Brand and Growth Marketing Content Manager (Nonprofit / Healthcare / National Expansion)

Chicago, IL (Hybrid) | Full-Time | $70,000

About the Role

A nonprofit that brings trained hospital magicians to children in hospitals is hiring a Brand and Growth Marketing Content Manager to build and run the content and marketing engine behind its national expansion. The organization reached over 8,400 kids last year, with hospitals requesting more programming and new cities within reach. The organization is also in the middle of a rebrand and is ready to hire someone who can take the new identity and scale it across every channel.

This is a hands-on, senior content role that combines strategy with daily execution. The Content Manager will attend programs and events to capture real moments, shoot and edit video and photo content, build campaigns, manage social media, track performance, and report to leadership and the Board. The role works closely with the founder and Senior Director of Marketing within an established in-house production approach. The work directly supports volunteer recruitment, donor engagement, brand awareness, and expanded reach to new patients and new cities.

This is not an entry-level position. The organization is looking for someone who has built and run content and marketing systems that produce measurable results, and who can show it through a portfolio.
