SOCIAL MEDIA COPYWRITER

IDEAL BACKGROUND

Marketing, communications, journalism, media studies, or any discipline with a strong writing component — including students and graduates with hands-on experience managing social media in any capacity (personal brand, campus org, freelance, or internship). OPT/CPT candidates encouraged to apply.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Craft, edit, and publish compelling posts across Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, and LinkedIn that reflect CWPC's mission and voice
• Tailor content to resonate with each platform's audience — tone, format, and timing vary across channels
• Select or create visually engaging images and short video clips to pair with written content
• Keep CWPC's social pages current with initiative updates, impact stories, and community news
• Collaborate with the communications and design teams to promote events, open volunteer roles, and new tools
• Monitor and report on social media performance — engagement, reach, shares, and follower growth
• Run awareness campaigns (competitions, promotions, partnerships) to grow CWPC's online community
• Respond promptly and thoughtfully to comments and messages on CWPC's social channels

WHAT YOU BRING

• Experience writing for social media — whether in a professional role, internship, campus organisation, or personal capacity
• Strong written communication skills — concise, engaging, and adaptable to different audience voices
• Hands-on familiarity with Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, and/or LinkedIn for content publishing
• Basic understanding of SEO, hashtag strategy, and what makes content perform online
• Ability to work independently, meet content deadlines, and manage an async publishing schedule
• Curiosity about analytics — comfortable reading basic metrics like reach, impressions, and engagement rate
• Genuine interest in climate resilience, environmental advocacy, or mission-driven storytelling

BONUS IF YOU HAVE

• Experience with Google Analytics, Meta Business Suite, Hootsuite, Buffer, or similar scheduling/analytics tools
• Familiarity with paid social advertising (boosted posts, Meta Ads, LinkedIn Ads)
• Basic graphic design skills — Canva, Adobe Express, or similar — to create simple visual assets
• Prior social media work for a nonprofit, advocacy campaign, or environmental organisation
• Experience writing for a cause-driven or scientific audience

WHO THRIVES HERE

• Writers and communicators who want their words to drive real-world impact — not just likes
• Self-starters who can own a content calendar and hit publish without needing hand-holding
• International students on OPT/CPT looking for qualifying employment in Marketing or Communications with an immediate start and flexible hours
• Anyone who believes storytelling is one of the most powerful tools for social change
