Director of Communications

About MFAN The Military Family Advisory Network (MFAN) is a national nonprofit organization that conducts rigorous research, develops responsive programs, and brings together military families, government, nonprofit, and private-sector partners to drive meaningful change.

The Opportunity MFAN seeks a seasoned, strategic Director of Communications to lead an integrated, enterprise-wide communications function. This is not solely a content-production or media-relations role. The Director will establish a multi-channel communications plan, systems, standards, and team practices that enable MFAN to communicate with greater clarity, consistency, and influence as the organization grows. Reporting initially to the Chief Executive Officer, the Director will translate complex research, program impact, policy priorities, and the lived experiences of military families into compelling communications for diverse audiences. The Director of Communications will be counted on to delegate and lead a team, while managing a budget and discerning when it is appropriate to bring in outside support for specialized, tactical elements. The Director will be MFAN's senior communications advisor, lead major organizational initiatives, and manage staff, contractors, agencies, budgets, and workflows. The ideal candidate is both a strong strategist and an excellent operator: someone who can set the direction, build the plan, guide others, and step in personally when the moment requires it.
