Currently we’re looking for awesome Logan Square lovers like you to fill these positions:

Marketing Director

We’re looking for a great leader with vision for the future to direct our marketing team. Our ideal marketing director is a creative and organized self-starter, who isn’t afraid to take the lead and take LoganSquarist to the next level. Previous marketing experience a definite plus, and you’ll work directly with me!

Social Media Community Manager

Are you an expert at telling a story in 140 characters or less? LoganSquarist got its start on Twitter, so social media is at the heart of our organization. We’re looking for a fun and organized community manager to take charge of our social media presence by promoting stories and events, engaging with followers and keeping everyone up-to-date on what’s happening in Logan Square and at LoganSquarist!

Graphic Designer

Fliers, banners, posters, invites and digital graphics—we need someone who can do it all! As a graphic designer, you will support the marketing team by creating cool, original graphic designs to promote a range of marketing initiatives.

Copy Editor

Find yourself taking red ink to pretty much any paper you come across? We have the perfect position for you. Our copy editor will be responsible for checking stories for grammar, style, factual and spelling errors, among other things. Help us make our stories the best they can be.

Events Manager

Have you attended a recent Neighbor Meetup and thought to yourself, I could totally do this? We love hosting neighborhood events, but we can’t do it without a dedicated events team! As an events manager, you will support the events team in organizing and hosting our monthly Neighbor Meetups and quarterly special events—and have a ton of fun doing it!

Calendar Manager
