Marketing & Communications Manager

National Park Trust protects public lands early and expands access, so the next generation grows up connected to America’s parks. By safeguarding places before they are threatened and opening the door to meaningful park experiences, we turn access into lifelong care.

As National Park Trust enters its next phase of growth and fundraising, we’re investing in clearer storytelling, sharper messaging, and more confident communication — ensuring our impact is understood, felt, and supported by donors, partners, and communities nationwide.

Position Overview:

We are seeking a Marketing & Communications Manager to help shape how our organization tells its story — and to translate that story into increased awareness, engagement, and support from donors and partners.

This is a hands-on, manager-level role for a strong writer and storyteller who can take strategic direction, bring it to life across channels, and contribute original ideas and creative energy. You’ll work closely with leadership to apply a clear messaging framework and build on the Park Trust’s existing momentum, helping evolve how the brand shows up as the organization grows.

In this role, you’ll take day-to-day ownership of core communications channels (including social, email, web, and press), in close collaboration with leadership, ensuring the Trust’s impact is communicated clearly, consistently, and in ways that inspire people to get involved. You will play an important part in supporting fundraising and partner engagement through clear, compelling communications.

This role offers the chance to work creatively across channels — from social media and email to events and campaigns — and is ideal for someone energized by storytelling, passionate about parks, and motivated by building long-term care for the land.

This is an exciting opportunity for a mid-level communications professional to step into greater responsibility, sharpen their storytelling skills, and help grow a mission-driven brand at a pivotal moment.

Who You Are:

• Bachelor’s Degree from an accredited college or university
• 3–5 years of experience in communications, content, or marketing
• A strong storyteller and writer who understands how to make an impact compelling for donors
• Experience supporting or managing content calendars and editorial workflows
• Comfortable taking direction and confident offering ideas and POV
• Assertive, thoughtful, and collaborative
• Organized, reliable, and able to manage multiple projects at once
• Comfortable working in the office and attending events to capture content when needed
• Passion for parks, conservation, education, and/or youth engagement

Skills & Experience:

• Excellent writing and editing skills across formats (web, email, social, press)
• Experience supporting or managing social media channels
• Basic photography and video capture/editing skills (or strong interest in learning)
• Familiarity with tools like Mailchimp, Canva, and Google Analytics
• Strong attention to detail and follow-through

Salary: Salary is $70,000 – $80,000, commensurate with experience
