About Michigan Community Resources:

Michigan Community Resources (MCR) is a statewide nonprofit organization that seeks to build strong communities through strong organizations, strong leaders, and a strong nonprofit network. Since 1998, we have equipped nonprofit organizations serving income-diverse communities with the tools, resources, training, and consulting they need to do their best work.

Joining the MCR Team:

We are lawyers, community organizers, artists, writers, activists, advocates, people connectors, and more who share a fierce passion for Detroit and Michigan. We bring experience from across the globe to serve our clients. We value a positive internal team culture that is supportive and encouraging. We promote a healthy work life balance that supports our team members in centering life outside of work. We welcome energetic and innovative thought leaders to apply.

Purpose of the Role:

Michigan Community Resources (MCR) seeks a strategic and visionary Director of External Affairs & Communications to lead the organization's external positioning, communications strategy, and public engagement. This role will shape how MCR is understood by nonprofit leaders, funders, public officials, partners, and the broader community, ensuring that our voice, brand, and communications consistently advance our mission and long-term strategic priorities.

The Director will develop and lead an integrated external affairs strategy that strengthens MCR's reputation, expands its influence, elevates the organization's thought leadership, and supports fundraising, partnership development, and programmatic growth. The successful candidate is an exceptional strategist, communicator, and relationship builder who thrives at connecting organizational priorities with compelling narratives and meaningful stakeholder engagement.

The Director will steward MCR's voice not only as an organization, but as a trusted intermediary helping shape how our stakeholders understand what thriving nonprofit ecosystems require. This individual will lead communications that move beyond promoting MCR's work to influencing the broader conversation about community power, nonprofit capacity, and systems transformation. Working across the organization and with external partners, this individual will identify opportunities to elevate shared narratives, challenge outdated assumptions, and position MCR as a leading voice advancing a stronger, more resilient nonprofit sector.

Identify opportunities to elevate MCR's visibility through partnerships, speaking engagements, media, publications, and sector leadership
Cultivate relationships with philanthropic, nonprofit, government, and community partners that advance MCR's mission and strategic priorities
Monitor emerging issues affecting the nonprofit sector and recommend communications strategies that position MCR as a trusted thought leader

Strategic Communications & Brand Strategy

Lead the development of organization-wide messaging and narrative frameworks that ensure consistency across all audiences and communications
Devise and implement marketing strategies that promote programs, initiatives, and organizational impact
Provide strategic oversight of MCR's website, digital communications, social media, newsletters
Ensure storytelling authentically reflects the experiences of nonprofit partners and communities while advancing MCR's mission
Help position MCR for strategic funding opportunities through strong external messaging and organizational visibility
Establish metrics to evaluate communications performance

Leadership and Organizational Support

Supervise interns, fellows, and volunteers as needed
Manage external consultants, designers, writers, and communications vendors
Build communications capacity across the organization by coaching staff and strengthening internal communications practices
Maintain regular, predictable attendance
Ability to work flexible hours, including limited evenings and/or weekends
Ability to work a hybrid schedule, with in-person days and events typically located in Detroit, MI
Perform other duties as assigned

Required Knowledge, Skills, and Qualifications:

Experience leading communications during periods of organizational growth or change
Experience developing narrative change, thought leadership, public engagement, or issue-based communications strategies that influence audiences beyond traditional marketing
Experience cultivating relationships with philanthropic, nonprofit, government, media, and community partners
Strong understanding of brand strategy, media relations, digital communications and websites, and graphic design
Experience with Adobe Creative Suite and basic website management
Commitment to equity, community-centered communications, and strengthening the nonprofit sector

Preferred Experience:

Bachelor's degree in communications, journalism, or related field
5+ years of similar work experience, especially nonprofit communications
Experience with software tools for managing client interactions and maintaining client records, like Airtable, HubSpot, and SharePoint

Salary & Benefits:

Starting at $80,000 and may be adjusted according to qualifications and experience

We are extraordinarily proud of the benefits package we offer our employees. PTO includes generous vacation and sick leave, company holidays, and regular Mental Health Fridays. We have competitive health, dental, and vision benefits, and an employer sponsored 403(b) retirement plan.
