Content Coordinator

We are a nonprofit membership organization whose mission is to work through education and advocacy to recognize, preserve, and revitalize the historic, architectural, and cultural resources of Los Angeles County.

Founded in 1978 to save the Central Library in downtown L.A. from demolition, we have the largest membership of any local preservation organization in the United States.

We believe that Los Angeles County is a place where people value the past and consider it an essential part of our present and future.

Through our walking tours and other special events, we have brought countless Los Angeles residents and visitors closer to the historic buildings and unique spaces that make Los Angeles so special.

We raise awareness about issues affecting Angelenos, their neighborhoods, and the legacy businesses we cherish—and make resources, technical support, training, and financial assistance available to small legacy businesses in need.

We proactively work on preservation issues throughout the County and in response to specific threats to cultural and architectural historic resources.

And we nurture the next generation of preservationists by bringing history to life to thousands of students each year.

The Los Angeles Conservancy seeks a highly motivated Content Coordinator who is passionate about Los Angeles’ history and preserving the county’s architecturally and culturally significant historic resources. The Content Coordinator must be a strong communicator who appreciates the rich diversity of Los Angeles and shares the Conservancy’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

The Content Coordinator is an integral part of the Conservancy’s small, fast-paced Communications team, helping to develop, coordinate, and execute communication and marketing strategies that promote the organization, programs, advocacy issues, membership, and other initiatives--we are the storytellers. Core responsibilities revolve around coordinating and producing, updating, and maintaining digital and print content for multiple projects and platforms simultaneously.

We’re looking for a skilled coordinator with a passion for storytelling, an eye for design and a positive can-do attitude; someone creative and resourceful who thrives under pressure. This is a full-time exempt position that reports to the Director of Communications.
