The senior director will also help drive the creation of timely and strategic content that promotes the Roundtable’s research, event programming and the contributions of our donor network and nonprofit partners to our target audiences. Additionally, this individual will lead the organization’s strategy for building and maintaining relationships with the press and securing high-value placements for the Roundtable’s work. This role will help train and mentor the Roundtable’s communications staff, which is responsible for writing, editing and placing op-eds, pitching the Roundtable’s work, fielding inquiries from reporters, preparing talking points for media and speaking engagements and training spokespeople, among other things.
