Job description

Travel Lane County promotes the Eugene, Cascades & Coast region to support a vibrant, year-round and countywide economy that enriches our communities. Our team is collaborative, innovative and driven by a shared commitment to serving the place we call home.

The Role

We're looking for a Communications Manager who can create clear, compelling content for key audiences and markets. In this role, you’ll help shape how Travel Lane County communicates with visitors, stakeholders and industry partners across a range of channels.

You’ll write original, audience-focused content tailored to each placement, from destination stories for potential visitors to industry updates for partners and stakeholders. You’ll adapt tone, structure and messaging to fit each placement, producing work that is inspirational, clear and motivating while keeping pace during busy seasons and high-volume production cycles.

What Makes You a Great Fit

• You write clearly and understand how to land a message. You know that different people need different messages. Whether you're writing for planners, visitors or community members, you can adjust your voice and approach while staying true to the brand.
• You care about this place. You're curious about the communities across Lane County, not just Eugene. You want to know what makes Oakridge different from Florence, and you're willing to go find out. Our best writing comes from people who are genuinely interested in what they're writing about.
• You're steady when it gets busy. A caption comes up at the last minute. Three things need routing for approval on the same afternoon. You know how to prioritize, and you don't lose the thread.
• You share the work instead of protecting it. Content here moves through a lot of hands — marketing, sales, membership, leadership. You collaborate well throughout the review process, welcome feedback as an opportunity to strengthen the final product, and provide thoughtful, constructive input that helps others.
• You have a strong eye for detail. You catch the typo, double-check the link, notice when something feels off and take pride in putting polished work into the world.
• You pitch in. We are a small team who is willing to help out wherever needed. Some days that means covering the visitor center or helping at an event. If you enjoy variety, teamwork, and contributing wherever you're needed, you'll thrive in this environment.

What to Expect

You’ll work closely with the Marketing team on projects that support visitor and meeting planner marketing, share visitor economy highlights and keep partners and stakeholders informed.

You'll join a team that works hard, supports one another, and genuinely enjoys collaborating to achieve shared goals. Expectations will be clear, along with the tools, training, and resources you need to succeed and make a meaningful impact.

Your work schedule will respect your life outside of work. Ongoing learning and career development opportunities will align with your goals. Above all, you'll be part of a culture built on trust, teamwork, mutual respect, and a sense of fun that makes coming to work rewarding every day.

Starting pay:

$55,000 per year (full-time, exempt)

Benefits include:

• Medical and dental insurance
• Paid holidays, vacation and sick leave
• Employer SEP/IRA contributions after two years
• Cell phone stipend

Work that matters
