Job Description

COMMUNICATIONS COORDINATOR

We’re looking for a Communications Coordinator - someone at the beginning of their career who sees this not just as a job, but as a path toward becoming a trusted communications professional.

To thrive here, you’ll need more than baseline skills. You should be curious, disciplined, and willing to lean into the work. You ask questions. You listen closely. You take pride in getting the details right, while learning to see the bigger picture. Most of all, you’re someone who is ready to grow because growth is expected here.

At Olomana Loomis ISC, we don’t just communicate - we help organizations navigate moments that matter.

We are:

• Bold – We’re not afraid to stand out, take a position, and be heard.
• Creative – We aim to be distinctive, original, and purposeful in our thinking.
• Dynamic – We adapt, evolve, and move with intention in a changing world.

Olomana Loomis ISC is an integrated marketing, brand, communications, and business consulting firm. We work across strategy, storytelling, and execution - serving clients in sectors ranging from education and healthcare to energy, finance, real estate, nonprofit, and public affairs.

THE ROLE

The Communications Coordinator supports client work across three core areas: project coordination, client support, and content development.

1. Project Coordination

You help keep the work moving.

• Support project timelines, deliverables, and internal coordination
• Work with team members and external partners to ensure alignment and quality
• Track details—deadlines, revisions, approvals—so nothing slips
• Help maintain a standard of excellence across all deliverables

This is where you learn how good work actually gets done.

2. Client Support

You help create structure and clarity for both the team and the client.

• Coordinate meetings (internal and client-facing), including agendas and notes
• Prepare briefs, status updates, and background materials
• Conduct research to inform strategy and communications
• Support account leads in keeping clients informed, organized, and moving forward

This is where you begin to understand how relationships are built and maintained.

3. Content Development (Copywriting)

You help shape the message.

• Research and draft content across formats: social media, email, web, newsletters, presentations, and more
• Support storytelling for campaigns and ongoing communications
• Assist in drafting media materials including news releases, talking points, and press kits
• Contribute to media relations efforts, including pitches and event support
• Observe and support media interviews and training sessions

This is where you develop your voice, and learn how words drive action.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

• Strong writing and communication skills
• Highly organized with attention to detail
• Curious, coachable, and willing to learn quickly
• Able to manage multiple tasks and deadlines
• A collaborative mindset - you work well with others and contribute to team success
• Interest in communications, media, storytelling, and strategy

This role is a starting point but it is not a small one.

You’ll be exposed to real work, real clients, and real expectations. If you’re willing to put in the effort, you’ll leave this role sharper, more capable, and on your way to becoming a communications professional people trust.
