Are you a creative storyteller, strategic thinker, and dynamic leader passionate about community connection? Do you believe in the power of libraries to be community hubs, cultural beacons, and engines for lifelong learning? If so, we want you to help us craft and guide an engagement strategy that positions the Library as a vital resource for generations to come-as our next Community Engagement Manager.

About the Role

Reporting to the Director, the Community Engagement Manager is a key leadership role responsible for elevating the Library's visibility, deepening community connections, and amplifying our story across multiple platforms. You'll shape and execute strategic marketing and communications efforts, oversee an energetic and talented team, and serve as the Library's liaison to media, partners, and the public. This is your opportunity to shape how our Library is seen, heard, and experienced by the community-both in-person and online.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead, mentor, and manage the Community Engagement team with vision and support.
  • Create and implement dynamic marketing, PR, and communications strategies.
  • Oversee all promotional content-from press releases and newsletters to eye-catching graphics, social media, and website content.
  • Build and nurture strategic partnerships with community organizations, government agencies, and local media.
  • Serve as the Library's public spokesperson and trusted media contact, including crisis management communications.
  • Prepares talking points and internal messaging to support staff communication around new services, changes, or emerging issues.
  • Collaborate with departments system-wide to support programs, events, and initiatives.
  • Guide the department budget and ensure efficient operations and resource use.
  • Stay ahead of trends in communications, marketing, and public library services.

What You Bring

  • Bachelor's degree in Marketing, PR, Communications, or related field.
  • 2-3+ years of supervisory experience with proven leadership skills.
  • Exceptional writing, public speaking, and interpersonal skills.
  • A strategic mindset with a passion for storytelling and brand-building.
  • Tech-savvy with hands-on experience in social media, graphic design, website management (Wix or similar), Adobe Creative Suite, video editing (iMovie or similar), and Microsoft Office.
  • PRSA certification and knowledge of library operations are a plus.
  • Flexibility to work occasional evenings, weekends, and special events.

Why Work With Us?

  • Join a mission-driven team that values innovation, inclusivity, and community.
  • Enjoy a creative, collaborative environment where your ideas truly matter.
  • Help shape the public narrative of a trusted, evolving community resource.
  • Make a real difference in how people connect, learn, and grow.

Ready to Engage?

If you're ready to be the voice and vision behind an essential public institution, we'd love to hear from you! Apply today with your resume AND cover letter and help us tell the story of a Library that transforms lives.
