Director of Marketing

About Better Angels

Los Angeles is facing an epidemic of homelessness. Despite billions of dollars approved by taxpayers to address the crisis over the last several years, the situation has further deteriorated. Government cannot handle this epidemic alone. Existing nonprofits, despite best intentions, have been too constrained to have the broad impact necessary to address the issue at scale. We believe that the time has come to rally the residents of LA to tackle homelessness head on. Better Angels will take a bold, holistic approach to confront the many aspects of this huge, complex, and seemingly intractable problem with particular focus on the following pillars: Prevention, Sanitation, Services, Shelter and Housing.

As our Director of Marketing, you will bring your creativity, experience and entrepreneurial thinking to drive impact. In addition to supporting Better Angels, you will oversee marketing for our sister nonprofit organizations, 1p.org and 97percent. 1P.org is a nonprofit focused on addressing some of the most intractable issues facing our one planet and 97percent is a nonprofit focused on reducing gun violence by bringing gun owners into the gun safety conversation.
