What You’ll Do

As our part-time, on-site Marketing and Communications Coordinator, you’ll work under the direction of the Marketing Manager to keep projects moving and details buttoned up. This role is 25 hours per week, with a flexible schedule as long as all hours are completed on site Monday through Friday between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM.

This role exists to provide steady project, production, vendor, and administrative support so the Marketing & Communications team can deliver campaigns and daily requests accurately and on schedule.

Key responsibilities include:
- Tracking project workflows, timelines, assets, and approvals
- Supporting internal communications and marketing resources
- Handling routine ordering, fulfillment, and inventory of recurring materials
- Assisting with donor receipting, mailings, and confidential donor information
- Coordinating with printers, vendors, and internal partners

Required qualifications/skills:
- High school diploma/equivalent (associate degree/coursework preferred)
- 1–2 years in admin, coordination, marketing/communications, or related work (preferred)
- Strong organization, follow-through, and attention to detail
- Microsoft Office + SharePoint proficiency (ClickUp preferred)
- Basic flyer/internal material updates (Canva preferred)

A Typical Day

You’re on-site in Grand Rapids, getting a quick pulse-check with the Marketing Manager, then hopping into the day’s queue: a few items need approvals, a couple assets need rounding up, and a vendor has a timing question. Between SharePoint files, project updates, and a handful of quick check-ins, you keep the team’s moving parts lined up.

Later, you pivot to the practical stuff—making sure routine materials are stocked, an order is ready to go, and a mailing is prepped with care and confidentiality. By day’s end, things feel calmer and clearer: fewer loose ends, smoother handoffs, and one more set of details handled the right way.

Perks

PTO, a snack/drink room, plus employee discounts.
