About the Role

As a Senior Communications Specialist on the Bond Program & Community Economic Development team, you will be the voice and bridge between the Program Management Office (PMO), District staff, college teams, and our broader community. You will inform, inspire, and build understanding through transparent, well-crafted messaging. You will lead internal communications, drive awareness of program milestones, support safety messaging, and help make our BuildLACCD Internship & economic development efforts shine.

Key Responsibilities

  • Become deeply familiar with all active bond‐program projects, all nine LACCD colleges, and associated initiatives—and translate technical and project updates into clear, timely, and compelling communications.
  • Serve as the key point of contact for safety department messaging : draft and distribute weekly “Toolbox Talks,” safety alerts, and related content.
  • Collaborate with PMO and College Project Teams (CPTs) to craft and share District news, program updates, compliance‐related information, and project milestones.
  • Develop content and materials for staff meetings, project briefings, dashboards, Board reports, newsletters, news alerts, and project notifications, ensuring consistency, clarity, and alignment.
  • Support creation and delivery of presentations, briefing papers, talking points, and speaking remarks for leadership and external stakeholders.
  • Manage and coordinate the BuildLACCD Internship Program—supporting outreach, program logistics, communication with interns and campuses.
  • Assist the Community Economic Development department in vendor / business outreach—help enhance LACCD’s reputation as “Owner of Choice” in the contracting and vendor community.
  • Review all external materials (brochures, web content, reports, news releases) for accuracy, completeness, brand voice, and consistency.
  • Provide support as needed to the Communications Director in gathering or responding to bond‐program content or information requests.

Requirements

What We’re Looking ForMinimum Qualifications

  • Experience organizing and leading large meetings : arranging speakers, developing support materials, managing logistics.
  • Proficiency with communication tools / software, and basic design tools (e.g. PowerPoint, Adobe Creative Suite or equivalents) to develop, format, and disseminate content.
  • Ability to craft communication strategies that build internal culture and improve transparency and flow of information within a large bond or capital‐projects program.
  • Strong interpersonal skills : able to communicate professionally, sensitively, and diplomatically with internal stakeholders (staff, leadership, colleges) and external audiences (students, community, vendors).
  • Capable of performing under pressure, managing competing deadlines, and adhering to District policies and protocols.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Communications, Sociology, Business Administration, or related field.
  • Ability to occasionally lift up to 10 lbs (e.g. materials, equipment, etc.).
  • Preferred

  • Master’s degree in Communications, Sociology, Business Administration, or related field.
  • Prior experience working in higher education or District / government settings.
  • Why Join Us

  • Make an impact : be central to how LACCD communicates to thousands—college staff, students, vendors, and the wider community—about programs that matter.
  • Cross-functional exposure : work with safety, project management, economic development, campus teams, executive leadership.
  • Growth opportunity : expand your skills in strategic communications, project-based outreach, community relations, internal culture building.
  • Be part of a mission : helping LACCD build stronger infrastructure, stronger communities, and stronger future opportunities.
  • Benefits

    Benefits :

    100% paid health insurance, 401K match and profit sharing.

    Join our team and contribute to the successful execution of a diverse portfolio of projects that shape the future of our organization. If you are a proactive, detail-oriented professional with a passion for project management, we encourage you to apply.
