ARGENTUM is the leading national trade association serving companies that own, operate, and support professionally managed senior living communities in the United States. Our staff thrives on serving companies creating better living options for our country’s seniors.
We’re looking for a Communications Specialist to amplify our voice across press, email, web, and social—especially through daily news curation and our I Love Senior Living campaign. At Argentum, we champion the people, communities, and innovations that make senior living thrive.
Why this role matters
Senior living is evolving—and so is the conversation around it. You’ll help ensure our messaging is consistent, compelling, and aligned with our mission to share positive, authentic stories that tell the real story of senior living.
What you’ll do:
- Press & media support: Draft, edit, and proofread press releases, advisories, and statements; help build press lists, distribute releases, and track coverage.
- Daily news curation (Rasa.io): Curate Argentum’s Daily News email, monitor industry trends, and recommend engagement improvements.
- I Love Senior Living campaign: Support execution of the communications plan, craft short-form content (social, email blurbs, talking points), and repurpose stories and assets from members and partners.
- Content & messaging: Edit web content and email copy; uphold brand voice and key talking points across platforms.
- Collaboration & project support: Partner with policy, membership, education, events, and research teams; coordinate with external vendors and partners; jump in on campaigns and special projects as needed.
You’ll thrive here if you…
- Are a sharp writer and editor with PR instincts and media management skills.
- Juggle projects with strong organization and a calm, proactive approach.
- Collaborate well across levels and functions.
- Bring creativity for social and short-form content (basic graphic design a plus).
- Think strategically and use data to improve communications.
- Communicate with empathy, cultural sensitivity, and professionalism.
- Are comfortable with digital tools and platforms (email, web, multimedia).
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Communications, Journalism, Marketing, PR—or equivalent experience.
- 2–4 years in communications, content, or marketing; association/nonprofit experience welcomed.
- Exceptional writing, editing, and proofreading; detail-oriented.
- Experience with email/newsletter tools or marketing automation; familiarity with Rasa.io a plus.
- Comfortable with social media and digital channels.
- Strong organizational skills to manage multiple deadlines in a part-time schedule.
- Passion for storytelling in the senior living space.
- Proficiency in MS Office.
Schedule & Work Environment
This is a part-time, non-exempt role (up to 20 hours/week), Monday–Friday during core flexible hours. You’ll report to the VP of Marketing & Content.
