Social Media Manager

We are looking for people who want to use their skills to fight for democracy!

Who We Are

Unruled Masses is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit public-interest intelligence organization focused on exposing corruption, abuse of power, and systemic exploitation—while helping communities peacefully reclaim agency, accountability, and civic life.

We combine rigorous intelligence tradecraft with public-facing analysis, community education, and real-world civic action. Our work is published globally through reports, newsletters, social media, and live and recorded webcasts. But our mission goes beyond exposure: we aim to help people reconnect, organize, and act together—grounded in facts, not fear.

We aim to serve as a support network for all those suffering under captured institutions and markets focused on extraction rather than the delivery of public value.

Who You Are

You are thoughtful, disciplined, and motivated by truth, accountability, and public empowerment. You understand that social media is not just about engagement—it’s about responsibility, accuracy, and trust.

You care deeply about combating corruption, disinformation, and abuse of power. You are comfortable working independently, but value collaboration with researchers, analysts, and organizers. You believe good information should reach people clearly, ethically, and at the right moment.

You may come from social media management, digital communications, journalism, advocacy, or movement organizing—or you may be building experience in these areas and seeking meaningful, real-world application of your skills.

You believe storytelling matters. You also believe credibility is non-negotiable.

• Manage and grow Unruled Masses’ presence across social media platforms, ensuring consistent voice, accuracy, and mission alignment.
• Translate complex research, intelligence briefs, and investigations into clear, compelling, and responsible social media content.
• Coordinate closely with analysts, editors, and action coordinators to support campaigns, reports, alerts, and civic actions.
• Develop content calendars aligned with publishing schedules, campaigns, and community events.
• Monitor conversations, trends, and platform dynamics relevant to corruption, accountability, civic action, and public-interest intelligence.
• Engage respectfully with the public, amplify verified information, and help foster constructive dialogue and community trust.
