JOB SUMMARY

Eastside Catholic School is seeking a part-time Multimedia Producer to join the Marketing and Communications team with a primary focus on athletics creative content. Reporting to the Director of Marketing and Communications, this hybrid role is ideal for a visually driven storyteller who values flexibility while remaining connected to the school community through regular on-campus collaboration and athletic event coverage.

This position is well-suited for freelance designer, graduate student, recent college graduate, athletics content creator, coach, photographer or marketing professional seeking a flexible hybrid schedule.

The Multimedia Producer will play a key role in elevating the visibility of Eastside Catholic Athletics through the creation of gameday graphics, score updates, postseason content, student-athlete recognition and other engaging social media content.
