Create and/or oversee the creation of short-form video, Reels, TikToks, Stories, static content and other social-first formats. Stay current on evolving social platforms, creator culture, algorithms, formats and content trends. Support low-budget paid social initiatives, partnering with the paid media team on the approach for audience targeting, creative development and performance reporting. Use social analytics, listening and SEO insights to test, learn and continually improve content and performance.

Demonstrated experience creating engaging, social-first content across platforms such as Facebook, TikTok, Instagram and Threads. Strong understanding of platform-specific audiences, behaviors, formats and best practices. Experience in developing social media content approaches and strategies designed for specific audiences and platforms, around measurable goals. Experience using analytics and audience insights to translate performance data into actionable content and recommendations. Demonstrated experience developing social content or experiences that support fundraising, donations, events, lead generation or other conversion-focused campaigns. Excellent storytelling, copywriting and creative judgment, with the ability to adapt messaging and tone across platforms. Strong cultural and social awareness, with an ability to recognize emerging conversations and trends and using sound judgement to determine when and how a brand should participate.

The Ideal Candidate You are culturally curious, highly plugged into social, creative and comfortable experimenting. You understand why something works on TikTok but not Facebook, can spot an emerging trend before it peaks, and know how to turn a cultural conversation into meaningful brand engagement. You balance creativity with performance, understand that social can drive both awareness and fundraising, and are excited by the opportunity to help a mission-driven organization build deeper connections with its audiences. You are equally comfortable informing a social strategy, jumping in front of the camera, analyzing campaign performance, collaborating with an agency or creative partner, and rolling up your sleeves to make great content happen. You are a collaborative and generous teammate who is willing to jump in and support colleagues when needed, whether that means helping a fellow social team member meet a deadline, supporting broader digital initiatives or sharing your expertise with partners across the team. You understand that great work happens through collaboration and see yourself as a trusted partner to your fellow social media team member and the broader digital team.
