    Job Description

    Are you passionate about storytelling, videography, digital media, and making an impact through creative content? Iowa DOT’s Office of the Director is looking for a digital content intern to work alongside a collaborative team of graphic designers, web designers, and a social media specialist. In this role, you’ll help shape how the public sees and understands the Iowa DOT by creating engaging multimedia content across a variety of platforms.

     

    In this position, you will be responsible for representing the Iowa DOT brand to the public and work to promote a positive reputation for the agency.

    + Support the creation and editing of podcast episodes (e.g., script prep, sound editing, publishing)

    + Contribute to brainstorming and planning for social media content and campaigns

    + Capture and edit content for web and digital platforms

    + Repurpose technical or complex information into content that is accessible, visual, and engaging
