Marketing is a crucial tool for running a successful high-profile department with diverse programs and goals. The Marketing Assistant position creates a cohesive brand image for the Dean of Students Office (DOS) at UNM through marketing and graphic design expertise. This position is a core part of our campus presence, providing marketing support for the Student Well-Being, Student Rights & Responsibilities, and Office of Parents & Families divisions of the DOS. On an average day, the Marketing Assistant contributes to our departmental photo library, films short-form video content, develops print material for events, manages the DOS and associated social media accounts, and generally uses their creativity to promote the Dean of Students Office to the UNM community.

Duties include, but are not limited to:

• Create promotional materials for DOS programs, including Student Well-Being, Student Rights & Responsibilities, and Office of Parents & Families

Work may be completed outside of regular business hours with hybrid remote work, subject to performance and schedule considerations. Most working hours must be completed during 8-5 business hours. Projects may be given with short notice, so time management and communication are key.
