About the New Pennsylvania Project:
The New Pennsylvania Project (NPP) is a voting rights organization with a year-round primary focus on voter registration, civic education and mobilization. NPP centers historically disenfranchised and often neglected Black, Indigenous and other people of color, immigrant communities and the youth in our work. Through civic engagement, we ensure all eligible voters feel compelled to exercise their freedom to vote in the Commonwealth.
The New Pennsylvania Project has a shared services agreement with the New PA Project Education Fund (“NPPEF”), a non-partisan 501(c)3 voting rights organization. Staff may, at the request of NPP, provide similar services to NPPEF. Any time spent providing services to NPPEF will be considered part of the hours and duties set forth by NPP.
NPP centers communities who live in urban, rural and suburban Pennsylvania to include: Philadelphia, Montgomery, Delaware, Chester, Bucks, Dauphin, Cumberland, Lancaster, Allegheny, Berks, Lehigh, Monroe and Northampton counties. We are consistently engaging these communities, educating neighbors, colleagues, and friends about civil rights, fair education funding, marijuana legalization, economic justice, and environmental justice and stewardship.
The Role: Director of Strategic Communications

As a prerequisite, the successful candidate must believe in the core values of NPP/NPPEF and be driven by the mission. The candidate should demonstrate a passion for breaking new ground to lead social change. This is a strategic role with a heavy emphasis on brand creation and management.
The Director of Strategic Communications is responsible for managing all organizational communication activities and building external relationships with NPP & NPPEF’s constituencies, digital media and external media relationships.

The Director of Strategic Communications will set and guide the strategy for all communications, website, digital media, and public relations messages and collateral to consistently articulate
NPP/NPPEF’s mission. The Director of Strategic Communications will ensure that NPP is viewed as the primary source, disseminator, and conduit of information within this diverse network and constituent base. This role will work closely with a senior leadership team within the organization as the communications partner on a variety of strategic initiatives.
Because our target communities and colleagues come from a wide range of backgrounds, this position needs to be able to thoughtfully navigate issues related to diversity, race, equity and inclusion, and bring a deep commitment to advancing these values.
