Job Description

(Remote-flexible, with time zone accommodation for U.S. Eastern time)

Are you ready to use your digital communications expertise to amplify the impact of a pioneering social enterprise working to correct the vision of millions of low-income customers so they can work, learn, stay safe, and care for their families?

VisionSpring seeks an organized, analytically-minded, creative communications specialist to lead digital channel execution and audience engagement.

The Digital Communications Lead owns the day-to-day execution and optimization of all global digital platforms—website, social media, email newsletters, and donor engagement campaigns. This role combines strategic thinking about audience segments and message testing with hands-on execution : scheduling posts, updating web copy, managing analytics, and ensuring consistent brand voice across all online channels. You'll work with across global teams to disseminate content, evidence, and customer stories, measure what resonates, and continuously refine based on data.

The person in this role collaborates closely with internal stakeholders—including marketing, resource mobilization, programs, and the executive office—across eight countries : Bangladesh, Ghana, India, Kenya,  Nigeria, Uganda, Vietnam, and Zambia.  This position reports to the Global Senior Manager of Communications.

About You

  • You have strong project management and organizational skills, with extraordinary attention to detail. You manage multiple digital channels and campaigns simultaneously without losing quality or momentum.
  • You are data-driven. You understand what metrics matter (engagement, click-through, conversion, reach), routinely analyze performance, and optimize strategy based on what the data tells you. And you understand how to communicate this information broadly through dashboards and slide decks.
  • You are a clear, concise writer with an ear for brand voice. You can adapt style and messaging for different audiences—donors, customers, partners, media—while maintaining VisionSpring consistency.
  • You are proficient with technical tools. You've managed content management systems, email campaign platforms, social media scheduling tools, analytics dashboards (e.g., Google Analytics), and online design tools (e.g., Canva).
  • You are proactive and resourceful. When something isn't working, you problem-solve. When a campaign isn't resonating, you test alternatives. You don't wait for direction on optimization.
  • You enjoy working across time zones and cultures with a diverse team. You thrive in environments where priorities can shift and each day brings new challenges.
  • You are deeply curious about social enterprise models and genuinely interested in VisionSpring's mission. You care about the stories we tell and why they matter.
  • You demonstrate exceptional follow-through and personal accountability. You own your commitments and deliver what you promise.

About Us

  • VisionSpring increases lifelong earning, learning, safety, and well-being through eyeglasses for people vulnerable to poverty. We believe in the wonder of clear vision for everybody. Our vision is to ensure that everyone who needs eyeglasses will have them by 2050, and your role as a Senior Proposal Writer will be instrumental in achieving this inspiring goal.
  • We sell and deliver radically affordable optical products and services and develop markets for eyeglasses. This 700-year-old technology has failed to reach 1 billion people in need of vision correction, most of whom live on less than $4 a day.
  • We serve low-income consumers, not as beneficiaries but as customers. Our customers expect high-quality, affordable products and eyecare services, and are willing to spend their limited discretionary income on the immediate and tangible benefits of vision correction.
  • As a social enterprise, we are purpose first. We blend philanthropic and earned revenue, drawing on nonprofit and business practices, and utilize sales and efficiency metrics, as well as social impact measures, to bring vision correction to an ever-growing number of people.
  • We catalyze collaborative action in an expansive, multisector partner network and use our evidence and experience to influence systems change and close the global clear vision gap.
  • We believe in scaling our impact, not our organization. We are a lean team of doers, which means you'll have the opportunity to take on significant responsibilities and make a direct impact on our mission.
  • Our big goal : Everyone who needs eyeglasses will have them by 2050.
