Director of Campaigns

Nature is Nonpartisan, Inc.
Paradise Valley, AZ

The RoleNINP runs multiple national campaigns simultaneously. This role exists to make sure they execute. The Director of Campaign Management is the operational engine behind our campaign portfolio the person who turns strategy into schedules, schedules into action, and action into results. You'll own the end-to-end management of our campaigns from planning through execution, keeping every workstream on track, every partner accountable, and every activation ready to land.This is not a pure strategy role and it's not a pure marketing role but it requires real fluency in both. The best candidate understands how marketing campaigns are built, what makes them work, and how to read the signals that tell you whether they're working or not. You know which metrics matter, what the data is telling you, and critically how to use that information to adjust course in real time. When a campaign is underperforming, you're not waiting to be told. You see it, you understand what it means, and you help drive the response.To make it concrete: you might spend a Monday building out a detailed project plan for the next phase of Going Public, mapping every deliverable to an owner and a date. Tuesday you're on the phone with a venue and a vendor, confirming logistics for a road tour stop in the Mountain West. Wednesday you're running a cross-team campaign review, surfacing where things are off-schedule and what the performance data is saying about what needs to change. Thursday you're on-site at an activation, managing execution in real time. That's the job and the right person will find it energizing, not exhausting.You'll report directly to the Chief Strategy and Operations Officer. That reporting line reflects the operational weight of this role. You'll work in close partnership with the Chief Marketing Officer and Chief Advocacy Officer, serving as the connective tissue that keeps campaign execution aligned across functions. Your relationship with the CMO will be especially close you'll need to understand the marketing strategy behind each campaign well enough to protect it when execution gets complicated, and to flag when performance data is telling you something needs to change. Strategy comes from every direction your job is to make it real.This role has no direct reports but involves extensive day-to-day management of vendors and contractors. You'll be the primary operational relationship owner with external partners across every active campaign. This role requires approximately 20% travel, primarily to support field activations, road tour stops, and live events across the country.What You'll OwnCampaign Planning and Project ManagementOwn the master campaign plan across NINP's active portfolio, including Going Public, Road 2 Clean Water, Mega Fire Hot Sauce, and others as they launchBuild and maintain detailed project plans timelines, milestones, deliverables, owners, and decision points for every active campaignRun regular campaign reviews with cross-functional teams, tracking progress, reviewing performance data, and driving accountabilityIdentify risks early operational and performance-related and resolve them before they become problemsEnsure campaign plans stay integrated with NINP's broader organizational calendar and prioritiesLogistics and On-the-Ground OperationsManage all logistical elements of campaign activations venues, vendors, travel, staffing, and on-site executionServe as the primary operational lead for road tours, live events, and field activationsBuild scalable logistics frameworks that can be replicated across a multi-stop, multi-format campaign calendarManage relationships with external vendors, production partners, and local contacts across campaign marketsReview and manage vendor and contractor agreements, ensuring deliverables and timelines are clearly defined and metCross-Functional CoordinationServe as the central coordination point across marketing, advocacy, communications, and external partners on all campaign activityPartner closely with the CMO to ensure campaign execution aligns with messaging strategy and content timelines and use performance feedback to identify when adjustments are neededPartner closely with the CAO to ensure activations are integrated with advocacy goals and congressional engagementManage external partner and stakeholder expectations around campaign timelines and deliverablesTranslate leadership decisions into operational direction quickly and clearlyWho You AreAn operator.
