Are you ready to bring your unique vision to a team that’s actively shaping culture? Do you want to work for a legacy organization that informs, inspires, and impacts the Black community? If you are eager to use your creativity to help tell meaningful stories, build deep community roots, and make long-lasting connections, this is the place for you. Join us to contribute to a 92-year-old institution, and turn your passion into fuel that helps keep our legacy burning bright for generations to come.

You will manage client accounts, process invoices, maintain accurate financial records, and design compelling sales collateral, all while acting as a vital backbone for the team’s revenue and community initiatives.
