Digital Content & Design Coordinator

This position description is a general summary of the essential duties and responsibilities of the position. Ralston College reserves the right to add, delete, or modify the duties and responsibilities contained in this description.

Ralston College, a new institution of higher education dedicated to the revival and reinvention of the traditional university, seeks a full-time Digital Content & Design Coordinator to support the College’s visual and digital communications.

The successful candidate will be an accomplished and versatile graphic designer with an exceptional eye for detail, exacting standards of quality, and the organizational discipline required to bring communications from conception through publication. The position calls for someone who takes genuine pride in creating elegant and beautiful graphics with precision: who notices inconsistencies, catches errors before publication, and understands that typography, image selection, grammar, formatting, and timing all contribute to the quality and integrity of an institution’s public expression.

Graphic design will remain at the heart of the position, but the role extends beyond the creation of individual assets. Working closely with the Senior Director of Strategic Initiative and Director of Marketing, the Digital Content & Design Coordinator will help coordinate, prepare, and publish content across the College’s website, social media channels, newsletters, and other internal and external communications. The position therefore requires both visual imagination and meticulous execution: the ability to create beautiful work while ensuring that what the College publishes is accurate, timely, carefully copy-edited, and consistently aligned with the Ralston brand.

Given the small and dynamic nature of the College, the successful candidate will have the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the evolving visual identity of a growing institution and to the ways in which its intellectual and cultural life is presented to the wider world.
