Description
The Digital Content Coordinator is a key role within San Diego Opera. Opera isn’t just listened to. It’s a visual experience, and before a guest ever takes a seat in the theatre, their attention was probably captured from an email, an ad on the internet, or something on social media – all visuals created by the Digital Content Coordinator.
If you’re the ideal candidate, you’re a Photoshop whiz who’s very comfortable creating graphics and working with online social media and web publishing platforms. You're a self-starter and problem-solver with a strong work ethic and impeccable attention to detail, who takes responsibility and ownership of projects from start to finish. You’re a designer/creator excited to use your talent, taste, and creativity growing the audience for stunning, world-class opera in Southern California.
