We strongly encourage people of color, transgender and non-binary people to apply. HRC is an equal opportunity employer and welcomes everyone, including non-LGBTQ+ people, to join our team.

Don’t meet every single requirement? Studies have shown that people from marginalized communities are less likely to apply for jobs unless they meet every single qualification. At HRC, we are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.

Position Description

The Director of Strategic Communications & Creative Partnerships, within the Office of the President, plays a critical role in advancing the Human Rights Campaign’s mission by building and managing high-impact relationships across entertainment, media, advocacy, and philanthropy — with a strong emphasis on trusted, authentic relationships within the LGBTQ+ creative and cultural community.

Reporting to the Vice President of Executive Communications, the Director combines strategic communications, talent relations, and creative partnership development to amplify HRC’s brand and cultural footprint, leverage the President’s network for organizational priorities, and deepen engagement with creators, influencers, and thought leaders who shape public understanding of equality.

This leader will oversee the President’s correspondence and surrogate engagement program, serve as a primary liaison to creative and industry partners, and collaborate across teams — including Brand, Development/Fundraising, Digital, and Communications — to bring HRC’s stories and priorities to new audiences.

A successful candidate must live in Washington DC, New York City or Los Angeles. If the candidate chosen is not based in Washington DC, there will be an expectation they will be open to travel to Washington DC on a consistent basis for monthly and/or other needed meetings.

Position Responsibilities:

Executive Partnerships & Talent Relations

Cultivate and steward relationships with LGBTQ+ talent, agents, publicists, and creative industry leaders, maintaining a strategic database of contacts and partnership opportunities.

Executive Communications & Messaging

Partner with the Executive Communications team to ensure HRC’s leadership has unified, mission-driven messaging across all platforms.
Support the development of key remarks, correspondence, and briefing materials for the President’s engagements and collaborations.
Contribute to organizational narrative strategy and help ensure creative partnerships reinforce HRC’s advocacy priorities and values.
Collaborate with development, communications and digital teams to elevate HRC’s message through cultural moments, press opportunities, and creative Activations.
Support the correspondence program within the Office of the President, ensuring communication with key stakeholders and partners reflects the President’s priorities and HRC’s values.

Position Qualifications:

All positions at the Human Rights Campaign may require travel on a regular basis or periodically. Where the need arises for business travel, appropriate compensation as outlined by the Fair Labor Standards Act will apply.

Employer is the Human Rights Campaign, Inc., an I.R.C. 501(c)(4) non-profit entity.
