🏢 About LoveYourBrain

LoveYourBrain Foundation is a unique nonprofit that combines mindfulness, yoga, and community-building to support individuals affected by traumatic brain injury. Working here means contributing to a mission-driven team that values holistic healing and social impact, with a strong online community of over 116k followers across platforms.

About This Role

As Communications & Marketing Manager, you'll lead content creation, social media management, and campaign analysis to expand LoveYourBrain's reach and engagement. This role is impactful because your work directly helps brain injury survivors access resources and build community, while driving awareness for holistic recovery approaches.

💡 A Day in the Life

Start by checking social media comments and scheduling posts for the day using Meta Business Suite. Mid-morning, draft an email newsletter in Campaign Monitor and update the SquareSpace website with a new program landing page. Afternoon is spent analyzing last week's campaign performance in Google Analytics and brainstorming content for an upcoming awareness event, with time for a team check-in to align on messaging.
