Creative Positions Jobs in Logan, UT (NOW HIRING)

Overview
Working within Advancement's Strategic Communications team, the Creative Services Coordinator (Marketer I) is tasked with a diverse set of responsibilities, so the person in this role needs to be flexible and proactive with a well-rounded set of communications and organizational skills. This position works closely with the entire University Advancement and Alumni Engagement team in elevating Utah State University through philanthropy and engagement.
Our creative projects include a myriad of printed pieces and digital assets, so the coordinator should be well versed in the requirements of each medium and possess the following competencies:

• Highly organized: You're able to keep track of multiple projects and can easily piece together disparate information and move between duties without missing a beat.
• Impeccable time management: You can keep projects moving without getting bogged down by details and easily manage the amount of time it takes to complete them.
• Keen eye for detail: You are good at catching errors and correctly filling in missing information.
• Strategic mindset: You are a problem solver who understands that the why, who, what, where, when, and how of each project take precedence.
• Project manager and doer: You can own the management of creative team projects and understand each project enough to step in and help do the work to get them across the finish line.
• Continuous self-improvement: You're a thoughtful and creative team member who does not take shortcuts or make excuses.
• Respectful and focused: Treat clients respectfully and keep them focused on providing essential contents.

We are a team of proactive and problem-solving strategic communications professionals looking for someone who can match our level of excellence. This role does not have a set process to follow or a list of tasks to check off each day, so it requires someone who is reliable and communicative, and takes the initiative to do the work without prompting. Strong decision-making, people skills, flexibility, and the acumen to prioritize work are essential to this position.
We need someone who understands why we do the work that we do and can make sure that purpose is clear throughout every piece of communication we produce.
