Marketing Coordinator - Fluent in Ukrainian (Volunteer)

About Us

Svitlo is a US-based non-profit bringing information transparency and resource coordination to the Ukrainian refugee resettlement effort across a complex landscape of government and nonprofit organizations.

Svitlo is occupying a unique and important niche in identifying, researching, and centralizing important information about benefits, housing, job search, and other services Ukrainians need to make building a new life in the US. Because the US government operates in a decentralized way, each state has its own set of rules, processes, and relief organizations. Our goal is to provide Ukrainians with accurate, relevant, and timely information they can use to access the services available to them.

About the Role

Svitlo is looking for a marketing coordinator to support our marketing initiatives in service of our effort to drive awareness for our mission through owned and earned channels. You will work directly with the Head of Marketing to develop and execute email, influencer, social media, and press, and any additional campaigns. 

Our primary goal is to connect Ukrainian newcomers with the resources and information available on our website. Our secondary goal is reaching sponsors and donors to support the organization.

This is an entry-level role with little to no experience necessary. However, we are looking for dedicated and ambitious team members who want to learn. You should care deeply about Ukrainian newcomers in the US and can help translate that empathy into deep listening and impactful strategy.
