Role Description The Strategic Communications Lead drives a communication strategy that supports HOPE’s role as a Built for Zero-aligned, data-driven system collaborative and creates the conditions that help accelerate a future where homelessness is rare and brief for all in Durham. This position will implement rigorous strategies, tactics, and campaigns that promote understanding, shift beliefs, and support actions that pave the way toward this future. This includes ensuring that the community’s understanding of homelessness shifts from a program-level narrative to a system-level one—highlighting progress toward reducing and ending homelessness through shared accountability, real-time data, and coordinated action. As the connective tissue between data, operations, leadership, and the public, the Strategic Communications Lead communicates the story of the system’s transformation in a way that drives impact: what we’re learning, how we’re improving, and how partners, residents, and people with lived experience shape the solutions. Duties/Responsibilities - Systemwide Strategic Communication: Develop a system-focused communications strategy that is aligned with our broader objectives and makes progress toward clearly defined measures of success and milestones. - Measurement and Impact: Develop a system for measuring the progress, impact, and learnings of the communications strategy, which should include activity-level performance measures and population-level impact on narrative and discourse. - Data-Informed Storytelling: Translate real-time, by-name data into clear stories, visuals, and insights that show progress, barriers, and system improvements. - Community Engagement & Transparency: Serve as the main communicator with partners, residents, and stakeholders, providing transparent updates on HOPE’s work, decisions, and system performance. - Human-Centered Narrative Development: Create ethical, trauma-informed stories that elevate lived experience and highlight successes, innovations, and system challenges. - Internal Alignment & Communication Infrastructure: Build communication systems that keep HOPE teams aligned, informed, and coordinated in their shared system-change work. - Strategic Advisory & Rapid Communication: Provide timely communication support during key milestones and advise leadership on messaging strategies, risks, and systemwide alignment. Qualifications - Bachelor’s degree in communications, public administration, social sciences, journalism, or a related field. - Experience in strategic communications, ideally within government, systems change initiatives, homelessness response, or Built for Zero-aligned efforts. - Experience driving communications or campaigns aimed at creating measurable impact in shifting awareness, beliefs, or behaviors. - A commitment to and interest in the core mission of the HOPE team: to end homelessness in Durham by achieving Functional Zero for all subpopulations by 2031. - Strong ability to translate data and complex system processes into clear, compelling stories. - Exceptional writing, editing, and communications strategy skills. - Ability to work collaboratively across departments and sectors. - Strong project management capacity in fast-moving environments. Additional Preferred Skills - Advanced degree preferred. - Familiarity with Built for Zero methodology, community-wide reductions strategies, or continuous improvement frameworks. - Experience with homelessness response systems, affordable housing, or human services. - Skills in data visualization, design, or digital media. - Experience communicating on behalf of collaborative, cross-sector systems. - A commitment to, knowledge of, and affection for Durham and its communities, which could include living in Durham. - Advanced collaboration and interpersonal skills with the ability to build consensus and promote the exchange of information among team members and partners.
