Position Summary:

The Marketing and Communications Associate is a hands-on creative professional who produces content, executes campaigns, and manages creative projects from concept through completion, working under the strategic and creative direction of the Director of Marketing and Communications. The Associate owns the day-to-day production and execution of the school’s communications across print, digital, social, web, and event channels. The Director retains responsibility for departmental strategy, creative direction, institutional messaging, brand standards, crisis and emergency communications, and final approval of major campaigns. All work aligns with Holy Name High School’s mission, brand standards, and communications priorities.

This role requires regular contact with students and families and access to school photography, contact information, and other sensitive materials. Accordingly, the Diocese of Cleveland requires a background/criminal history check and VIRTUS safe-environment certification for this position.

The Ideal Candidate:

The ideal candidate is a curious, resourceful, hands-on creative who enjoys turning ideas into finished work and notices the stories and moments others overlook. He or she moves comfortably between photography, video, writing, design, and digital publishing and understands that strong creative work requires both imagination and dependable execution. The candidate can bring ideas forward, welcome creative direction and feedback, meet deadlines, and know when a routine matter has become sensitive and should be elevated. The candidate builds positive relationships across the school community, is energized by the pace of a school environment, and supports the mission and values of Catholic education.

Responsibilities:

Content Production & Publishing:

• Produce and distribute the Weekly Wave, Holy Name’s weekly school-family e-newsletter, from content collection through publishing
• Create, schedule, and publish day-to-day content across Holy Name’s social media platforms
• Maintain and update website content, pages, photography, and digital assets
• Draft, format, and distribute routine school communications and announcements

Storytelling, Photography & Design:

• Capture and edit photography and video at school events and across daily campus life
• Maintain an organized, searchable digital asset library

Campaign & Event Marketing Support:

• Support admissions recruitment and enrollment marketing — event campaigns, prospective-family emails, social content, and collateral
• Support advancement, alumni, and fundraising initiatives — event promotion, storytelling, and recognition content

Coordination & Collaboration:

• Coordinate assignments and review content from student creative-team contributors
• Coordinate information, approvals, and creative assets with departments across the school
• Elevate sensitive or high-profile communications to the Director for review
• Perform other duties as assigned

Event Attendance and Coverage:

• Regular evening and weekend work is an essential part of this position. The Associate attends designated priority events — across admissions, advancement and alumni, school and community, and athletics — for photography, video, and promotional coverage. Priority events are set annually by the Director and include, but are not limited to, Open House, Namers' Night of Giving Gala, the annual golf outing, Homecoming, graduation, and major school celebrations. The Associate is not expected to attend every school event, but attendance at designated priority events is a condition of the role.

What Success Looks Like

• Recurring communications — the Weekly Wave, social media, and website — are accurate, on-brand, and delivered on time
• School events and milestones are consistently captured and shared across the school’s channels
• Marketing and creative projects move efficiently from request to completion
• Admissions, advancement, alumni, athletics, and school events receive coordinated promotional support

• A portfolio demonstrating creative ability and completed work
