Reporting to the Director of Marketing, this role photographs and films the full portfolio of communities, produces social and digital content, and manages distribution across owned and local channels — turning authentic resident life into stories that drive occupancy, referral relationships, and brand reputation for both individual communities and the corporate brand. This is a hands-on, high-impact production role. The Multimedia Manager works from a dedicated multimedia office with professional photography, video, and 3D capture equipment, holds a clear creative mandate, and has direct, measurable influence on lead volume, tour conversion, and census growth across the organization. The role balances creative craft with operational discipline: shoots are planned around community operations, assets are organized so any community or regional leader can find and use them, and every piece of content is captured and published within Milestone's consent, privacy, and brand standards. The Multimedia Manager exemplifies Milestone's three core values — Compassion, Innovation, and Accountability — in every interaction with residents, families, Team Members, vendors, and prospective residents. Working in occupied senior living communities requires a person who earns trust before raising a camera, honors dignity and privacy without exception, and treats residents as people first and subjects second. Our Core Values in Practice Core Value How It Shows Up in This Role Compassion We lead with empathy and genuine care. The Multimedia Manager earns trust before capturing a moment, asks permission every time, honors resident dignity and the right to decline, and represents aging with warmth and respect rather than stereotype. Innovation We seek better ways to tell our story. The Multimedia Manager tests new formats, platforms, and capture techniques — short-form video, 3D tours, resident-voiced storytelling — and uses performance data to invest effort where it moves occupancy. Accountability We own our outcomes. The Multimedia Manager delivers on committed timelines, maintains an organized and audit-ready asset library with signed media releases on file, reports content performance honestly, and protects the brand in every published piece. Reporting Relationship & Scope of Authority The Multimedia Manager reports directly to the Director of Marketing and works in close partnership with National Director of Resident Transitions, and community Executive Directors.
