Digital Marketing Director

Seeking: A Marketing Match Who Gets It

We’re the Armed Services YMCA—165 years strong, mission-driven, and not interested in boring marketing.

We’re looking for a Digital Marketing Director (if you’ve got the scars and the wins to prove it) who knows how to make people stop scrolling and start caring.

About You

• You’re equal parts strategist and scrappy executor
• You don’t just follow trends—you’re usually early to them (yes, we mean AI too)
• You’ve tested, failed, optimized, and scaled—and have the metrics to show it
• You can turn a mission into a movement (and know the difference)
• You think in hooks, headlines, and conversion paths—not just campaigns
• You’re as comfortable in data dashboards as you are in creative brainstorms

Bonus points if:

• You’ve built something from scratch and made it matter
• You understand how to balance heart + performance (this is nonprofit, but we play to win)
• You can translate TikTok, LinkedIn, and AI strategy to non-marketers clearly

What You’ll Do

• Lead and execute digital marketing strategy across social, email, web, and paid channels
• Develop and optimize campaigns that drive awareness, engagement, and conversion
• Leverage AI and emerging tools to increase efficiency, creativity, and performance
• Analyze performance metrics and continuously refine campaigns based on data insights
• Collaborate cross-functionally with fundraising, programs, and leadership teams
• Manage external partners and/or internal resources as needed

Basic Qualifications (HR-Required)

• Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Communications, Business, or related field AND
• 8+ years of progressive experience in digital marketing, growth marketing, or related field OR equivalent combination of education and experience
• Demonstrated experience managing and optimizing digital campaigns across multiple channels (e.g., social media, email, paid media, SEO/SEM)
• Experience using marketing analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics, CRM platforms, marketing automation tools) to inform decision-making
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines in a fast-paced environment

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with AI-driven marketing tools and platforms
• Experience in nonprofit, mission-driven, or purpose-led organizations
• Familiarity with fundraising or donor acquisition/engagement strategies
• Experience managing agencies or cross-functional teams

About Us

We serve military families where they serve—through childcare, food support, and programs that strengthen readiness and resilience. It’s meaningful work. It deserves exceptional marketing.

The Relationship

We’ll give you a mission worth your talent, room to experiment, and a team that moves fast. You bring curiosity, edge, and a bias toward action.

If you’re looking for a place where your work actually matters—and performs—we should talk.
