    Job Summary

    The Internal Communications & Publications Team in the University's Division of University Marketing & Communications seeks a multi-talented editor and writer to support the University's strategic storytelling platforms.

    The Associate Director role calls for an organized and creative managing editor to co-produce a handful of high-profile University publications: Drexel Magazine, EXEL Magazine, President's Report, annual commencement books, and other occasional projects.

The Internal Communications & Publications Team operates the University's owned media channels to elevate reputation and amplify strategic messages among faculty, professional staff, students, parents, alumni and external influencers. The Media Relations Team advises deans and other senior university leaders in their efforts to translate and communicate academic, research and service accomplishments to the University community and to outside media. Executive Communications positions key administrators as thought leaders through op-eds and expert source status, raises the University's profile through Presidential speaking engagements, and ensures a timely and responsive voice of leadership. Collectively, the Division of University Marketing & Communications employs a collaborative group of 70+ professionals in media relations, social media, internal and alumni communications, creative design, web operations and marketing.
