Firm is seeking an experienced Social Media / Digital Communications professional to support the firm’s day-to-day social media, digital content, and broader communications initiatives.
The role will work closely with the Social Media Manager and other members of the Marketing and Communications team to support content development, social media operations, analytics, website updates, and special communications projects. The ideal candidate will be a strong writer and editor who is detail-oriented, proactive, highly organized, and comfortable working in a fast-paced professional-services environment with sophisticated internal stakeholders.
This position is structured initially as a three to six month contract engagement, with the possibility of additional three-month extensions based on performance, business needs, and continued team demand.
