Head of Media

Required

• You might be a great fit for this role if you:
• Set media strategy. You’ve led proactive and reactive media strategies for high-profile organizations or brands, and you know how to reach and engage a wide range of audiences.
• Build media networks. You can build and leverage strong relationships with journalists to land placements, correct misrepresentations, and deliver effective campaigns.
• Manage crises. You’ve handled high-stakes media situations and led crisis communications.
• Build and lead teams. You’ve built, developed, and managed remote teams and external partners, including agencies and consultants on media and influencer campaigns. You have a clear vision for expanding CEA’s media function.
• Thrive under pressure. You work well under pressure, can juggle multiple, often conflicting, priorities, and enjoy fast-paced, ambiguous environments where you set your own direction.
• Understand and care about EA. You’re familiar with the principles and ideas of effective altruism, or can quickly develop a nuanced understanding of the ecosystem. You’re excited to help more people understand EA accurately and apply its principles in their own lives.
• Are well-versed in the US political landscape and appreciate how it affects the work of CEA as a non-partisan non-profit.
• Other information
• This is a full-time, remote position based in the US. We'd prefer candidates in or near a major media hub such as New York, Washington DC, or San Francisco. You must already have the right to work in the US; we can't sponsor visas for this role.
• Start date: Ideally you would start as soon as possible, but we can be flexible for the right candidate.
• Reports to: Incoming Director of Communications (Tess Newton-Palmer, Head of Marketing and Communications in the interim).
