Responsibilities

• Content Creation & Capture
• Capture photo and short-form video content at Foundation and Library events, programs, and branch locations.
• Draft social copy in NPLF’s voice for review, adapting tone and format to each platform.
• Build simple graphics and short-form video edits using approved templates and brand assets (Canva or similar).
• Organize and tag photo, video, and graphic files in the shared media library so assets are easy to find and reuse.
• Research trends, audio, and formats relevant to library, literacy, and nonprofit audiences, and bring ideas to content planning conversations.
• Social Media & Website Support
• Schedule approved posts across NPLF platforms according to the content calendar.
• Monitor comments, messages, tags, and mentions daily; flag questions, donor inquiries, and sensitive comments to full-time staff rather than responding independently.
• Engage with partner, Library, and community accounts to strengthen NPLF’s presence and relationships.

Requirements

• Currently enrolled in a Lipscomb University program, ideally in marketing, communications, journalism, public relations, digital media, graphic design, or a related field.
