Jobbeschreibung

Every day, in every country, sex traffickers find new ways to exploit people, on screens and in person. One in three victims is a child.

When sex trafficking and exploitation try to take childhood away, we rally everyone, and everything needed to protect it.

Whether it’s research, prevention, aftercare or education—around the world or around the corner—we do whatever it takes, for as long as it takes.

Because every child deserves a childhood. And every childhood deserves an ally.

Position Overview

This role is responsible for shaping and leading Ally’s marketing and communications strategy with a strong focus on fundraising impact, audience growth for prevention and advocacy, and brand-driven revenue. The Marketing & Communications Director brings a business‑minded, innovative approach to storytelling—treating campaigns as strategic growth levers rather than traditional fundraising outputs.

This leader understands how modern audiences engage, give, and advocate—and designs marketing systems that convert awareness into action. They bring strong creative judgment, trend fluency, and strategic clarity, enabling Ally to remain culturally relevant, visually compelling, and financially sustainable.

As part of our passionate team, you will play a key role in raising awareness and inspiring action. You will oversee subcontractors and collaborate with various stakeholders to bring our shared vision to life. Together, we will design and execute impactful campaigns that engage diverse audiences, tell our story authentically, and build a global community united in the fight against sex trafficking and exploitation of children.

• Translate strategic priorities into a clear marketing roadmap with defined objectives, timelines, and measurable outcomes.
• Serve as a key thought partner to senior leadership, providing strategic insight on brand positioning, audience engagement, and growth opportunities.
• Champion innovation by exploring new platforms, tools, and approaches to expand Ally’s reach and impact globally.
• Apply a business and growth mindset to campaigns, evaluating ROI, scalability, and long‑term audience value.

Storytelling & Brand Stewardship

• Shape and safeguard Ally’s brand voice, ensuring all communications are authentic, compassionate, and grounded in dignity and care.
• Lead the creation of empathetic, compelling narratives that elevate survivor‑centered storytelling and inspire understanding, trust, and action.
• Ensure consistent, values‑driven messaging across all channels, including digital platforms, campaigns, and organizational communications.

Campaigns & Content

• Conceptualize campaigns as strategic products with clear audiences, value propositions, success metrics, and lifecycle plans.
• Design, oversee, and execute integrated marketing and awareness campaigns that mobilize supporters, donors, and partners around Ally’s mission.
• Oversee content strategy and production across digital platforms (website, social media, email, and other channels), ensuring high‑quality, impactful storytelling.
• Collaborate with internal teams and external subcontractors to bring campaigns and creative initiatives to life on time and on budget.

Creative Direction & Aesthetic Leadership

• Ensure all creative work meets a high bar for aesthetic excellence, cultural relevance, and platform‑native execution.
• Stay current on design, storytelling, and digital trends, ensuring Ally’s brand feels modern, credible, and emotionally resonant.
• Ensure Ally’s visual identity and storytelling remain contemporary, compelling, and differentiated in a crowded landscape.
• Confidently evaluate creative work across disciplines, offering clear, constructive feedback that elevates quality.
• Lead, mentor, and grow the marketing and creative team, fostering a culture of collaboration, creativity, accountability, and excellence.
• Manage relationships with consultants, agencies, and freelancers, ensuring alignment with strategy, brand, and values.
• Encourage professional development and empower team members to do their best work in service of the mission.

Performance, Insights & Budget Management

• Use data and analytics to evaluate the effectiveness of campaigns and communications efforts, applying insights to continuously refine strategy and improve outcomes.
• Establish key performance indicators (KPIs) and reporting practices to track progress and impact.
• Collaborate to manage the marketing budget responsibly, maximizing efficiency and ensuring resources are allocated to the highest‑impact initiatives.
