Director, Direct Marketing, Ms. Foundation for Women, New York, NY

Director, Direct Marketing

OVERVIEW
 
The Ms. Foundation for Women fights to eliminate barriers for all women. We fight to keep lawmakers and public figures in check, to protect and fortify our fragile successes, and to secure the same opportunities for all women in the U.S. We strategically target and tear down obstacles that stand in the way of each and every woman's health, safety and economic well-being, with a particular commitment to building the power of low-income communities and women of color. Our fundamental belief is that when even one woman is held back, it diminishes us all.

How do we accomplish all we do? By speaking out and demanding change on the most pressing issues facing women today. By investing funds — and more importantly — time, expertise and training in over 100 trailblazing organizations nationwide. By connecting these groups so they can magnify their impact. By possessing deep knowledge of women's experiences on the ground and advocating for policy solutions on the national stage.

There's more to do — and with your help, we're doing it. Because to secure a better future for ourselves, our families, our communities, this is a fight we can't afford to lose.
