2 months contract with possible extension

location : Conshohocken PA, 19428. Our Online Content Specialist job profile was written to lean very heavily into Marketing experience. While this is certainly relevant and would be great if we found this expertise, we will need to prioritize finding the right Digital + Web Content Management experience. In past times when we’ve tried to source candidates for this role, there have been a lot of candidates primarily with Marketing and Social Media Manager expertise, often related to just the creation of content – which is not quite what we are looking for. Having this knowledge can help, but in addition to overall Marketing + content creation expertise, we need someone with the Digital and hands-on Content Management experience. Overall, this role will require Marketing Campaign management as well as hands on updates in our CMS tools. I would also like to prioritize candidates that are bi-lingual, Spanish speaking, but if this limits us too much, I do not want to eliminate candidates that only speak English. Let me know if this becomes an issue with sourcing the right candidates. Here are some considerations for the role to be added to the req in addition to what is already in the job profile:
