Communications Coordinator

Olomana Loomis ISC, Honolulu, HI, United States


COMMUNICATIONS COORDINATOR We're looking for a Communications Coordinator - someone at the beginning of their career who sees this not just as a job, but as a path toward becoming a trusted communications professional.

To thrive here, you’ll need more than baseline skills. You should be curious, disciplined, and willing to lean into the work. You ask questions. You listen closely. You take pride in getting the details right, while learning to see the bigger picture. Most of all, you’re someone who is ready to grow because growth is expected here.

At Olomana Loomis ISC, we don’t just communicate - we help organizations navigate moments that matter.

We Are

Bold – We’re not afraid to stand out, take a position, and be heard.

Creative – We aim to be distinctive, original, and purposeful in our thinking.

Dynamic – We adapt, evolve, and move with intention in a changing world.

Olomana Loomis ISC is an integrated marketing, brand, communications, and business consulting firm. We work across strategy, storytelling, and execution - serving clients in sectors ranging from education and healthcare to energy, finance, real estate, nonprofit, and public affairs.

THE ROLE The Communications Coordinator supports client work across three core areas: project coordination, client support, and content development.

Project Coordination You help keep the work moving.

Support project timelines, deliverables, and internal coordination

Work with team members and external partners to ensure alignment and quality

Track details—deadlines, revisions, approvals—so nothing slips

Help maintain a standard of excellence across all deliverables

This is where you learn how good work actually gets done.

Client Support You help create structure and clarity for both the team and the client.

Coordinate meetings (internal and client-facing), including agendas and notes

Prepare briefs, status updates, and background materials

Conduct research to inform strategy and communications

Support account leads in keeping clients informed, organized, and moving forward

This is where you begin to understand how relationships are built and maintained.

Content Development (Copywriting) You help shape the message.

Research and draft content across formats: social media, email, web, newsletters, presentations, and more

Support storytelling for campaigns and ongoing communications

Assist in drafting media materials including news releases, talking points, and press kits

Contribute to media relations efforts, including pitches and event support

Observe and support media interviews and training sessions

This is where you develop your voice, and learn how words drive action.

What We’re Looking For

Strong writing and communication skills

Highly organized with attention to detail

Curious, coachable, and willing to learn quickly

Able to manage multiple tasks and deadlines

A collaborative mindset - you work well with others and contribute to team success

Interest in communications, media, storytelling, and strategy

This role is a starting point but it is not a small one. You’ll be exposed to real work, real clients, and real expectations. If you’re willing to put in the effort, you’ll leave this role sharper, more capable, and on your way to becoming a communications professional people trust.
