Senior Marketing Manager

Every entrepreneur we serve has a name, a family, and a dream. Mentors International exists to make that dream possible. We are a global nonprofit dedicated to empowering micro-entrepreneurs in low- and middle-income countries — pairing aspiring business owners with trained mentors and the financial tools they need to build something lasting. Operating across 30+ countries with 12 global offices, we served more than 43,000 families last year, and we're just getting started.

Mentors International is entering an exciting new chapter of growth — and we need a gifted storyteller and strategic marketer to help us tell our story to the world.

As Senior Marketing Manager, you will own the Mentors International brand across every channel: its voice, its visual presence, and the stories it tells. This is a hands-on, high-impact role at the intersection of mission and marketing. You'll play a central part in implementing a brand refresh — including new positioning and messaging, a flagship video, and a full website rebuild — while also running the day-to-day marketing that deepens donor relationships, expands our audience, and brings our global impact to life for a US-based donor community.

This is a remote, full-time position that may require occasional international travel. You will report to Mentors International's VP of Growth.

• Connected to the Mission: Something in your own life experience drives your passion for Mentors International’s mission and vision. You don't just market a cause — you believe in it.

• “Full-Stack” Marketer: You're equally comfortable setting strategy and writing the email yourself. You don't just design lifecycle campaigns — you craft the copy, pull the list, and check the metrics the next morning.

• Strong Storyteller: You can craft stories that inspire behavior change in others. You can take a raw testimonial from Peru and shape it into a story that moves a donor to give.

• Data-Informed Creative: You possess a strong grasp of effective creative work while also having the ability to accurately measure its impact.

• Organized & Proactive: You operate effectively and independently, manage competing priorities without dropping the ball, and bring structure to ambiguity.

• Visionary & Strategic Thinker: You are curious and challenge the status quo, thinking outside the box to meet the end goal.

• Meticulous & Precise: You understand that trust is built in the details. Whether it is verifying data in donor reports or proofreading a donor email, you sweat the small stuff because every external touchpoint reflects the organization's credibility.
