Design and Marketing Coordinator

POSITION OVERVIEW
The Benedict XVI Institute is seeking a Design & Marketing Coordinator to serve as the primary hands on creative support for the Institute. This is a design forward role: the person in this seat will spend most of their time developing and producing polished, brand consistent visual content and helping BXVI continually develop and improve its visual identity. The role also supports the practical marketing systems that put that creative work in front of our audiences.

The ideal candidate is a strong designer with excellent visual judgment who can take BXVI's existing messaging and turn it into finished, professional pieces across digital and print channels. This person should be comfortable working independently, managing multiple small projects, and bringing ideas for improving BXVI's visual presentation. Because BXVI is a Catholic organization, we are looking for someone who is Catholic or Catholic friendly, and whose life and conduct reflect and support our mission.
