How to Apply for Campaign & Administrative Assistant

at Reel Medicine Media

🏢 About Reel Medicine Media

Reel Medicine Media is a unique non-profit founded by ICU/Palliative Care doctor Jessica Zitter that uses documentary film and storytelling to transform end-of-life care. Unlike traditional healthcare organizations, it operates at the intersection of media, education, and advocacy to humanize medical experiences. Working here offers the chance to contribute to meaningful social impact through creative campaigns while being part of a small, mission-driven team.

About This Role

This Campaign & Administrative Assistant role combines outreach, event coordination, and promotional support for Reel Medicine Media's documentary screenings and educational programs. You'll directly contribute to expanding the organization's reach by researching partners, managing event logistics, and executing marketing activities. Your work will help amplify stories that change how healthcare professionals and the public approach end-of-life care.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with checking communications from event partners and updating screening details on the website, followed by creating social media graphics from templates to promote upcoming virtual events. In the afternoon, you could research new outreach leads for documentary screenings, track expenses from recent activities, and coordinate interview schedules for PR appearances—all while collaborating remotely with the small team via messaging and video calls.
