Director of Marketing & Communications

About TEAO Canada

Trauma and Embodiment Association of Ontario (TEAO Canada) is working to transform mental health care in Canada by reducing stigma, strengthening community-based support, and addressing gaps within existing systems.

Our long-term vision is the Trauma Health & Embodiment Centre (THEC) — Canada's first integrated trauma-responsive, body-centered mental health and community care centre, bringing together clinical care, community programming, education, research, leadership development, and systems transformation.

About the Role

We are seeking a Director of Marketing & Communications to join our volunteer Board of Directors and provide strategic, governance-level leadership in shaping TEAO Canada's public presence, communications, and organizational storytelling.

This role focuses on strategy, oversight, mentorship, and guidance rather than managing all communications directly. The Director will work alongside the Founder, CEO & Chair, Board members, and volunteer communications teams to ensure TEAO's public presence is consistent, accessible, engaging, and aligned with our mission, vision, and values.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide strategic oversight of marketing, communications, and brand development.
• Guide TEAO Canada's communications and marketing strategy.
• Support organizational storytelling that highlights our programs, partnerships, impact, and community initiatives.
• Provide governance oversight to volunteer teams working in social media, content creation, newsletters, and communications.
• Support public awareness campaigns, fundraising communications, sponsorship recognition, and organizational visibility.
• Advise the Board on brand positioning, communications strategy, media opportunities, and public engagement.
• Collaborate with leadership and volunteer teams to strengthen TEAO Canada's digital and public presence.
• Support communications planning for events, campaigns, partnerships, and educational programming.
• Mentor and guide volunteer communications leads as the organization grows.

Portfolio Areas

The Director's portfolio may include:

Brand Development | Marketing Strategy | Communications | Storytelling | Digital Communications | Campaigns | Public Awareness | Fundraising Communications | Organizational Visibility | Volunteer Leadership

Who We're Looking For

We welcome individuals with experience or knowledge in:

• Marketing and communications
• Public relations
• Brand development
• Social media and digital communications
• Content strategy and storytelling
• Campaign development
• Media relations
• Nonprofit or community communications
• Strategic communications

Experience in a nonprofit or mission-driven organization is an asset but not required.

We are looking for someone who brings strong strategic thinking, creativity, collaboration, communication, and a commitment to community-centered work.

Why Join TEAO Canada?

This is an opportunity to help shape the communications and public identity of a growing organization while contributing to TEAO Canada's long-term vision for THEC.

As Director of Marketing & Communications, you will help shape how TEAO communicates its mission, tells its story, builds awareness, and connects with communities, organizations, and systems.

This is a volunteer Board position.
