Marketing Encore Fellow

The Alliance is looking to hire a seasoned professional (age 50+) into a grant-funded, 1,000 hours per year (part-time) fellow position to support the execution of various marketing and communication initiatives including email communications, content marketing, and digital and social media deployment. This position will assist in message development, consult with other Alliance teams, and generate, and implement creative and practical marketing communications that will help the Alliance achieve its awareness, marketing, and revenue objectives. This is a one-year, stipend position ($25,000/year), with the possibility of extending one to two years.

Last year, the Alliance launched 10 demonstration sites within its 450-member network, to actively leverage older adults in their workforces and direct service programs through the initiative Second Acts for Strong Communities. Second Acts aims to increase the number of paid and unpaid opportunities for adults age 50+ (“encore talent”), working to increase the capacity of social sector organizations and improve the lives of the children and families they serve. The Alliance has already hired one encore fellow to support the Second Acts initiative and is looking to expand this model by hiring a marketing-specific encore fellow. Because of the Alliance’s interest in understanding more about the experience of encore fellows in the workplace, this person may be interviewed from time to time for insights related to this experience.
