About Social Venture Network
Social Venture Network (SVN) is a community of business leaders using enterprise as a tool for systemic change. For nearly four decades, SVN has convened entrepreneurs, investors, and executives committed to building a just, regenerative, and human-centered economy. Our work centers on peer exchange, trust-based relationships, and collective action. We are looking for a communications leader who understands that storytelling is how movements scale.
Position Summary
SVN is hiring a Marketing & Community Engagement Coordinator to steward our communications as community infrastructure. This role sits at the intersection of storytelling, member activation, and network growth — translating real relationships, real work, and real conversations into clear, human communications.
The coordinator will help activate SVN’s members, affiliates, and board leaders as storytellers and ambassadors, steward SVN’s owned channels, and ensure our voice remains grounded, honest, and relational.
The right candidate understands that movements scale through people, not platforms — and sees communications as a tool for belonging, trust, and collective action.
This is a remote position with a candidate located in North America preferred.

Ideal Candidate Profile
You believe business should serve society. You enjoy connecting people and telling stories that bring communities to life. You are energized by mission-driven networks and comfortable working in an entrepreneurial organization where initiative matters more than hierarchy.
You are energized by mission-driven communities and know how to help people see themselves as part of something meaningful without forcing participation or polishing the edges off what’s real.
You have strong editorial instincts and good judgment. You are comfortable shaping content from accomplished leaders, board members, and peers while preserving their voice and intent.
You are naturally relational. You enjoy connecting dots between people, lifting up others’ work, and making it easy for busy leaders to participate as storytellers and ambassadors.
