This position will develop, maintain, and update content of high-level recruitment, engagement and reputation-building messaging on behalf of the University. Working in collaboration with individuals responsible for content strategy and management, they will ensure that content adheres to strategy and brand messaging. The Information Writer 2 will craft sound content that reflects a consistent style, voice, and tone, and is aligned with the University’s brand.

This position will work collaboratively with Marketing and Communications strategists and other department leaders to develop content and serve as a resource for other content creators within the UToledo community.
