Multimedia Coordinator

Arizona is at the forefront of job growth in the bioscience and healthcare sectors. As these sectors continue to flourish, so too will future career opportunities for K-12 students. A real need exists across Arizona to bridge the gap between K-12 education and the bioscience and healthcare sector promoting the myriad of potential career opportunities for students, essential skills required for these careers and practical guidance on how to move into these dynamic fields.

This role will support 75% of the time to Exploring Pathways to Bioscience and Healthcare Careers (EPBHC) program activities, reportable video projects relating to teacher professional development, classroom viewing, the use of the Educator Pro Connect platform, working with industry professionals, and performance measures monitored for grant program implementation and reporting. The Multimedia Coordinator will dedicate 25% of their time to communication, marketing, and branding efforts for the Office of the Maricopa County School Superintendent.

The Office of the Maricopa County School Superintendent is led by the elected Superintendent. The office provides statutory services related to school governing board elections, bond and override elections, appointments, school finance, and maintaining homeschool and private school records.
