How to Apply for Communications & Data Manager

at Ohio Women's Alliance

🏢 About Ohio Women's Alliance

Ohio Women's Alliance is a unique Reproductive Justice organization that builds power through programming, resources, and education specifically for women, gender-expansive people, and youth across Ohio. Unlike generic advocacy groups, OWA focuses on intersectional approaches to ensure access to safe communities, equitable education, holistic healthcare, inclusive democracy, and economic prosperity. Working here means contributing to tangible change in reproductive rights and gender equity in a politically significant state.

About This Role

As Communications & Data Manager, you'll be the bridge between storytelling and data-driven strategy, creating engaging content across platforms while ensuring data integrity in EveryAction to support OWA's mission. This role directly impacts fundraising, advocacy campaigns, and community engagement by translating complex reproductive justice issues into compelling narratives and actionable insights. You'll train staff on data systems while developing communications plans that amplify OWA's voice across Ohio.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your morning might involve analyzing engagement data from yesterday's social media posts about Ohio healthcare access, then creating graphic content for an upcoming reproductive justice campaign. Afternoon could include cleaning donor data in EveryAction, training a staff member on data entry protocols, and drafting a press statement about Ohio legislation. You'll likely end the day reviewing analytics to adjust next week's editorial calendar based on what resonates with Ohio communities.
