Company Overview

Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago was founded more than a century ago to meet human needs. We accompany anyone in need regardless of their faith, race, gender, or ethnicity. By unifying and collaborating across the Catholic community during the 1917 global pandemic, our founders envisioned that together we might make a bigger difference for our community, and we did . . . and still do. A trusted partner and steward, Catholic Charities has grown to be one of the largest human service providers in the Chicago metropolitan region, covering all of Cook and Lake counties.

With excellent WordPress abilities and deep understanding of Google analytics, the specialist will work with external digital partners to maximize the site’s effectiveness across all stakeholder groups.

The D-DC will also lead the Team in creating and implementing a thoughtful, targeted strategy for communicating via a small set of social media platforms.
