GENERAL SUMMARY

Cape Abilities is seeking a part-time Marketing & Communications Associate to provide coverage during a planned staff leave. This is a role for a creative, visually oriented communicator who can step in quickly, learn our brand and voice, and keep our social media presence strong while our Marketing & Communications Manager is on leave. The core of this role is content creation: social media graphics, photography, and copy that capture the energy and mission of Cape Abilities, Cape Abilities Farm, and Cape Abilities Thrift. The right candidate has a good eye, experience working in a self-directed way, and a proven ability to make compelling content for social media. This role includes regular on-site time at Cape Abilities' locations — the Lyndon Center in Hyannis, the Farm in Dennis, and the Thrift Store in West Yarmouth — to capture photos and video for use across our channels. That presence in our spaces is important to telling compelling stories about our mission and impact. There is potential for this position to continue beyond the initial three months. Cape Abilities is exploring whether dedicated content creation and production support (photography, graphics, and social media) could benefit our team in the longer term. If that direction fits your interests, we'd love to hear about it.
