Overview

We’re currently seeking a highly motivated early-career professional to join us on our small but growing marketing team. We’re looking for an energetic, savvy, do-it-all comms and marketing guru who’s ready to dive in and help show the world how awesome VFA is.

You:

• Are a professional or recent grad with experience in communications, marketing, writing, social media, or related.
• A perfectionist who has next-level organizational skills and detail-orientation. Typos make you sick.
• Can prioritize and manage multiple tasks simultaneously. Feel there is no task too small.
• Not only have very strong writing skills, but you love doing it. Have the ability to produce compelling content quickly in the VFA brand voice, tell a story, and adapt your writing for different audiences.
• Have an eye for design, and strong skills in editing, proofreading, layout, and/or web publishing.
• Comfortable with social media and able to identify opportunities and channels for sharing content and engaging our audiences.
• Have good instincts. Only have to ask how to do something once (maybe twice).
• Have strong values alignment with VFA and our Team. Passionate about what VFA is doing and wants to share it with the world.
• Experience with design platforms, photo, and video editing is a huge plus.

What you’ll do:

• Work with different teams to create the high-quality content and materials each needs to accomplish its goals (including reports, press releases, blog posts, presentations, event messaging, e-mail campaigns, announcements and more).
• Design and update compelling collateral and materials for multiple departments (with a primary focus on Programs and Development).
• Manage VFA’s blog and social media presence (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Linkedin, and more) to amplify our message to the right audiences.
• Coordinate and execute PR/media initiatives.
• Produce and source content to tell the stories of our Fellows, companies, and cities.
• Be a gatekeeper and help ensure that everything VFA puts out there is on-brand and well-designed.
• Help with other comms and marketing initiatives as needed (website updates, e-mail marketing, and more).
• Create a system to keep VFA’s media organized. Occasionally capture photos or video footage at VFA events.

The good stuff:

• You’ll work in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same.
• We have fun, and laugh A LOT.
• High performers at VFA are given substantial opportunity to grow and develop.
• You’ll make a competitive salary.
• We have health, dental, and vision benefits.
• You’ll suddenly have less trouble getting out of bed and going to work in the morning.
