Civitech is a public benefit corporation dedicated to creating a fairer and more equitable democracy by building the tools and infrastructure needed to increase civic participation, empower Democratic candidates to win, and support the success of progressive causes. Since its founding in 2019, over 500 partners—a range of nonprofit organizations, national political committees, and individual campaigns—have utilized Civitech’s tools to reach tens of millions of voters to help create a more equitable and progressive democracy.
The VP of Marketing leads Civitech’s marketing strategy and execution across Civitech and related brands in our portfolio, helping grow our services, products, and influence within the political ecosystem. This role is responsible for positioning Civitech’s tools and data to reach campaigns, nonprofits, advocacy organizations, and civic institutions working to increase civic participation.
The VP of Marketing oversees and develops a distributed marketing team and contractor network while running programs across product marketing, demand generation, content, communications, and brand. This leader partners closely with executive leadership and cross-functional teams to align marketing efforts with company growth goals.
This is a player-coach role for someone who can set strategy, manage and develop a high-performing team, and still jump in to build campaigns, launch initiatives, and turn ideas into measurable results across multiple brands and product lines.
