About Islamic Relief USA

Islamic Relief USA (IRUSA) is a faith-inspired humanitarian and development organization committed to saving lives and empowering communities around the world. With programs spanning emergency response, food security, education, clean water, and more, IRUSA reaches millions of people annually across dozens of countries. Headquartered in the Washington, D.C. area, IRUSA operates a full-scale marketing and communications department that drives donor engagement, brand stewardship, and multi-channel fundraising across the organization's entire portfolio.

Role Overview

The Director of Marketing provides executive-level leadership for IRUSA's marketing department, overseeing the full spectrum of the organization's brand, fundraising, content, digital, and communications functions. The Director will serve as the primary point of contact, manager, and liaison, overseeing the relationship between the organization and its external outsourced partners. This is a senior leadership role with significant cross-departmental influence and organizational authority. The Director is a voting member of the Program Approval Committee (PAC) on behalf of Marketing, sits on the Executive Committee, and represents Marketing's strategic perspective across organizational planning and decision-making bodies. In this role, the Director leads and coordinates strategy across internal teams and external partners — including marketing service providers and technology vendors — ensuring that IRUSA's brand voice, mission alignment, and donor relationship priorities are upheld across every channel and deliverable. This is not a purely executional role; the Director is expected to bring institutional vision, relational intelligence, and senior-level judgment to every dimension of the department's work.

Key Responsibilities:

Strategic Leadership & Organizational Representation

  • Serve as Marketing's representative on the Executive Committee and other senior decision-making bodies, including casting votes on behalf of the department for Program Approval Committee approvals of humanitarian programs.
  • Lead Marketing's participation in organizational and operational planning cycles, working collaboratively across departments including Fund Development, Department of External Affairs (DEA), Programs, Finance, IT, and Volunteer Management.
  • Chair, co-chair, or participate in cross-departmental committees and task forces as assigned, both representing Marketing's interests and contributing specialized strategic expertise to organization-wide initiatives.
  • Set the department's strategic priorities on a rolling basis, including annual campaign calendars, budget cycles, and team performance objectives.

Multi-Channel Fundraising & Campaign Oversight

  • Lead the strategic planning, production oversight, and post-mortem analysis of all major fundraising campaigns — including Ramadan, Qurbani, End of Year, and emergency response campaigns — across digital and direct channels.
  • Drive fundraising appeal strategy across email, SMS, web, social media, direct mail, and advertising, both within larger campaign structures and as standalone digital initiatives.
  • Oversee emergency campaign launch protocols, working in coordination with Program Directors and the C-suite to activate multi-channel emergency responses rapidly and effectively.
  • Ensure donor management platforms, fundraising infrastructure, and CRM systems are leveraged optimally in service of donor acquisition, retention, and re-engagement goals.

Digital & Content Operations

  • Provide strategic oversight of IRUSA's digital ecosystem, including the main website, donation infrastructure, social media presence, email and SMS programs, paid advertising, and search strategy.
  • Guide the organization's data and analytics practice — ensuring marketing performance is accurately measured, reported, and used to optimize future efforts across web analytics, donor management, and attribution platforms.
  • Champion marketing automation, audience segmentation, and CRM-integrated campaign workflows as tools for donor lifecycle management.

Budget & Technology

  • Own the Marketing department's full budget, including oversight of print, postage, promotional items, software subscriptions, and service partner fees — ensuring responsible stewardship of organizational resources.
  • Lead or participate in technology stack evaluation, procurement, and implementation decisions, collaborating with IT on integrations and platform governance.
  • Maintain awareness of industry best practices across channels — email, social, advertising, web, automation, and brand awareness — continuously evaluating opportunities for experimentation and adoption.

Team Development & AI Upskilling

  • Spearhead the department's continuous professional development efforts, focusing on emerging marketing technologies and best practices, including the ethical and strategic application of generative AI, predictive analytics, and marketing automation tools within the humanitarian context (or sector).
  • Identify key skills gaps within the team related to digital transformation and AI adoption, and develop training roadmaps and resources to address these needs.
  • Foster a culture of experimentation and data-driven learning, ensuring the marketing team remains at the forefront of technological innovation while upholding brand integrity and organizational values.

Publications, Events & Promotional Materials

  • Oversee the production of organizational publications including the Annual Report, Partnership Magazine, donor reports, and campaign collateral, in collaboration with the External Affairs communications team.
  • Ensure all promotional and branded materials — including apparel, event collateral, and visibility items distributed to partners as well as US and International programs — reflect current brand standards.
  • Support event marketing for major organizational milestones, including interfaith events, community programs, and national campaigns.

Vendor Relationships & External Partner Coordination

  • Serve as IRUSA's primary strategic lead in coordinating with external marketing partners and service providers, setting direction, approving deliverables, and managing escalations.
  • Review and approve all major creative, content, and campaign outputs — including brand assets, advertising campaigns, email communications, social media strategy, and web presence.
  • Ensure all external partner deliverables reflect IRUSA's organizational values, brand standards, and mission-driven voice.
  • Manage relationships with technology vendors and platform providers across the marketing technology stack, in coordination with IT as needed.

Brand Stewardship

  • Serve as the ultimate custodian of IRUSA's organizational brand identity and reputation, ensuring consistency across all channels and all organizational microbrands (e.g., iRaise, Grand Iftar, Medical Missions).
  • Ensure brand guidelines, visual identity systems, and tone-of-voice standards are maintained, documented, and communicated across internal stakeholders and external partners.
  • Oversee the development and refinement of taglines, logos, color palettes, photo and story procurement frameworks, and cross-channel content strategies.

Core Competencies:

Strategic Vision Translates mission into actionable, measurable marketing strategy. Organizational Influence Operates effectively at the executive level with credibility and clarity. Relational Intelligence Builds trust with internal stakeholders, vendors, and donors. Brand Custodianship Guards organizational identity with rigor, consistency, and sensitivity. Data-Driven Decisions Uses analytics and performance data to optimize strategy and spend. Adaptive Leadership Navigates change, ambiguity, and urgency — including emergency campaigns — with composure. Islamic Relief USA is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive team that reflects the communities we serve. At Islamic Relief USA we are committed to safeguarding and protecting all individuals we come into contact with through our work. IRUSA representatives must adhere to its organizational values: Sincerity, Excellence, Compassion, Social Justice, and Custodianship. In accordance with these values, IRUSA operates and enforces policies on Safeguarding, Code of Ethics, and Anti-Harassment and Discrimination.

Exprerience Details

Required

  • 10+ years of progressive marketing leadership experience, with at least 3 years at the director level or equivalent.

About Us

Established over fifty years ago, the Mid-Hudson Islamic Association (MHIA) is one of the Hudson Valley's most enduring Muslim institutions. What began as a small circle of families gathering in private homes has grown into a thriving community anchored by Masjid Al-Noor, the Jamia Masjid of the Hudson Valley, and Al-Noor Islamic School, which has served over a thousand Muslim children for the past three decades. Masjid Al-Noor sits on over 20 acres in Wappingers Falls, New York, a historic and well-connected village in southern Dutchess County that offers an exceptional quality of life and community depth just 70 miles north of New York City. MHIA is community-governed, led by an elected Board of Trustees and Executive Committee. Programming is grounded in Qur'an and Sunnah across worship, education, youth development, new Muslim support, and interfaith engagement. This position has been created as part of a sustained institutional investment in religious education at Masjid Al-Noor, and we are seeking a religious leader of vision and substance to help build what comes next.

Position Overview

This is a new position created as a direct investment in MHIA’s educational and spiritual future. The Islamic Educator & Associate Imam will serve as the primary engine of religious education at Masjid Al-Noor by building programs, shaping curriculum, and forming the next generation of Muslims in the Hudson Valley while also sharing in the full religious life of the masjid alongside an existing imam. This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of a growing, diverse Masjid by leading not just in scholarship and prayer, but in building the next generation of Muslim leaders. The Islamic Educator & Associate Imam will work closely with MHIA’s institutional leadership, contributing to the broader vision of Masjid Al-Noor as a full-service Muslim institution for the Hudson Valley. The ideal candidate is someone whose deep grounding in Qur'an and Hadith is matched by a genuine love for people, community, and educating people about the Islamic faith. This role calls for a gifted communicator and a dedicated educator who sees the Masjid and the Hudson Valley as his future home … one who is ready to put down roots, invest in the community's long-term vision, and grow alongside the families he serves.

Key Responsibilities

Islamic Education (Primary Focus) •     Design and implement a structured Islamic education program serving all community members-children, youth and adults- with defined curricula, learning objectives and measurable outcomes. •     Develop and oversee Sunday school curriculum in collaboration with the Al-Noor Islamic School principal. •     Conduct a minimum of 8 structured teaching hours per week, covering Quran recitation and memorization, Fiqh, Seerah, Aqeedah and Islamic history. •     Lead adult learning programs including weekly halaqas, tafsir study circles, and facilitated Q&A sessions, with a commitment to building a sustained adult education track beyond informal gatherings. •     Develop and run youth programs, including Quran classes, summer intensives and family learning nights; provide consistent mentorship to youth and young adults. •     Organize monthly seminars in collaboration with local and visiting scholars. •     Work with MHIA leadership towards the long-term goal of establishing a full-time Hifz program at Masjid Al-Noor. Prayer & Religious Services (In conjunction with Primary Imam) •     Share responsibility for leading the five daily prayers on a coordinated schedule with the primary imam. •     Lead the Friday Jumu’ah independently – including khutbah, first and second jama’ah- on a regular rotating basis and serve as the sole officiant whenever the primary imam is unavailable. •     Lead Taraweeh prayers during Ramadan; lead or co-lead Eid prayers and khutbahs as assigned. •     Officiate Nikah ceremonies and provide premarital counseling. •     Support families through Janazah prayers, funeral logistics and bereavement guidance. •     Guide new Muslims through shahada and sustained spiritual development. •     Respond to religious inquiries with scholarly grounding and cultural sensitivity. Pastoral Care & Counseling (In conjunction with Primary Imam) •     Provide individual, family, and marital counseling with appropriate confidentiality and professionalism. •     Serve as an accessible point of contact for community members navigating personal, spiritual, or family challenges. •     Offer conflict mediation within the community. •     Maintain regular, consistent office hours for community consultation. Community & Outreach (In conjunction with Primary Imam) •     Represent Masjid Al-Noor at interfaith events and civic engagements across the Hudson Valley. •     Partner with MHIA’s Youth Committee and standing committees on programming and leadership development. •     Support Ramadan programming, community iftars, and social service initiatives. •     Contribute to the masjid’s public presence through da’wah, open mosque events and digital outreach. •     Assist with community fundraising efforts and help communicate MHIA’s vision to donors. Administration (In conjunction with Primary Imam) •     Maintain records for Nikah, Janazah, conversions, and counseling sessions. •     Submit monthly reports to the Executive Committee on programs and community engagement. •     Collaborate with MHIA committees across programming, events, and institutional planning. •     Assist with masjid stewardship and operational readiness as needed.

This is a full-time position. The Islamic Educator & Associate Imam is expected to maintain a consistent, visible presence at Masjid Al-Noor across the week for classes, office hours, prayers, and community availability. Evening and weekend availability is required by the nature of the role. MHIA’s leadership understands that sustained, excellent service requires sustainable rhythms. Masjid leadership is committed to working collaboratively with the incoming candidate to structure his week in a way that honors both the community’s needs and his personal and family wellbeing.
