This position plays an essential role in promoting programs, events, and organizational initiatives while strengthening communication with members, volunteers, and the broader community. The coordinator works closely with the executive director and staff to support clear, engaging, and visually cohesive communications.

• Design flyers, brochures, handouts, and promotional materials for programs and events.
• Create visually engaging materials aligned with Newton at Home’s brand identity.

Social Media Management

• Manage Newton at Home’s social media accounts (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram).
• Create, schedule, and publish regular posts highlighting programs, events, impact stories, and updates.
• Monitor engagement and respond to comments or messages in a timely and professional manner.
• Collaborate with staff, volunteers, and board members to gather content, photos, and stories for social media use.
• Track basic engagement metrics and identify opportunities to improve reach and visibility.

Branding & Strategic Growth Support

• Collaborate with the Executive Director and staff to ensure consistent branding across digital and print materials.
• Support marketing initiatives and promotional campaigns as assigned.
• Contribute ideas for strengthening outreach and increasing organizational visibility.
• Assist in the development of expanded marketing strategies as the organization grows.

Communication, Responsiveness & Time Tracking

• Monitor and respond to email and internal communications in a timely and professional manner during working hours.
• Accurately track hours worked and tasks completed using organizational tools (e.g., weekly logs, project trackers, or timesheets).
• Maintain clear documentation of deadlines, project timelines, and deliverables.
• Provide regular updates on progress and workload during bi-weekly one-on-one meetings with the Executive Director.
• Ensure remote work time is structured, productive, and aligned with organizational goals.

Qualifications

• College degree or a minimum of one to two years of successful experience in marketing, communications, graphic design, or a related field preferred.
• Experience using MailChimp (strongly preferred).
• Proficiency in Canva (or similar software) required; experience with additional design software (e.g., Adobe Creative Suite) is a plus.
