The communications team at Washington Filmworks and its partner organization Whipsmart is growing. Are you passionate about Washington’s creative community and motion picture industry?Â
We are seeking a full-time Communications Coordinator who will work alongside the Senior Communications Manager to effectively share the story of Washington’s creative economy. Both Washington Filmworks and Whipsmart are nonprofits that help those making a living being creative, either by financially supporting projects, providing business resources or advocating for policies and programs that support artists, craftspeople and entrepreneurs. This role will oversee the day-to-day coordination of communications initiatives and will be responsible for helping to imagine, build, and maintain a variety of resources to showcase the organizations and spotlight the statewide creative community. Â
As an ideal candidate, you will have excellent written and verbal communication skills. You will be creative, knowledgeable about our mission, and enjoy writing in a variety of formats. You will be a self-starter who can work independently with an emphasis on personal accountability and also enjoy collaboration. You should be comfortable both in front of a computer and in the community. You must be a strong problem solver with the ability to pivot and shift seamlessly in a small, fast-paced environment. Given the unique nature of our work, no day at the organization is the same. One day, we are celebrating the start of a film production and on another we are in Olympia talking to elected officials about the economic impact of the creative economy.  It’s sometimes a wild ride but it’s definitely a fun ride!Â
We believe that diversity of ideas and experience is one of our greatest strengths. We strongly encourage candidates from underrepresented communities to apply, which often include: Black, Latino, Indigenous and American Indian/Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian, Asian Americans, and Pacific Islanders, and other persons of color, members of religious minorities, refugees, migrants, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQIA2S+) persons, rural communities, formerly incarcerated persons, persons experiencing homelessness, and persons with disabilities. Although no candidate will match 100% with this job description, culture fit and willingness to learn with us is as important as the skills you bring.      Â
All applicants must be Washington residents and staff currently work remotely.
