About The Position

We’re looking for a Communications Coordinator - someone at the beginning of their career who sees this not just as a job, but as a path toward becoming a trusted communications professional. To thrive here, you’ll need more than baseline skills. You should be curious, disciplined, and willing to lean into the work. You ask questions. You listen closely. You take pride in getting the details right, while learning to see the bigger picture. Most of all, you’re someone who is ready to grow because growth is expected here. At Olomana Loomis ISC, we don’t just communicate - we help organizations navigate moments that matter. Olomana Loomis ISC is an integrated marketing, brand, communications, and business consulting firm. We work across strategy, storytelling, and execution - serving clients in sectors ranging from education and healthcare to energy, finance, real estate, nonprofit, and public affairs. The Communications Coordinator supports client work across three core areas: project coordination, client support, and content development. This role is a starting point but it is not a small one. You’ll be exposed to real work, real clients, and real expectations. If you’re willing to put in the effort, you’ll leave this role sharper, more capable, and on your way to becoming a communications professional people trust.
