Senior Communications Officer

In a newly visioned position for the organization, and reporting to the Deputy Director, the Senior Communications Officer will lead California Ocean Science Trust’s day-to-day communications function and help shape how OST is understood by funders, state leaders, scientific partners, experts, and other priority audiences. We seek a thoughtful and politically savvy communications professional who can move comfortably from vision to execution: helping define and steward OST’s external voice, translating complex science and policy work into compelling communications, leading donor and funder communications in close partnership with the Director of Philanthropy, and managing OST’s brand in external engagements and online channels including website, email and social media.
