Multimedia Coordinator (Part-time)

The Multimedia Coordinator is a hands-on creative role for someone who loves visual storytelling, content development and live entertainment. The Multimedia Coordinator helps bring the Pittsburgh Playhouse & Conservatory of Performing Arts (COPA) to life through social, digital, print and multimedia platforms. From performances and rehearsals to backstage moments, student achievements, artist interviews and community events, this part-time position captures and creates the materials and tells the stories audiences experience before, during and after each event from playbills, advertising and email campaigns to photography, video, social media and behind-the-scenes content.

Working closely with the Managing Director of Marketing & Communications, Pittsburgh Playhouse & COPA and the Marketing Manager, Pittsburgh Playhouse, the Multimedia Coordinator develops brand consistent content that engages audiences, drives ticket sales, supports donor engagement, enrollment and community relations, and strengthens the visibility of the Pittsburgh Playhouse and COPA.
