Careers

Description:

The Breaking Barriers Collaborative is looking for a Communications Manager to help define and implement the program’s communication plan and strategies to expand its reach across social media and other platforms. This role will play an important position on the BBC Team as they will engage with current and former participants’ and elevate their stories through equitable storytelling, refining BBC’s messaging, and collaborating with the BBC team to promote the program throughout the Pacific Northwest. The Communications Manager will support the program’s outreach to small and large companies to recruit them to participate in BBC programming.

This position is ideal for someone who combines strong execution with creative instinct: someone who takes ownership of established communications tools and systems and consistently makes them better, rather than someone looking to build a program from the ground up. You’re energized by producing high-quality content under real deadlines, but you’re just as engaged as a thought partner, bringing ideas to the table on messaging, storytelling angles, and channel strategy, and pressure-testing your own work against data. You’re skilled at building trust-based relationships with businesses, nonprofits, and government agencies, and you bring genuine care to interviewing and representing program participants, especially small and BIPOC-owned businesses, in ways that are non-transactional and culturally responsive. You thrive in a collaborative, mission-driven organization, and while EV knowledge is a plus, it’s not required.
