Job Description

COMPANY PROFILE

CodeAI is an education innovation nonprofit dedicated to the vision that every student in every school has the opportunity to learn about artificial intelligence (AI) and computer science (CS) as part of their core K-12 education. We increase participation in AI+CS education by reaching students of all backgrounds where they are — at their skill level, in their schools, and in ways that inspire them to keep learning, with a focus on increasing participation by young women and students from other underrepresented groups. The leading provider of K-12 AI+CS education curriculum across the globe, CodeAI also organizes the annual Hour of AI campaign, building on the legacy of the Hour of Code, which has engaged more than 15% of all students in the world!

CodeAI's global role in the K-12 computer science movement is only possible because we use a unifying approach across diverse and often divided stakeholders. At a time of increasing polarization, the idea of increasing opportunity for students unites people from across the political spectrum. CodeAI's team members, students, teachers, and supporters have diverse and diverging view points, and they are all welcome in our mission. Read more .

CodeAI is looking for a strategic, creative Senior Social Media Strategist to lead our social media efforts.

In this role you will:

Strategy & Planning

• Build the channel-specific playbooks, policies, and content plans that align our social presence with CodeAI's marketing and mission goals.

• Lead and collaborate with an agency to sharpen strategic thinking and drive strong execution.

Community Engagement

• Grow CodeAI's online community through authentic conversations, timely responses, and proactive engagement — initiating discussions, responding to comments, escalating issues, and keeping the space positive.
• Amplify executive presence and thought leadership at conferences, keynotes, and high-visibility events through strategic social coverage.
• Develop and execute promotion for livestreams, webinars, workshops, and other live events — from pre-event buzz to live coverage to post-event recaps.

Partnerships & Collaboration

• Identify, build, and nurture relationships with influencers, partners, organizations, and community groups to expand our reach and engagement.
• Partner with designers, copywriters, and other in-house creators to produce engaging multimedia content.
• Work with advertising and PR leads to advise on social advertising, influencer relations, and other opportunities to amplify our outreach.

Measurement & Insights

• Fluency with social media platforms and the management and analytics tools that run them.
• A real, current interest in AI and computer science. You follow where the technology is going and can turn it into content that's credible to both educators and technical audiences without overselling what the technology can do.
• Sharp written and verbal communication and strong presentation skills — you can make a point land with an executive audience and a comment thread alike.
• A track record of collaborating effectively across internal teams and with external partners and agencies.
• [Bonus] Experience managing influencer engagement, social ads, or live events.

• Be a U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident
