Content Maestro

About Unity:
At Unity Environmental University we are on a mission to make environmental education accessible and affordable to all. Our unique model combines a functional hierarchy and project-based structure through our four Sustainable Education Business Units (SEBUs) to promote collaboration and innovation (Enterprise Education, Sustainable Ventures, and In-Person Education). We prioritize our students' needs above all else, offering a variety of modalities, including in-person, and online. Our innovative and inclusive culture prepares students to tackle real-world challenges and cultivate the next generation of environmental professionals and leaders who can make a positive impact on our world.

About The Enterprise Model:
In 2017, Unity Environmental University pioneered a shift in organizational structure by embracing the Enterprise Model. This innovative model strategically segments the university into several Sustainable Education Business Units (SEBUs), each functioning with a high degree of autonomy. Designed akin to a matrix organization, the Enterprise Model combines the benefits of both centralized and decentralized management, enhancing the university's agility and responsiveness to the dynamic needs of its students and broader societal challenges.

This entrepreneurial framework fosters an environment where each SEBU operates as an independent entity, yet is interconnected with the university's core mission. The SEBUs are empowered to develop specialized programs, services, and products that directly meet the unique demands of their specific audiences.

Leadership within the Enterprise Model is both collaborative and authoritative; decisions are made efficiently at various levels, from the President to the Heads of SEBUs and Chief Officers, all incorporating feedback from relevant stakeholders. This model abolishes traditional silos and eschews the need for consensus, ensuring that no single entity can veto the decisions of another, thereby maintaining a streamlined and effective decision-making process. In this model, every faculty member reports to a Dean who oversees their daily work and performance evaluations.
 

Our Mission:
We are dedicated to delivering quality education and experiences that produce outstanding environmentally competent professionals and inspire individuals from all walks of life to steward sustainable ecosystems.
 

The Opportunity:
Unity Environmental University is seeking a forward-thinking Content Maestro to build and manage a next-generation content system grounded in clarity, adaptability, and institutional alignment. This is not a traditional communications or editorial role, it is designed for the emerging era of AI-enhanced workflows, cross-platform integration, and real-time content iteration. The ideal candidate is as comfortable navigating ambiguity as they are integrating emerging tools and insights. This role sits at the intersection of content, technology, and institutional change, with the mandate to create durable, defensible, and accessible content systems that serve real-time needs, not legacy habits. This role is designed with a growth mindset, while it will start with no direct reports, it is expected to evolve and may eventually include both direct and indirect reports. The individual must be comfortable with this evolution and understand that, as with all positions, the role may change or even end based on institutional needs.


Day to day responsibilities:

• Create, edit, and proof high-impact content to ensure accuracy, defensibility, and alignment with institutional priorities set by others.
• Accept feedback, adjust direction as needed, and focus on delivering content that meets institutionally defined objectives.
• Conduct interviews, research, and conversations with internal and external stakeholders (in person, via Zoom, or by phone, etc) to gather context and insights for content.
• Identify appropriate platforms and channels for distributing and hosting content based on intended audiences and use cases.
• Collaborate with internal teams to ensure seamless distribution.
• Maintain timelines and coordinating cross-functional content releases.
