships that result in the public recognition of our communications objectives and organizational expertise.

The CCDO must have a proven track record in driving philanthropic results, working with both foundations and individual giving. They should also possess the skillset to turn Reproaction into a go-to resource for media within our areas of expertise, and to be a creative, strategic thought partner within the realm of narrative change. They shall bring the gravitas of executive leadership to our mission, vision, and values, and root all of their work in advancing reproductive justice for all. A consummate professional with various levels of management experience, they will supervise, providing mentorship and accountability to results. In managing Reproaction development and communications, the CCDO will act as a partner to the president and CEO, who sets strategy, vision, drives development, and navigates the legal environment while serving as primary spokesperson. They should be comfortable and credible to step on behalf of the president and CEO as may be delegated. This is a full-time, overtime-exempt, remote-based position reporting to the president and CEO.

Successful candidates will display strong, senior-level track records in both communications and development; while we are open to candidates from a variety of backgrounds, we believe this position may be particularly attractive to former executive directors seeking to make high impact in an innovative, low-drama environment without the burden of holding ultimate responsibility.
