Graphic Design and Social Media Manager Full Time, Non Exempt — Anchorage Symphony Orchestra About the Anchorage Symphony Orchestra

Founded in 1946, more than a decade before Alaska became a state, the Anchorage Symphony Orchestra has grown from a small community ensemble into one of Alaska's most celebrated cultural institutions. Following its landmark 80th Season under the leadership of Music Director Elizabeth Schulze, the ASO performs at the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts and reaches tens of thousands of Alaskans each year through concerts, education programs, and community initiatives.

The ASO has been described as “a cultural powerhouse for Alaska that is innovative, accessible, and always a bit unpredictable,” and its vision, Great Music for Every Life, drives everything it does.

The ASO's programming spans a Classic Series of full orchestra concerts with world class guest artists, an imaginative Pops series, film and multimedia performances, and cross cultural collaborations that reflect the richness of the Anchorage community. Beyond the concert hall, the ASO connects students and families through its Young People's Concerts and school based programs, supports young musicians through the Mary and Lucian Cassetta Music Scholarship Competition, and opens its doors to underserved community members through its Music for My Neighbors initiative.

The Graphic Design and Social Media Manager leads day to day graphic design and social media content creation for the Anchorage Symphony Orchestra, producing the visual materials patrons see across print, digital, and social channels, from program books and posters to Instagram and Facebook content. This role reports directly to the Executive Director and works closely with all ASO staff, media partners, musicians, the Board, and other stakeholders across the organization.

This is a hands on creative role suited to someone who wants to be the primary designer and social media voice for a community institution, and who wants to grow their skills within a small, mission driven team.
