How to Apply for Digital Content & Visual Communications Coordinator (Part-Time contractor)

at Siegel Rare Neuroimmune Association

🏢 About Siegel Rare Neuroimmune Association

The Siegel Rare Neuroimmune Association (SRNA) is a mission-driven nonprofit that has been a lifeline for individuals and families affected by rare neuroimmune disorders since 1994. Working here means contributing to a tight-knit community that values equity, research, and compassionate support, all while amplifying voices that are often unheard.

About This Role

As the Digital Content & Visual Communications Coordinator, you'll be the creative engine behind SRNA's digital presence, transforming complex medical and awareness content into accessible, engaging visuals and copy. Your work directly impacts the community's ability to stay informed, connected, and empowered, making this role both creatively fulfilling and deeply meaningful.

💡 A Day in the Life

You might start your day reviewing a new blog post to pull key quotes for social media, then design a carousel infographic in Canva summarizing a podcast episode. After that, you'd schedule the week's content in Buffer, set up an automation in Make.com to repurpose Instagram posts to YouTube Shorts, and refine a one-pager for an upcoming awareness campaign—all while collaborating with the team via Asana.
