Director of Communication & Strategy
Harvard University, Cambridge
Harvard UniversityDescription: 18-Mar-2024Director of Communication & StrategyHarvard Graduate School of Education 65335BRJob SummaryHGSE is a diverse community of learners, teachers, and employees who are passionate about changing the world through education and striving for maximum impact in the field of education. Reporting to the Co-Directors of Project Zero, the Director of Communications, is a new role at Project Zero (PZ), a 57-year-old research center housed at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. PZ currently has 15 Principal Investigators who are pursuing varied research interests in a variety of domains and contexts that are broadly related to cognition, understanding, the arts, civic agency, digital engagement, and global education. Current projects include those related to Hip Hop education, teacher professional development, civic education, and teaching in an age when planetary and individual health is in jeopardy. Part of the challenge around communications at PZ is to find the balance between presenting a coherent organization-wide story, while honoring the diversity and independence of the highly varied and ever-evolving individual projects, which are led by different Principal Investigators and have different levels of expertise and resources regarding communications. Position DescriptionThis role will develop, lead, and manage key aspects of the Center’s communications strategy, content production, and media relations strategy across the Center’s widely respected and diverse strands of educational expertise and research. PZ represents an ever-changing collection of loosely linked research projects, most of which work at the intersection of education theory and practice, and focus on rich, complex learning in diverse settings – in person, online, in contexts ranging from preschool classrooms to business boardrooms. It can therefore be challenging to present a coherent narrative about the Center’s work, but this position will need to understand and serve the needs of individual projects, as well as the umbrella organization of PZ. The work will involve developing a communications strategy and communicating research findings and resources from PZ projects; it will also involve marketing PZ’s professional development offerings, in collaboration with PZ’s existing Learning & Outreach team, who are responsible for professional development programming. The Director of Communications will oversee and lightly contribute to the creation and dissemination of written and digital content (videos, podcasts, social media) that will help the Center AND its projects meet strategic goals, including engaging target audiences with key ideas and resources. This position will supervise the website and general communications work of PZ's Digital Learning Systems Analyst and coordinate a redesign of PZ's website, which will happen later this year. Some projects at PZ have their own websites and social media accounts: while the Director of Communication may be invited to offer light advice and share strategic initiatives that may align with the individual project website, this position will not be responsible for creating individual project websites. • Develop and implement a multifaceted, strategic communications plan for PZ to reach target audiences in alignment with the Center’s goals.• Develop and implement strategy around the Center’s content production and dissemination efforts, including identifying and tailoring materials for key audiences.• Advance our commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging by framing the communications produced and disseminated by the Center through a critical, anti-oppressive lens and prioritizing the way in which authentic and diverse perspectives are represented.• Lead the development and design of a process for producing high quality, creative, effective, and compelling content across a variety of platforms, and print, web, and media formats.• Hire and supervise team members as well as vendors and freelance contributors• Lead the development, design, and implementation of content-related project management tools and systems related to communications. The position would help choose which specific tools and systems would best serve the organization.• Develop and execute work plans for content production and dissemination, including developing and managing a communications budget, and identifying, securing, and as needed, managing external vendors to provide additional expertise and resources.• Manage media relations, including building and maintaining strategic relationships within and outside the Harvard Graduate School of Education and the wider University that may foster strategic, accurate, and appropriate media coverage.• Develop communications strategy with attention to HGSE and Harvard University communication guidelines.• Work with Principal Investigators and other researchers to convey complex concepts in compelling formats that are accessible to broad general audiences. Expertise in graphic design or multimedia formats would be welcome and encouraged.• Create meaningful metrics and measure impact/progress toward Communications goals. Analyze and synthesize resulting insights to inform and improve Project Zero’s communications.Basic QualificationsBA degree and seven or more years in relevant fields such as communication, marketing, media relations, writing, and copy-editing; interest/background in teaching and learning preferred.**Please Note: Applicants who wish to be considered MUST submit a cover letter in addition to a resume. Any candidate advancing to the final round of interviews will be asked to complete a writing exercise and share a writing sample. Additional Qualifications and SkillsExperience with web content management systems preferred. Experience with new media, social media applications, and emerging technologies preferred. Excellent interpersonal skills and ability to communicate sometimes complex concepts clearly with a variety of audiences and stakeholders. Ability to anticipate needs, prioritize, and complete tasks in a fast-paced and dynamic organization, which now works in a hybrid fashion, with minimal supervision. Creativity and flair with regards to visual media particularly welcome. Proven experience developing communications strategies for an organization and overseeing communications functions and related staff, preferably in a complex setting. Proven experience producing compelling and high-quality content in various formats. Excellent writing, synthesis, and editing skills.
