Depave Outreach Manager

About the position: Depave’s Outreach Manager brings people together to celebrate the idea that pavement isn’t permanent, and together we have the power to re-green and transform our own neighborhoods.  The Outreach Manager is a storyteller, movement builder, and community ambassador who implements the communications and engagement aspects of Depave’s mission, vision, and strategic plan. They team up with Depave staff, board, partners, and volunteers to organize events across Portland communities impacted by urban heating and environmental injustice; tell inspiring, multimedia stories that share our projects; and empower the public with resources to grow the depave movement. The Outreach Manager plays a pivotal role engaging and facilitating volunteers in Depave’s work so that our relatively small organization continues to have an outsized impact.  We are looking for a highly organized team player and excellent communicator who enjoys crafting inspiring stories, is comfortable working outdoors, and who genuinely loves meeting and connecting with the public. Depave is excited to be undergoing a 6 month pro bono marketing update in 2026, which will give the Outreach Manager the opportunity to help shape the assets and narratives they use. Depave offers reasonable flexibility with hours and work from home, with the expectation of weekly in-office meeting times. Depave is a place-based organization and this position is rooted in the neighborhoods of Portland, Oregon. We strongly encourage applications from people of color, people from working-class backgrounds, women, LGBTQIA+ people, and members of other marginalized communities.
