CREATIVE COMMUNICATIONS COORDINATOR

Companions for Children has no shortage of stories to tell. What we need is someone with the creativity to spot them, the confidence to pitch an idea and the follow-through to turn that idea into finished content. Maybe you are always the person making the Reel, designing the invitation or running the group's social media. You are creative, but you are also organized. You think ahead, pay attention to details and get things done before they become last-minute emergencies. If that sounds like you, this might be your kind of job. This is a great opportunity for a college student who wants flexible, meaningful work while building a real-world portfolio. Your major does not need to be marketing or communications. You may also have a degree and professional experience, be returning to the workforce or be entirely self-taught. We welcome all of it. We're hiring the whole person: creativity, ambition, personality, reliability, results and the ability to finish what you start.
