Managing Director of Impact Media

We're looking for a dynamic, social-first, strategic media leader who is excited to transform ParentsTogether’s mission into multi-format, cross-platform content that reaches parents at scale. The ideal candidate is entrepreneurial with a growth mindset, having equal strengths in storytelling and content production, along with the operational rigor to manage high-performing teams. The Managing Director of Impact Media will combine a passion for kids and families with the expertise to lead a team in creating and distributing compelling content that is topical and culturally fluent. Our mission is to reach people who scroll past traditional news media with issue-driven content that speaks to their everyday parenting experiences and challenges. We’re looking for a people leader, someone who can teach, guide and create where no task is too small or too big. This role will report to the Executive Director, and work closely with the CEO of the for-profit ParentsTogether Holdings (anchored by the Motherly brand). This is a senior role for a builder who knows how to take an ambitious strategic direction and translate it into a roadmap, a high-performing team, and a media operation that consistently delivers results. We strongly encourage you to apply if this role and our mission sound interesting to you, even if you are not sure you meet all of the qualifications. We are interested in a wide variety of experiences and backgrounds. **ABOUT US** Founded in 2012, ParentsTogether is the largest mission-driven media organization serving parents in the United States. Through a growing network of media properties (including Motherly,) we reach approximately 32 million parents a year with trusted, emotionally resonant content that meets parents where they already spend their time – scrolling social feeds, watching vertical video, and building relationships with creators and influencers they trust. We are a multi-entity organization comprised of: - **ParentsTogether Foundation, a 501(c)(3)** that anchors our charitable mission and owns PT Holdings; - **ParentsTogether Action, a 501(c)(4)** that conducts advocacy and permissible lobbying; and - **PT Holdings, a for-profit C-corporation** that owns and operates Motherly and serves as the vehicle for building our multi-brand parent lifestyle media portfolio. ParentsTogether’s theory of change is rooted in the belief that to build a world where all kids and families can thrive, we must reach parents beyond the audiences typically engaged by issue-focused organizations. We produce content that takes on the forces shaping families' lives — the economy, healthcare, education, kids' safety, the policies and power structures behind it all — with the cultural fluency and craft to break through to parents who don't follow news or politics. We are not just talking to people who already agree with us; we are building a "bigger we." Bridging these efforts requires a team that can move fast, learn quickly, and operate across very different kinds of work — from shaping narratives to leveraging technology innovation. Our strategy framework is based on lean startup principles: we try out ideas quickly, see what works, and iterate. We work collaboratively to solve challenges together, and we drive impact on high-stakes issues in a positive, low-ego, low-drama work environment. As ParentsTogether has grown into a media network reaching tens of millions of parents, media and culture-shaping have become central to how we drive impact. The Managing Director of Impact Media will play a defining role in this next chapter, helping shape what mission-driven media at scale looks like in this moment. **ABOUT THE ROLE** The Managing Director of Impact Media leads the programmatic teams that fuel our impact media work (including content, production, narrative, and issue storytelling). The role is responsible for two interconnected jobs: **Translating strategic direction into a clear, executable roadmap.** Working with the…
