Communications Manager

Position Description

603 Legal Aid (603LA) and New Hampshire Legal Assistance (NHLA), two highly regarded nonprofits that collaborate closely to provide civil legal aid to people with low income in New Hampshire, seek a Communications Manager for the Campaign for Legal Services (“the Campaign”). 603LA and NHLA fundraise together through the Campaign.

As the Communications Manager, you will help raise both money and awareness by supporting fundraising communications that engage donors, educate the public, and expand the Campaign’s reach. Working closely with the Campaign Director, this role focuses on marketing, fundraising products and engagement opportunities, growing and activating audiences across digital channels, and telling clear, compelling stories about the impact of civil legal aid in New Hampshire.

Your work ensures that 603LA and NHLA can most effectively reach our client communities, our donors, and the public through traditional and new media.

This position may be fully remote or hybrid and is based in the Concord, NH offices of 603LA and NHLA, with regular local travel around New Hampshire. If hybrid, at present, both organizations allow employees to elect to work on a remote basis two days a week after an initial training period, provided all responsibilities may be successfully performed on a remote basis.

603LA and NHLA will provide you with the equipment and supplies necessary for remote work from your home as needed. The remote work must be performed in New Hampshire, unless you have obtained permission to work out of state. For this role, if hybrid, we expect in‑office time to be split 50/50 between the 603LA and NHLA offices. The Communications Manager will report to the Campaign Director and will regularly work with staff from both 603LA and NHLA.

NHLA and 603LA are Equal Opportunity Employers.
