WE ARE LOOKING FOR:

Someone who is both creative and strategic — someone who instinctively understands the power of thoughtful communication. You care about clarity, tone, and visual coherence, and you approach storytelling with intention and heart. You’re comfortable working across platforms — from social media and newsletters to websites and written features — and you know how to adapt messaging for different audiences without losing authenticity. You’re organized, proactive, and able to manage multiple priorities, but you also know when to pause and ask the right questions. Most importantly, you bring a sense of purpose to your work and a genuine belief in using creativity to make an impact.
