Senior Director, Campaigns & Advocacy

Campaign Strategy and Prioritization Own the strategic framework for how campaign resources, attention, and investment are allocated across an expanding global portfolio. Assess the political, regulatory, and community landscape in each market and design campaigns that build and sustain durable support from the ground up. Translate priorities into campaign architecture: defining objectives by audience, sequencing activity around critical decision points, and selecting the channel mix and partner strategy that will have the greatest impact in each market. Maintain a dynamic view of the full portfolio, surfacing emerging opportunities and pressure points to leadership before they require reactive response. Design the campaign framework that works across community, state, and federal environments simultaneously, ensuring that teams engaged at each level are operating from a coherent strategic approach rather than in isolation. Design campaigns that build genuine, visible public understanding and support, deploying the right combination of paid media, earned coverage, owned content, digital engagement, coalition activation, and on-the-ground presence. Develop audience strategies that speak distinctly to elected officials, regulators, community and civic leaders, local influencers, and the general public. Build and maintain a library of market-specific materials that can be adapted quickly as conditions change and new markets come online, including international markets as the role's scope expands. Establish clear protocols for how teams escalate, coordinate, and communicate during fast-moving situations. Manage agency partners, consultants, and field leads against clear objectives, budgets, and timelines. Build reporting infrastructure that gives leadership real-time visibility into campaign status across the portfolio.
