External Communications Manager
Organization: VisionSpring
Closing date: 2 Mar 2026
Location: Northeastern USA, or Washington D.C. Metro Area
This is a global, remote role that will require in-person visits to New York City
Are you ready to craft strategic communications that fuel fundraising for clear vision globally?
VisionSpring seeks a collaborative, strategic, creative External Communications Manager to elevate our engagement with philanthropic funders, institutional partners, and visionary donors. Your storytelling will help deepen relationships and unlock the resources that bring eyeglasses to millions of people vulnerable to poverty.
You will serve as the central architect of donor-facing communications: reports, case studies, donor updates, white papers, research summaries, talking points, presentations, event messaging, and stewardship materials. You will package data, evidence, and field insights into compelling narratives that are precise, emotionally resonant, and tailored to diverse donor audiences.
Working closely with colleagues across Programs, Monitoring & Evaluation, Resource Mobilization, Marketing, and country teams, you will build a donor communications ecosystem that is structured, repeatable, and deeply human.
This role is ideal for someone who loves shaping meaning — who can see the story inside the data, the human impact behind the outcome, and the strategic opportunity inside a donor conversation.
ABOUT YOU
You are emotionally intuitive and passionate about crafting sophisticated, high-quality narratives that help donors feel the impact of their investment and see the possibility of deeper partnership.
You combine editorial excellence with strategic thinking. You can understand a donor’s motivations, distill complex program information, and translate field realities into polished, donor-ready communications.
You excel at working across functions — from programs to finance to fundraising — and you enjoy bringing clarity, structure, and cohesion to multi-stakeholder projects.
You are energized by iterative collaboration with global team members, and you are known for being reliable, diplomatic, deadline-driven, and deeply curious about the lived experiences of the communities we serve.
You believe in the power of clear vision, and you are excited to help share proof of the life-changing impact of eyeglasses with donors who want to drive meaningful change.
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.
We provide sight tests and deliver radically affordable eyeglasses and develop markets in places where traditional optical systems have failed.
We serve low-income consumers not as beneficiaries, but as customers. And we blend social impact with business discipline — using evidence and efficiency metrics to reach more people every year.
We catalyze collaborative action through a global partner network and leverage research findings to influence systems change and close the clear vision gap.
We are a lean, global team of doers. You will have the opportunity to take on significant responsibilities and directly contribute to our mission.

Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) is implementing the EU Support for the Protection of Forests and Biodiversity in Cross River State (PROFAB) project in 85 communities across 3 major protected areas in Cross River State.

Part of the project implementation is to upgrade the existing Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool (METT) to the Integrated Management Effectiveness Tool (IMET) which is a Protected Area Management Effectiveness (PAME) tool that allows an in-depth assessment of protected areas and helps protected area managers take analysis-based management decisions for improved conservation outcomes. As such, we are engaging an IMET Coach to help us establish an IMET baseline for each protected area during Y1, against which we will repeat the scores at the end of the project in Y4 to measure the project’s impact.

Specific objectives are to:

Facilitate participatory stakeholder consultations with government agencies, communities, and partners related to the management of each of the 3 protected areas.

Review existing documents including management plans, annual work plans, patrol data (SMART), budgets, biodiversity monitoring data, and legal frameworks.
Facilitate IMET workshops with protected area managers, rangers and field staff, local communities, government stakeholders and conservation partners.
Carry out IMET scoring sessions in line with the tool’s methodology.
