Ready to make your mark in the world of communications? At Olomana Loomis ISC, we believe great stories move people — and bold ideas can change communities. We’re a Hawai‘i-based, globally connected team that blends strategy, creativity, and heart to help our clients make a real impact. If you’re a natural storyteller who loves crafting messages that matter, thrives in a fast-moving environment, and wants to grow alongside inspiring teammates and clients, we want to meet you.

We’re an integrated marketing, branding, communications, and business consulting firm serving clients across industries — from education and energy to healthcare, technology, retail, and community nonprofits. Our mission is simple: to create meaningful work that drives change and helps organizations reach their full potential.

As our Communications Manager, you’ll help shape how ideas are shared, stories are told, and audiences are inspired. You’ll collaborate with creative strategists, designers, and clients to plan and execute communications that cut through the noise and connect with purpose.
