The ideal candidate can manage multiple projects, take ownership of clearly defined deliverables, collaborate effectively with the marketing team and technical subject-matter experts, and consistently follow through on deadlines, approvals, and final execution.
- Own and complete multiple digital projects at the same time, keeping priorities, timelines, approvals, and deliverables moving forward.
- Turn plans into finished work by creating approved social posts, graphics, short-form videos, photographs, captions, website updates, and campaign assets that follow TSTS brand standards.
- Maintain and execute assigned portions of the content calendar, proactively addressing deadlines, dependencies, and approval needs.

- Review and update assigned website pages or digital assets for accuracy, accessibility, consistency, and relevance, following identified issues through resolution.
- Track agreed-upon performance measures, report concise results, recommend next steps, and implement approved adjustments.
- Organize project and brand resources, provide clear progress updates, ask timely questions, and follow through until assigned work is complete.
- Final-year student or recent graduate in marketing, communications, digital media, graphic design, journalism, public relations, or a related field.
