THE ROLE: Program Coordinator: Thought Leadership, Communications & Campaigns
Britebound is a national nonprofit that is changing the way kids learn about careers and prepare for their futures through access to career-readiness information and experiences.
Britebound fulfills its mission through free digital-first direct experiences, philanthropy, advocacy, thought leadership, groundbreaking research, and impact investing. We believe that exploring career possibilities, as early as middle school, and providing access to education-to-career pathways aligned with one’s passions and goals will result in greater confidence and long-term success for all students.
We are looking for a Program Coordinator: Thought Leadership, Communications & Campaigns.
What You’ll Do:
- Career Navigation Hub Thought Leadership Project & Program Management
Develop and maintain project plans for all Hub marketing and communications work — campaigns, content initiatives, social media, events, PR, and channel programs — defining scope, milestones, owners, dependencies, and deadlines.
Track deliverables, resourcing, and the full Hub budget across concurrent workstreams; manage variances and process-related contracts; flag risks early and drive decisions to keep work on time and on budget.
Run regular status reviews and stakeholder updates; define success metrics and KPIs, establish baselines, and produce dashboards and quarterly reporting for leadership.
- Workflow & Process Improvement
Design, document, and continuously improve repeatable workflows across campaigns, content production, event execution, internal comms, social media, and PR, including standardized review, approval, and handoff between teams.
Build templates, checklists, and project charters so the team can scale without reinventing the wheel each cycle.
Evaluate and recommend tools and systems that streamline planning, collaboration, and reporting.
- Calendar & Operational Coordination
Own and maintain the Career Navigation's Hub’s master calendar — integrating editorial, campaign, event, channel (podcast, newsletter, website, Career Ready HQ), and internal comms schedules into a single source of truth.
Sequence and pace work to avoid bottlenecks and audience message overload; align cadence with organizational priorities and key moments.
Coordinate with other Hub program leads to identify dependencies and synergies, surface blockers and trade-offs early, and facilitate cross-functional decisions.
- Campaign & Content Operations Support
Partner with the communications team to plan and operationalize integrated campaigns (research, policy, partner content), translating strategy into work plans, channel schedules, and measurement frameworks.
Coordinate communications for the Counselor, Employer, and Parent tracks, along with Sector Overviews, the Ad Council program, and the Harvard Workforce Project.
Partner with the marketing team to plan and operationalize national audience campaigns (the Hub Story, Parent Campaign, Counselor Campaign), tracking progress against the broader campaign work plan.
Support RFP development and selection for creative, media-buying, PR, and design agency partners; manage onboarding, scopes of work, and ongoing performance.
Coordinate other key initiatives — new podcast development, the Hub’s messaging platform, media training, and crisis communications planning — and support end-to-end production of briefs, reports, blogs, and web content.
- Event Session Proposal & Operations Support
Source new events, conferences, and speaking opportunities aligned to the Hub’s priorities, with clear ROI and resourcing recommendations.
Manage the Hub event calendar through post-event evaluation, including speaker management, proposal processes, sponsorships, and logistics.
Write, route, and submit event session proposals, and prepare speakers with briefing documents, talking points, and run-of-show.
Maintain a repository of past proposals and reusable content, and conduct post-event ROI analysis to inform future event selection.
- Internal Communications & PR Operations Support
Co-develop and operationalize the Hub’s internal comms plan, including cadence, templates, and channel structure.
Co-plan Town Hall content, manage Hub Teams channels, and coordinate the Hub’s PR project plan, including media outreach and interview prep.
- Social Media
Manage the Managing Directors’ LinkedIn content calendar and community engagement; write and post career-navigation content across channels.
Develop and execute the Hub’s social media content strategy and editorial calendar, creating and scheduling platform-native content in partnership with design and creative.
Conduct social listening and report on social performance — reach, engagement, follower growth, and conversions — translating results into recommendations.
- Center for Career Navigation (CCN) Marcom Support
Serve as the primary communications liaison to the Center for Career Navigation, running weekly coordination meetings on messaging, content, and calendar.
Support the CCN Year 3 thought leadership agenda and amplify CCN research and employer-engagement content across Hub channels.
About You:
3–5 years of project or program management experience, ideally in communications, marketing, or thought leadership environments.
Proven ability to plan, sequence, and deliver complex, multi-workstream programs on time and on budget.
Demonstrated success building workflows, calendars, trackers, and reporting that scale across teams.
Strong process orientation with a continuous-improvement mindset; comfortable diagnosing inefficiencies and implementing fixes.
Excellent cross-functional collaboration, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
Proficiency with project management and collaboration tools (e.g., Asana, Monday, Smartsheet, Teams); familiarity with editorial and campaign planning a plus.
Familiarity with workforce, credentials, and career navigation topics preferred.
Budget management experience with a stated dollar range (campaign/event budgets).
Hands-on social media management experience — content creation, community management, social listening, and analytics across platforms, with LinkedIn expertise strongly preferred.
Experience sourcing speaking opportunities and writing, routing, and submitting conference session proposals.
