Communications Manager
Albuquerque, New Mexico
October 12th, 2026
Employer: Cottonwood Gulch Expeditions
Location: Our primary office is in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This role is office-anchored, following CGE's standard hybrid work norm, with field time on treks throughout the year to support content capture, storyteller direction, and recruiting.
Status: Full-time permanent
Application Deadline: 10/26/2026
This is a permanent, full-time, salaried (exempt) position. The salary range is $45,000 to $55,000 depending on experience, plus benefits that include 100% health insurance, retirement match up to 5%, and generous PTO. In addition to base pay, this role is eligible for a performance bonus of up to $5,000, split between new trekker and new school partner acquisition.
Cottonwood Gulch is hiring a full-time Communications Manager to bring more trekkers, donors, and school partners to CGE while keeping our existing community engaged. The role leads CGE's public channels, brand and asset management, and recruiting through public channels, working closely with the Enrollment Coordinator and Program Directors. The role runs on a system: a seasonal brief with set priorities and metrics, a single request queue, and measurement on outcomes like new trekkers and school partners rather than volume of output. Field time on treks, including overnights at Basecamp or in the field, is part of the job.
