POSITION OVERVIEW
The Enrollment Communications and Digital Content Specialist manages day-to-day execution of our admissions communications program in Slate, working at the intersection of enrollment marketing, data, and content. This role pairs persuasive, on-brand storytelling with data-driven execution — building and testing email and SMS campaigns, maintaining the data dictionary and query library with our CRM captain, and keeping a reporting cadence with reliable attribution — continuously advising on how to optimize campaigns in service of our broader enrollment strategy, so senior staff can focus on funnel-wide direction and where digital marketing goes next. Beyond admissions communications, this person also makes recruitment-focused updates to website copy and manages requests from faculty and staff for email communications to families of current students.
We're looking for someone who treats this as more than a queue of send requests: someone who looks at performance data and asks what to try next, flags friction points before they're raised, and brings ideas for testing, personalization, and refinement without waiting to be asked. This is a full-time, in-person role.
PRIMARY DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES
- Email/SMS communication — Build, deploy, and manage all Slate Deliver communications for admissions, including merge fields, Liquid markup for dynamic/conditional content, and population-based logic.
- Content and storytelling — Draft persuasive, on-brand copy across email, SMS, and web that turns admissions and campus information into a compelling case for prospective students and families to act, partnering with counselors, faculty, and other stakeholders to keep it accurate and timely.
- Calendar and coordination — Manage the admissions email communications calendar (prospect through enrollment/yield), coordinating timing with recruitment, financial aid, and events, and partnering with enrollment leadership so communications complement rather than duplicate counselor outreach.
- Digital content — Keep website copy and recruitment communications aligned with the enrollment cycle and current recruitment initiatives and marketing campaigns, creating and updating content across both platforms as those priorities shift.
- Conversion optimization — Look for ways to align content with the action we want a prospect to take next, flagging friction points and recommending improvements — including new or updated lead-generation ideas — based on campaign performance data.
- Quality assurance — Test email and SMS sends for design, layout, and accurate Liquid markup rendering across devices and email clients before deployment.
- Data dictionary and segmentation — Manage and expand the admissions data dictionary and supporting query library in coordination with the CRM/data team, maintaining segment definitions (scholarship eligibility, area of interest, distance from campus, engagement history, etc.) for accurate, personalized targeting.
- Testing and reporting — Design and run a recurring A/B testing program on subject lines, send times, content, and CTAs, documenting results as institutional best practice. Establish and maintain a regular campaign performance reporting cadence — click-through rates, opt-out/spam rates, deliverability, conversions where possible (visit registrations, form submissions, etc) — with consistent UTM/source tracking for accurate attribution.
- Future focus — Pilot new tactics to build on current momentum and set us apart in the competitive landscape.
- Partner communications — Review content from our enrollment marketing partner and develop feedback and recommendations to keep messaging aligned with our brand and enrollment strategy.
- Current-family communications — Manage requests from faculty and staff for email communications to families of current students, ensuring timely, accurate, and on-brand messaging.
QUALIFICATIONS
Required
- Bachelor's degree required
- A skilled, persuasive communicator with a strong command of brand voice and guidelines — able to turn admissions and campus information into compelling, action-oriented copy across email, web, and other channels, for audiences ranging from prospective students to families of current students.
- Experience building and managing email and/or SMS marketing campaigns; direct experience with Slate, or a comparable CRM/marketing automation platform.
- Comfort working with merge fields, conditional/dynamic content logic (e.g., Liquid markup), and query-based segmentation, or a demonstrated ability to learn these quickly.
- Experience with, or aptitude for, basic website content management and copywriting for a recruitment/marketing audience.
- An analytical mindset — comfort reading campaign performance data (A/B test results, funnel and conversion metrics) and drawing practical conclusions from it.
- Excellent organization and cross-functional collaboration skills; this role coordinates closely with recruitment, financial aid, events, faculty and staff, and an external marketing partner.
- A proactive, curious approach — someone who looks for what could be tested, personalized, or improved rather than waiting to be asked.
Preferred
- Master's degree preferred
- Prior experience in higher education admissions or enrollment marketing.
- Working knowledge of HTML/CSS — comfortable editing code within email templates to add Liquid markup and show or hide content blocks without breaking the template's design or send.
- Experience building or maintaining a data dictionary or audience segmentation framework.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding OPT Sponsorship in Content Creator
Confirm your degree aligns with the role
Content Creator positions qualify for STEM OPT extension only if your degree is in a STEM-designated field like data analytics or information science. Confirm the alignment with your DSO before targeting roles that assume a 36-month timeline.
Target employers with an active EIN and DSO experience
Employers must have a valid EIN and a signed training plan to support your OPT. Smaller agencies and solo operators often lack this infrastructure. Ask HR directly whether they have experience onboarding OPT students before investing time in the process.
Frame your visa status proactively in outreach
Many content teams are unfamiliar with OPT authorization. Lead with your current work eligibility and expected end date rather than waiting for the question. This removes ambiguity early and signals that you understand the administrative requirements on your side.
Build a portfolio that demonstrates measurable impact
Employers weighing OPT paperwork need a clear reason to move forward. A portfolio showing engagement growth, conversion data, or campaign results gives hiring managers concrete evidence your work delivers ROI, making the sponsorship decision easier to justify internally.
Apply at least 90 days before your OPT expires
Content roles at larger companies often have multi-stage hiring processes that run four to eight weeks. Starting your job search at least 90 days before your OPT end date gives you enough runway to clear interviews and begin onboarding before your authorization lapses.
Identify whether the role is freelance or W-2 employment
OPT requires a bona fide employer-employee relationship, which means W-2 employment or qualifying self-employment. Freelance contractor arrangements structured as 1099 engagements generally do not satisfy OPT employment requirements, so clarify the employment structure before accepting an offer.
Content Creator OPT: Frequently Asked Questions
Do Content Creator jobs qualify for the 24-month STEM OPT extension?
Content Creator roles qualify for STEM OPT only if your underlying degree is in a STEM-designated field, such as data analytics, information technology, or digital media in certain classifications. The job title itself does not determine eligibility. Your DSO confirms whether your specific CIP code qualifies before you pursue roles that require the full 36-month window.
How do I find Content Creator jobs that are open to OPT students?
Migrate Mate lists Content Creator roles from employers who are open to hiring F-1 OPT students. Filtering by work authorization type surfaces positions where hiring managers already understand OPT requirements, which saves time compared to applying broadly and explaining your status from scratch at every company.
Can I work as a freelance Content Creator on OPT?
Self-employment is permitted on OPT under specific conditions. You must be actively running a business, not simply taking contractor assignments, and the work must be directly related to your degree field. Passive 1099 engagements with multiple clients without a formal business structure are unlikely to satisfy USCIS requirements, so consult your DSO before pursuing this path.
What employment documentation do I need for a Content Creator role on OPT?
You need a valid EAD card showing your OPT authorization period, your current I-20 with a DSO endorsement, and your passport. Your employer completes Form I-9 using these documents. If you switch employers, you do not need a new EAD, but you must report the job change to your DSO within 10 days through your SEVIS record.
What happens to my OPT if my Content Creator employer lays me off?
OPT allows a maximum cumulative unemployment period of 90 days for standard OPT, or 150 days across a STEM extension. If your employment ends, that unemployment clock starts immediately. You can continue your job search during this time, but exceeding the limit means your OPT authorization is no longer valid and you must take action to maintain lawful status.
