603 Legal Aid (603LA) and New Hampshire Legal Assistance (NHLA), two highly regarded nonprofits that collaborate closely to provide civil legal aid to people with low income in New Hampshire, seek a Communications Manager for the Campaign for Legal Services (“the Campaign”). 603LA and NHLA fundraise together through the Campaign.
As the Communications Manager, you will help raise both money and awareness by supporting fundraising communications that engage donors, educate the public, and expand the Campaign’s reach. Working closely with the Campaign Director, this role focuses on marketing, fundraising products and engagement opportunities, growing and activating audiences across digital channels, and telling clear, compelling stories about the impact of civil legal aid in New Hampshire. Your work ensures that 603LA and NHLA can most effectively reach our client communities, our donors, and the public through traditional and new media.
This position may be fully remote or hybrid and based in the Concord, NH offices of 603LA and NHLA, with regular local travel around New Hampshire. If hybrid, at present, both organizations allow employees to elect to work on a remote basis two days a week after an initial training period, provided all responsibilities may be successfully performed on a remote basis. 603LA and NHLA will provide you with the equipment and supplies necessary for remote work from your home as needed. The remote work must be performed in New Hampshire, unless you have obtained permission to work out of state. For this role, if hybrid, we expect in-office time to be split 50/50 between the 603LA and NHLA offices. The Communications Manager will report to the Campaign Director and will regularly work with staff from both 603LA and NHLA.

Application Process and Timeline:
603LA and NHLA will jointly review applications. We anticipate beginning the process with an initial screening conversation, followed by at two rounds of interviews for selected candidates. Interviews are typically held on weekdays between 9 AM and 5 PM, though we are happy to accommodate other scheduling needs when possible.
Candidates invited to a first-round interview will receive a brief overview of what to expect in advance, including a list of questions that will be asked. The conversation will include time for candidates to ask their own questions. For applicants who speak a language in addition to English, a portion of an interview may be conducted in that language, with interpretation provided as needed.
Finalists moving forward to a subsequent interview round will meet with selected staff in person. Because these conversations are more free-flowing, questions are not provided ahead of time. We will reserve time at the conclusion for candidate questions.
After interviews, we may ask finalist candidates to provide references and up to 12 pages of writing and/or graphic design samples that demonstrate communications experience—ideally including materials connected to fundraising or public engagement. We will contact references promptly and ask consistent questions of each. Candidates with disabilities who wish to request reasonable accommodations, should they be offered the position, are welcome to do so in writing at this stage.
At the conclusion of the process, we will extend an offer to one candidate that includes specific salary and benefits information. (We understand these details are important and welcome questions about compensation at any time.) Offers are contingent on completion of a criminal background check; however, not all criminal records are disqualifying.
Once a candidate has accepted the position, we will notify all interviewed candidates who were not selected. Please note that 603LA and NHLA do not expect thank-you notes and do not consider them in hiring decisions.
