Brand Communications Specialist

NC Education Lottery, Raleigh, North Carolina, United States, 27601


You love telling good stories and are relentless about getting the facts right. Juggling multiple projects and deadlines, you post a blog with the same agility and ease that you craft a compelling message for a PowerPoint slide or dash off an engaging section of the employee newsletter. At community events, you could talk for days with stakeholders, listening to their questions and providing just the right response. Whenever and however you are communicating − with words, with videos, or in person − you know your audience and how to reach it. A content creator? Yes, that’s you in the truest sense of the word. You can find stories on your own. You collect facts and data, and mine them too. You can build strong personal relationships with sources to create the content that tells the lottery’s story. If storytelling, community relations, and internal communications add up to fun for you, this PR job is for you.

This position offers a great opportunity to work with smart and talented people doing fun and interesting PR and communication projects. We are interested in your ideas on how to promote the brand of our $5 billion dollar business and share the story of how the Education Lottery helps our state. Come and grow your career in this fun, friendly and fast-paced environment!
