Position Overview
The Communications and Engagement Coordinator is a versatile, creative generalist responsible for bridging the gap between digital content strategy and real-world community connection to support Strathcona-Tweedsmuir School's (STS) recruitment and enrollment goals. This position manages multiple facets of the prospective family journey, recognizing that website optimization, authentic digital storytelling, and face-to-face engagement are deeply interconnected.
Serving as an internal journalist and brand ambassador, the incumbent explores the campus to capture daily school life, manages the school's primary digital marketing tool (the website), and directly represents the school by leading prospective family tours. This role requires an agile professional who can seamlessly transition from behind-the-scenes creative production to public-facing community engagement, using powerful storytelling to guide families from their first digital click to their first campus visit.
The role centers on identifying and sharing authentic, inspiring narratives that highlight the unique STS student and alumni journey and institutional values and offers a dynamic balance of independent creative production, technical system upkeep, and active, people-facing engagement.

Prioritize high-quality, agile smartphone capture to share the authentic daily STS experience with current and prospective community members.
