Employment Opportunities

As part of the Division of University Marketing and Communications, the Communication Operations Specialist is a member of a technical marketing team that collaborates closely to support the communication needs of the Division of Enrollment Management.

The Communication Operations Specialist is committed to service excellence in the execution of our most vital touchpoints — from publishing and fulfilling acceptance letters that generate excitement for admitted students, to merging financial aid communications that clearly articulate the costs and value of a UD education, to sending emails that help recruitment and admission move students through the marketing funnel. This role focuses on the “how” of communication: writing SQL queries and building Salesforce reports to pull precise audiences, merging data in high volume letters and PDFs, and ensuring every piece of mail or email we send is accurate, personalized and professional.

Reporting to the Associate Director of Communication Operations, this role will prepare critical direct mail communications while also supporting the execution of email campaigns, data requests and managing inventory of the team’s print materials.

Rooted in our Catholic, Marianist traditions, University Marketing and Communications is committed to inclusion and belonging. This position will work to ensure we are accurately communicating with and reaching the many audiences vital to the University’s success.

This position is located in Dayton, Ohio; a hybrid work schedule is available with a mixture of on-campus and remote work.

- Bachelor’s degree OR Associate’s degree with equivalent work experience
- 1 or more years of experience in a data-driven or print fulfillment role
- Experience with mail merges for letters and print projects
- Strong attention to detail and data accuracy with a commitment to service excellence

- Working knowledge of Oracle SQL, HTML, Alteryx, Adobe InDesign, S-docs, Edify and/or Microsoft Office Suite (primarily Word and Excel)
- Familiarity working in an Agile scrum project management environment
