You’ll write original, audience-focused content tailored to each placement, from destination stories for potential visitors to industry updates for partners and stakeholders. You’ll adapt tone, structure and messaging to fit each placement, producing work that is inspirational, clear and motivating while keeping pace during busy seasons and high-volume production cycles.

• Prioritize and manage multiple content requests during high-volume production cycles.
• Provide constructive feedback and welcome input during the review process to strengthen final products.
• Contribute to team efforts beyond core responsibilities, such as covering the visitor center or assisting at events.

Qualifications

• Strong writing skills with the ability to craft clear, compelling, and audience-specific messages.
• Ability to adjust voice and approach for different audiences (visitors, planners, community members) while staying true to the brand.
• Genuine interest in Lane County’s communities, including curiosity about what distinguishes places like Oakridge from Florence.
• Ability to remain steady and prioritize effectively during busy periods and last-minute requests.
• Collaborative mindset with a willingness to share work and provide thoughtful, constructive feedback.
• Strong attention to detail, including catching typos, verifying links, and ensuring polished final products.
• Flexibility to pitch in wherever needed, embracing variety and teamwork in a small-team environment.

Benefits

• Paid holidays, vacation, and sick leave
• Employer SEP/IRA contributions after two years

Work Environment

You’ll join a team that works hard, supports one another, and genuinely enjoys collaborating to achieve shared goals. Expectations will be clear, along with the tools, training, and resources you need to succeed and make a meaningful impact. Your work schedule will respect your life outside of work, and ongoing learning and career development opportunities will align with your goals. Above all, you'll be part of a culture built on trust, teamwork, mutual respect, and a sense of fun that makes coming to work rewarding every day.

Your work supports important marketing placements and projects on behalf of Travel Lane County and the communities we serve. It requires careful attention to detail, a creative perspective, and a professional approach, with much of your content reaching visitors and partners who shape the future of the visitor economy in the region.
