Today, millions of people across more than 100 countries use Blackbaud, and our customers raise, grant, and invest more than $100 billion every year through our solutions.

• Build and lead an exceptional brand organization, attracting and developing great people and creating an environment where they can do the best work of their careers.

What You’ll Bring

• 15+ years in brand, creative, or marketing, including leadership at the VP level.
• A track record of building or transforming global brands at scale. B2B technology and public company experience preferred.
• Exceptional taste and a high creative bar.
• A talent for making complex ideas simple, human, and compelling.
• Experience building and leading high-performing teams.
• Strong business acumen and the ability to connect brand investments to measurable business outcomes.
• Fluency with AI and a point of view on how it is changing brand and creative.
