Digital Content Coordinator

The role

The City of Beaverton’s Communications and Community Engagement Division is seeking a Digital Content Coordinator to oversee the city’s website and digital communication platforms. In this role, you will serve as the main caretaker of the city’s public digital presence, partnering with the Information Technology and Services Department to keep tools reliable, secure, accessible, and easy for residents to use.

This position is a key part of an upcoming website redesign. It will focus on improving and reorganizing web content, strengthening accessibility, and creating a digital experience that is intuitive, engaging, and responsive to the Beaverton community. You will also support content contributors across departments and use performance data to guide ongoing improvements.

Work schedule and arrangement

This is a full-time, non-exempt, SEIU-classified role. The standard schedule is mostly Monday through Friday during city business hours, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Occasional evening or weekend availability may be needed for meetings, community events, or urgent web content needs. After successful completion of probation, the position may allow up to two remote workdays per week.

The classification for this position is Program Coordinator, and there is one opening.

What you will do

You will coordinate city digital content so it remains accurate, timely, accessible, easy to navigate, and aligned with communication priorities. The work includes creating engaging digital assets such as stories, graphics, videos, and interactive content that help raise awareness of city programs and services.

You will also help shape and maintain content standards, style guidance, and best practices for user experience, plain-language writing, and accessibility. A citywide editorial calendar will be part of your responsibilities, along with planning content in coordination with city departments.

In addition, you will turn complex policies, projects, and program details into clear public-facing content for the web, social media, and other channels. You will support outreach campaigns, major initiatives, public engagement efforts, and emergency communications through effective digital storytelling.

Website governance is another core part of the role. You will help keep content consistent and compliant, advise contributors from other departments on writing for the web and using multimedia, and review content performance, engagement, and user behavior to recommend improvements.

The position also includes planning and tracking social media activity, supporting digital outreach campaigns, monitoring trends and new technologies, and working closely with communications, IT, and other city teams to keep workflows and tools aligned with communication goals.

You will be expected to reflect the city’s values of customer service, respect, teamwork, and inclusive communication, and to represent the city in public and city meetings with cultural awareness.

Candidate profile

The ideal applicant is a strong communicator who can make complex information understandable and relevant for residents. Experience with large, content-rich websites is important, especially if you have reorganized content, improved user experience, and applied ADA/WCAG accessibility standards.

You should be comfortable using content management systems, analytics tools, and basic web technologies, and able to work effectively with IT partners. The city is also looking for someone who enjoys coaching colleagues, can help other content creators improve their work, and approaches digital communication with a community-centered, culturally aware, plain-language mindset.

Success in this role also depends on adaptability, curiosity, and the ability to handle large amounts of information, shifting priorities, and cross-department collaboration. Experience with storytelling as part of public communications will be an asset.

Minimum qualifications

An associate’s degree in communications, digital media, public relations, graphic design, information technology, or a related field is required, along with four years of experience creating, managing, or coordinating digital content, websites, or multimedia. A combination of education and experience that demonstrates the ability to perform the role may also be considered.

Applicants must be able to complete reference checks, confirm education history, and meet background check requirements.

Compensation and benefits

The hourly pay range for this position is $34.43 to $46.14. Starting pay depends on relevant work experience and compliance with Oregon Equal Pay Act requirements. Candidates who meet the minimum qualifications begin at step one, while those with clearly additional directly related experience may be placed at a higher step within the range.

The city offers a strong benefits package for regular employees, including full employer-paid retirement contributions to the Oregon Public Employees’ Retirement System (PERS), participation in a deferred compensation retirement plan, public service loan forgiveness support, tuition reimbursement, health/dental/vision/life insurance, generous paid time off, PTO cash-out options, wellness programs and incentives, an employer-funded HRA VEBA, an Employee Assistance Program, and bilingual pay premiums.

Application notes

Applications must be completed through the employer’s online application process, including work history and supplemental questions. A resume or cover letter does not replace the need to fully complete the application.

Applicants are encouraged to apply even if they do not meet every listed qualification, as the city is open to candidates with non-traditional backgrounds and experience that supports the role’s performance objectives.
