We believe that marketing is more than messaging. It is a mission in motion. We are looking for a Marketing Director who sees possibilities where others see ambiguity, who thrives in fast-moving environments, and who brings a “can-do” spirit to every challenge. You will be the kind of person who:

• Sees opportunity in complexity and feels energized by solving problems with creativity and clarity
• Feels deeply aligned with our mission to improve health equity and access across Santa Clara County, and brings passion to every campaign, every message, and every moment
• Is self-directed and proactive, someone who takes initiative and drives projects forward without waiting for instructions
• Communicates with purpose, crafts compelling stories, and knows how to connect with diverse audiences and your team
• Works collaboratively while confidently making decisions and owning outcomes
• Brings a deep understanding of Santa Clara County’s cultural and political dynamics and can craft communications that resonate authentically across the region’s diverse communities

If you lead with optimism, execute with precision, and believe that marketing can change lives, this is your place.

The Marketing Director is responsible for developing and executing a comprehensive marketing and communications strategy that advances Valley Health Foundation’s mission and fundraising goals. This role requires a balance of strategic thinking and hands‑on execution, overseeing and implementing a wide range of marketing activities, including campaign development, donor communications, digital marketing, website content creation, branding, and collateral development. The Marketing Director will work closely with leadership, department teams, and external partners to ensure cohesive messaging and impactful marketing strategies.
