Development & Marketing Director

Job Title: Development & Marketing Director

Department: North Carolina Chapter

Location: Hybrid based in Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, NC

Reports To: Chapter Director

Supervises: Communications Manager

 

Context:  At the Sierra Club, we believe in the power of interdependence. Together, we remain committed to the fight for a healthy climate built on a foundation of environmental, racial, economic, and gender justice – a future where all people benefit from a healthy, thriving planet and a direct connection to nature. As the climate crisis and deeply entrenched systemic racism all fuel injustice, we will continue to fight for a bold, transformational agenda that recognizes the interconnectedness between our planet, our humanity, and our future. By recognizing that our destinies are tied, we continue to name that all things are fundamentally connected, and the overlap between ecology, race, gender, and representative government will move to either advance our collective humanity or to oppress it. Sierra Club has close to 700 staff across the country and a network of 64 local chapters that are led and fueled by thousands of volunteers. We are also proud to be a unionized employer, with three labor unions representing more than half of our employees.

 

Scope: The Development & Marketing Director leads the Chapter's integrated fundraising, marketing, and communications efforts to grow revenue and build power across North Carolina. Supervises the Communications Manager, develops and executes multi-year fundraising and engagement strategies, manages donor relationships and CRM systems, and oversees multi-channel marketing and communications to advance the Chapter's environmental advocacy and organizing goals. Supports the Chapter Director in donor engagement and ensures consistent, compelling messaging aligned with both national Sierra Club standards and North Carolina audiences. This is an in-person position based in Raleigh, NC.

 

This is a hybrid position that requires frequent in-person meetings as well as occasional in-state travel.
