Help organize creative campaigns and drive collaboration across the marketing team.
We’re looking for a Departmental Project Lead to support the Marketing team by coordinating key initiatives, facilitating collaboration, and helping projects move from idea to execution.
Who We Are
WhoWhatWhy is a nonprofit investigative news organization producing deep-dive journalism on the most pressing issues of our time. We’re powered by skilled volunteers and a small core staff — from students to seasoned pros — who believe in ethical, independent journalism free from corporate or political influence.
About the Role
As the Project Lead for Marketing, you’ll:
- Attend bi-weekly Marketing meetings (Fridays at 1:00 PM ET)
- Track marketing campaign tasks and team assignments in Trello or spreadsheets
- Connect content creators, designers, and outreach leads to ensure progress
- Help manage timelines, priorities, and deliverables across campaigns
- Follow up with contributors and report on project status to department leads
- Support documentation of plans, ideas, and campaigns for visibility and clarity
What We’re Looking For
- Some experience in project coordination or team-based work (internships and early-career welcome!)
- Strong communication and follow-up skills
- Familiarity with basic project tracking tools (e.g., Trello, spreadsheets, Google Workspace)
- Organized, reliable, and proactive in a remote work environment
- Passionate about nonprofit work and creative, marketing-driven teams
What You’ll Gain
- Exposure to campaign planning, marketing strategy, and creative collaboration
- Skill-building in project tracking and stakeholder communication
- Collaboration with professionals across marketing, design, and social teams
- Flexible, remote schedule (aside from required bi-weekly meeting)
Commitment
We ask for a commitment of 5–7 hours per week and a minimum of 6 months. This includes department meetings, coordination follow-ups, and team collaboration.
How to Apply
Please send:
- Your resume
