Candidate Profile:

You should be an advocate for Philadelphia’s arts and culture sector, who understands that the social, educational, and economic growth of Philadelphia is tied to the vitality of the arts and culture in our city. While PCF builds relationships with the Philadelphians who steward our dollars, we work to dismantle historical, inequitable philanthropic practices. You will digitally tell PCF’s ongoing story of trust-based philanthropy, a practice at the center of everything we do. 

A successful candidate for this role could look like:

  • A person with two years of demonstrated success in nonprofit marketing and communications. This person may have experience designing and managing content that clearly and creatively communicates programmatic information to a wide-ranging audience.
  • A person who might not have experience in the nonprofit sector, but who has a passion for design, experience in content creation, and is good at engaging audiences online with graphics and interactive tools. This person may be creatively inspired as a videographer, video editor, or photographer.
  • A person who is an adept copywriter, with a mind for energizing audiences through written content. This person might have a great visual eye—matching graphics to complement and augment messaging.
  • Someone familiar with access-oriented marketing and communications operations, strategies, and design best practices will be set up for success in this role. Knowledge of Philadelphia’s arts and culture sector will be very helpful to someone in this position. The ability to work with discretion when handling applicant/grantee organization information is necessary. PCF uses Constant Contact for our newsletter, Canva for design and digital media, Webflow for our website, Vimeo for our video archiving and editing, Shopify for our online shop, and Asana for our project management.
  • You are enthusiastic about serving the Philadelphia art and culture community and are experienced in building relationships with accountability. With strong skills in collaboration and communication, you work with creativity and a solutions-oriented mindset. A strategist who can think analytically with attention to detail.
