Are you the kind of person who loves keeping a team connected with engaging stories? Do you love turning everyday updates into something people want to read? Can you make even the most routine company news sound exciting?

If the answer to all those questions was a resounding YES, then you're EXACTLY who we're looking for to join our Communications team!

This person will be a key player in managing DSI's internal voice across multiple platforms (internal newsletter, intranet, etc.). The Communications Coordinator will also lend a hand with some of the team's other duties and work closely with several other departments.

The Communications team has grown in a big way over the past 3 years and works with every division within the company. This is a brand-new role designed to focus on some of our key projects and is perfect for someone who is a strong writer and editor, who is driven to do top-notch work, and who understands how to meet firm deadlines. You'll also get a chance to learn all the ins and outs of the company and see that our people are what makes DSI so successful.
