Alverno College seeks an experienced, creative, and energetic Director of Marketing and Communications to serve in a highly visible leadership role, one central to the achievement of the College’s overall growth strategy. The Director will plan and shape a comprehensive, integrated program that includes brand strategy, marketing, and communications for one of the region’s and country’s most distinctive and diverse colleges.
Innately enthusiastic, optimistic and a strategist of the rapidly changing digital landscape, the Director will serve as Alverno’s “storyteller in chief,” reaching target audiences with stories that matter about Alverno’s people and programs, and accelerating the College’s position as an innovative leader in higher education.
The Director will demonstrate an understanding of Alverno’s unique mission and culture (and/or the willingness to grow in that understanding), and for promoting the College’s programs, people, values, and purpose. Through creativity, strategic design, and data-driven decisions that align with the College’s strategic plan, the Director will lead the re-imagination of Alverno's brand; help to drive enrollment growth; and orchestrate targeted messaging across media in ways that resonate with the young adult population—consistent with Alverno's primary commitment to innovation and a primary, though not exclusive, focus on the education of women. The Director will be a bold, visionary, innovative, and dynamic leader with the ability to animate, inspire and guide a strong team.
