Job Description

Description:

HLG is dedicated to making a difference in the lives of people who have been injured or disabled. What we do every day, with each individual client, positively impacts them as they face some of their most difficult times. Making a difference is what drives every member of this team, and it makes us one of the preeminent firms in our industry.

We are a committed, collaborative team of professionals driven by a shared purpose. As we continue to grow, we’re looking for people who embrace challenges, take initiative, and are willing to go the extra mile—because our clients deserve nothing less.

Currently, we are looking to add a Social Media & Community Engagement Specialist to our Marketing team. This role sits at the intersection of content creation, event coordination, and public relations, requiring someone who is equally comfortable crafting a compelling Instagram caption as they are representing the firm at a statewide bar association event or community outreach program.

• Track and report on social media analytics, using data to refine strategy and demonstrate ROI.
• Stay current on platform trends, algorithm changes, and best practices in legal marketing.

Community Events

• Plan, coordinate, and execute HLG’s participation in community events, sponsorships, and firm-hosted programs statewide.
• Build and maintain relationships with community organizations, nonprofits, chambers of commerce, and civic groups.
• Manage event logistics from initial concept through execution, including vendor coordination, collateral, staffing, and post-event follow-up.
• Identify new events and sponsorship opportunities that align with the firm’s brand and community values.

Public Relations & Brand Engagements

• Support media relations efforts including drafting press releases, responding to media inquiries, and coordinating interviews or features.
• Coordinate attorney speaking engagements, award submissions, and thought leadership opportunities.
• Maintain consistent brand messaging across all public-facing communications.
• Assist with crisis communications as needed in coordination with firm leadership.

OUR IDEAL CANDIDATE DEMONSTRATES OUR "EPIC" CORE VALUES

• Displays E xcellence by being growth-minded, being adaptable, and always striving for greatness
• Shows P assion, care, and devotion to each client (and team member) they come in contact with daily
• Wants to I mpact their community, feeling personal fulfillment by having an indisputable effect on others
• Shows C ourage and initiative to overcome the unknown

EDUCATIONAL/EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS

• Bachelor’s degree in marketing, communication, or related field.
• 3+ years of experience in social media management, marketing communications, PR, or a closely related role.
• Strong communication skills and writing skills, with an eye for detail and storytelling.
• Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines with minimal supervision.
• Demonstrated ability to create engaging content independently across multiple platforms.

Why You’ll Love It Here

We offer a supportive, in-office team that values collaboration along with:

• A comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, dental, and vision benefits, paid time off, 401k, paid parental leave, and pet benefits program.
• A flexible full-time schedule designed around core hours.
