Position Description
VIBE Arts is seeking a Marketing & Events Manager to lead our external presence and deepen relationships with
donors, partners, and the broader community. This is a mid-senior role with a broad mandate: shaping how VIBE
shows up in the world — through brand voice and content, the events we produce, and the quality of our donor
stewardship.
You are a skilled marketer and communicator who understands that in the nonprofit context, every touchpoint is
a relationship-building opportunity. You write with clarity and warmth, translate the depth of VIBE’s work into
stories that move people, and think strategically about events — not as logistics exercises, but as curated
experiences that cultivate genuine connection with our mission. You also see how all the pieces connect: how a
well-run event feeds your email list, how a nurture sequence converts a curious subscriber into a donor, and how
every activation grows the community around VIBE’s work.
This role works closely with the fundraising and program teams, with occasional oversight of contractors and
volunteers.

● Evaluate events against organizational goals and report outcomes to the Managing Director and

● Demonstrated experience producing events, from intimate cultivation gatherings to larger community

● Hands-on experience with paid digital advertising — Meta and Google Ads — including campaign

donation campaigns; comfort going well beyond boosting posts
● Experience building and optimizing email journeys, lead magnets, and nurture funnels that move
audiences from initial interest through to subscription and giving
