Communications Coordinator opportunity now open!

I was talking with some of my peers about how things definitely seem to be picking up in terms of companies hiring. It's certainly true we have had more opportunities this year than in the last several and today I'm pleased to talk about another opening, this time in our Communications team. Kim, the hiring manager, is looking for an experienced Communications Coordinator to support our internal and external communications and public relations goals. This position assists in the development and execution of projects including newsletters, business proposals, brochures, website communications, internal communications and public relations programs.

Some of the core responsibilities for this position include coordinating sales proposals, coordinating the creation and updating of staff biographies, ensuring that online content is up-to-date, and supporting the communications specialists and other team members by writing and editing internal and external company communications. This position assists with the coordination of department projects including managing and negotiating with vendors, managing collateral inventory, administering email campaigns and maintaining related email lists through MailChimp or other email campaign tools. The Communications Coordinator also manages departmental and publication specific content calendars.

Folks interested in the Communications Coordinator role should have a Bachelor’s degree in journalism, English or related degree along with two to three years’ experience in corporate communications, preferably in a business-to-business environment. Knowledge of communications practices – including both planning and implementation – is critical as are excellent writing and editing skills for a wide range of communications. You'll need the ability to track and manage multiple projects simultaneously, effectively managing workload and meeting deadlines. A team player who is able to participate in and contribute to other department initiatives with the willingness to help others even when it is not in an area directly related to job title is a must. As you would also expect for this type of position, strong computer skills (word processing, spreadsheets, presentation software) are required and experience with internet and intranet, social media and video production is desirable. This position does some travel within Colorado so candidates must possess and maintain a valid Colorado driver’s license and provide proof of insurance.
