Marketing & Communications Specialist

Vision To Learn - 

Job Description

Position Title: Marketing & Communications Specialist
Location: Los Angeles, CA (West Los Angeles office) – Hybrid 
Employment Type: Full-Time | $70,000 - $75,000 annually benefits

The Mission

Children learn better when they can see clearly at school. Since 2012, Vision To Learn has provided over 650,000 pairs of glasses to students in underserved communities across the U.S. We operate mobile vision clinics—optometric exam rooms on wheels—to bring essential eye care directly to the kids who need it most. Now, we’re looking for a storyteller to help our brand look as impactful as the work we do.

The Role: Content Creator & Brand Ambassador

We aren't just looking for someone to "manage social media." We are looking for a digital native—someone who lives and breathes online culture and knows how to document the world in a way that feels authentic and polished. We have great stories and need a great storyteller to tell them.

You will be a creative catalyst in our Los Angeles office, working directly with our marketing leadership to put Vision To Learn on par with the most well-regarded nonprofits in the country.

What You’ll Do

• Document the Magic: You’ll be on the ground at school visits and events, capturing the "aha!" moment when a child puts on glasses for the first time. You treat documenting Vision To Learn’s impact with the same care and aesthetic sensibility you’d use for your own digital life.


• High-End Content Generation: Using Canva, Adobe Creative Suite, and AI-driven tools, you will design social graphics, flyers, and event signage that scream "high quality." 


• Social Storytelling: You’ll manage our presence on Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and beyond, turning our mission into compelling short-form video and narratives. 


• The "Big Moments": You’ll play a key role in our Annual Report and Spring Spectacle fundraiser, ensuring every touchpoint is on-brand. 


• Internal Partner Support: You’ll treat our internal teams as your "customers," helping them look their best and providing them with the tools they need to succeed. You’ll equip them with templates, toolkits, and assets they can actually use without needing a design degree.


• Do What It Takes: Great creative teams don't have a "that's not my job" reflex. You'll pitch in on mailings, coordinate shipments, and knock out the kinds of tasks that keep a lean operation running. This isn’t the bulk of your work — but when it's needed, you’ll gladly roll up your sleeves. That's the culture here, and it says a lot about who you are.

Who You Are

• Digitally Fluent: You "live online." You understand trends before they happen and know how to use social media to build community.


• Aesthetic & Resourceful: You have a refined sense of style and don’t wait for permission to make things better. If you see a way to make a graphic sharper or a video more engaging, you do it.


• AI-Forward: You aren't afraid of new tech; you’re already thinking about how AI can streamline your workflow and enhance your creativity.

• A Professional Storyteller: You have a Bachelor’s degree, 3-5 years of experience, and a portfolio that proves you can write, design, and create content that sticks. 

• Taking Care of Business: You are organized, detail-oriented, and possess a "nothing is too small" customer-service ethos. 

Why You’ll Love Working Here

• Mission-driven work with visible community impact


• Collaborative and supportive team culture


• Opportunities to build a portfolio across marketing, design, and event production


• Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits
