Benefits:
As a Communications & Design Specialist, you'll turn IPS's stories, announcements, and plans into polished, audience-ready pieces — graphics, edited video, and written content that people actually stop to read or watch.

Responsibilities & Expectations
Design & Visual Content
- Own the design and production of graphics, one-pagers, flyers, and event materials for internal and PR use, from concept through final file.
- Build and maintain visual templates for newsletters, announcements, and presentations that other teams can use consistently.
- Apply and help enforce IPS's brand and visual guidelines across communications materials.
- Own end-to-end editing of video for internal communications and PR — auto-captioning, rough-cut assembly, transcript-based editing, and similar workflows.
- Turn raw footage and interviews into short, polished pieces for employee features, events, or media use, making independent calls on pacing and structure.
- Build and maintain an organized video and photo asset library for reuse across teams.
- Own the drafting of internal announcements and newsletter content, and draft PR materials for review, using drafting tools to work efficiently.
- Review and refine drafts for tone, accuracy, and brand voice before anything is shared.
- Support PR and communications projects led by the Marketing Operations Manager with research, scheduling, and coordination.
- Maintain and improve communication templates and toolkits used across teams.
- Partner with the Digital Content Manager and Creative Services Lead to keep visual and video content aligned with broader storytelling and marketing efforts.
- Work with teams across the business on day-to-day design and communications requests.
- 1–3 years of experience in design, communications, marketing, or a related field.
- A sharp editorial eye — comfortable catching tone, accuracy, or brand issues in a draft. This matters more than raw years of experience.
- Clear, professional writing skills for internal and PR-support content.
- Working proficiency with design tools such as Canva, Adobe Express, or Illustrator, with the ability to work independently once direction is set.
- Practical experience with video editing tools such as CapCut, Premiere Pro, or AI-assisted editors.
- Comfort using modern tools — including some AI-assisted drafting or editing tools — with good judgment about when something needs a human touch.
- Strong organizational skills and comfort juggling several small projects at once.
