Communications Coordinator
MagnifyGood, a leading social sector communications firm, is looking for a smart, energetic, organized and highly motivated individual to join the team as a communications coordinator. It is the responsibility of the communications coordinator to help maximize all communication opportunities for MagnifyGood and its clients.
Generally speaking, you will provide any and all underlying support that will enhance communication strategy and increase the exposure and recognition of clients and of the agency. The successful candidate will be a Jack (or Jill) of the communication trade — part Shakespeare, grammar guru and AP-style whiz, and part researcher, relationship builder, marketer and social-media animal.
On a "normal day" you might work with the account lead on pitches and press releases, then switch gears to write and schedule blog posts. You will often find yourself on tight deadlines when a client calls out of the blue with an emergency that might force you to drop everything you are doing.
Most importantly, each and every day you will be challenged to be the best and do the best work because our clients deserve it and our reputation depends on it.
