Marketing, Social Media, and Communications Coordinator

To apply, please send a cover letter, resume, and portfolio directly to Matt Lockaby.

Lockaby PLLC is an established, and growing, law firm headquartered in Lexington, Kentucky. Its attorneys are recognized leaders in the profession (they’re recognized by their peers as Kentucky “Super Lawyers”), among the bar (they hold leadership positions with bar association sections and committees), and in the community (they devote countless hours to community organizations).

The firm represents employers and management in labor-and-employment matters and individuals and families with estate planning needs, and it represents plaintiffs and defendants in business, commercial, and personal injury litigation.

It’s now looking for a Marketing, Communications & Social Media Coordinator to help nurture existing client relationships and to help grow the firm’s client base.

The ideal candidate will be smart, intuitive, and creative—someone who can deliver dense legal content in a relatable and entertaining way. The ideal candidate will also be an excellent writer. Being informative is important, of course; but only being informative isn’t enough to sustain an engaged audience, especially with legal content. So, creativity and the ability—or desire—to distill complex legal issues into an accessible read for non-lawyers is essential.

Work Location

While we prefer that this person primarily work in the office, we will consider both remote and hybrid arrangements for the right candidate.
