  • Providing general administrative and project support across editorial and marketing efforts as needed

Requirements, minimum education level, and experience:

  • Candidates' studies should be focused in English, marketing, communications, graphic design or a related field
  • Experience creating social media content in Canva and a strong understanding of current platform trends, best practices, and content formats
  • Experience with the Microsoft Suite and other file management platforms, namely Outlook, calendar, SharePoint, and Dropbox

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:

  • Long periods of sitting
  • Repetitive wrist, hand, and finger movement (while operating a computer)
  • Occasional bending, stooping, and lifting (15-30 pounds)
