Director of Communications and Editorial

Los Angeles, CA, where IDA works on a hybrid schedule
Deadline

December 9, 2026
The Director of Communications and Editorial leads IDA’s communications, marketing, and press. The Director manages Documentary magazine, which is editorially independent, and the team that delivers the IDA Documentary Awards and IDA’s screenings and public events, and is the editor of IDA’s institutional content. Together, these are how IDA reaches documentary makers, the wider field, and the public, and how it speaks for documentary makers when they need it, including in rapid response when filmmakers are under threat. The Director sets strategy for communications, marketing, and press, within the external affairs strategy led by the Deputy Executive Director, and is accountable across all of this work for its quality, consistency, and reach. Through communications, the magazine, the Awards, and IDA’s programs, the role also contributes to IDA’s goal of growing its membership.
