How to Apply for Outreach and Communications Coordinator

at Intersectional Innovations Consulting

🏢 About Intersectional Innovations Consulting

Intersectional Innovations Consulting is a consulting firm that centers equity, justice, and restorative practices in its client work and internal culture. The communications style is explicitly warm, thoughtful, bold, and grounded in justice—so you’d be joining a team that treats communications as relationship-building rather than broadcasting. This is a rare chance to shape the voice of a small, values-driven consultancy where your writing and strategy directly reflect the mission.

About This Role

As the Outreach and Communications Coordinator, you’ll own the entire communications ecosystem: LinkedIn and Instagram content, newsletters, client letters, website updates, event promotions, and Canva graphics. You’ll also track analytics to refine strategy and build relationships across digital and community networks. With a 5–10 hour weekly cap, this role is perfect for a strategic, self-directed communicator who can make every post, email, and graphic count toward deeper engagement.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical week might start with reviewing engagement data from last week’s LinkedIn posts, then drafting and scheduling new content in your editorial calendar. You’d spend time in Canva creating a flyer for an upcoming event, write a newsletter draft, and update a website page with new resources. You might also send a follow-up client letter and spend 30 minutes engaging in comments or DMs to build relationships—all within your 5–10 hour cap.

Practice questions for this role

🎯 Who Intersectional Innovations Consulting Is Looking For

  • You have a portfolio of LinkedIn and Instagram content that demonstrates a warm, values-driven voice—not corporate or salesy—and you can explain the strategy behind your posts.
  • You’re comfortable owning an editorial calendar end-to-end: drafting, editing, scheduling, and publishing across newsletters, client letters, and social platforms with minimal oversight.
  • You’ve used Canva (or similar) to create flyers, social graphics, and promotional assets that look polished and on-brand, and you can share examples.
  • You treat analytics as a tool for learning and iteration—you can point to a time you reviewed engagement data and changed your approach based on what you found.
  • You’re deeply aligned with equity and justice values and can communicate about them in a way that feels restorative, not performative.

📝 Tips for Applying to Intersectional Innovations Consulting

1

Tailor your resume and cover letter to explicitly mention LinkedIn and Instagram content ownership—this role names those platforms, so show you’ve managed them, not just used them.

2

Include a link to a portfolio or 2–3 sample posts/graphics that reflect a warm, equity-centered voice; generic marketing samples won’t stand out here.

3

In your cover letter, describe a time you turned a broadcast-style announcement into a conversation or relationship-building moment—this company explicitly values that shift.

4

Mention Canva by name and describe a specific asset you created (flyer, social graphic, etc.) and how it performed or was received.

5

Address the part-time, 5–10 hour cap directly: explain how you’ll prioritize high-impact work and stay organized with limited hours, since this is a real constraint.

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

['Your ability to own an editorial calendar and execute across newsletters, social, and website updates with limited hours—show you’re self-directed and deadline-driven.', 'A concrete example of how you’ve used analytics to inform content strategy, not just report on it—this role explicitly calls that out.', 'Your alignment with the company’s voice: warm, thoughtful, restorative, bold, and grounded in equity and justice—use their exact language and show you understand it.', 'Your experience building relationships through outreach and community engagement, not just pushing content—demonstrate you see communications as relational.']

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Submitting generic marketing samples that don’t reflect a warm, equity-centered, relationship-building voice—this company will notice if your portfolio feels corporate or pushy.
  • Ignoring the 5–10 hour/week cap in your application; not addressing how you’ll manage limited hours signals you haven’t read the role carefully.
  • Treating analytics as just reporting—saying you ‘track metrics’ without explaining how you’ve used data to change strategy misses a key requirement.
  • Using performative or buzzword-heavy language about equity and justice without demonstrating genuine alignment or concrete examples.
