Social Media Coordinator
Who you are
Youâre a master at all things social media. You love to take an overarching topic and turn it into fresh social posts – bringing ideas and suggestions to our marketing team about how to approach our social media. Youâre not just on top of the trending sounds on TikTok and Instagram, but youâre also serving up ideas on how to create content that lasts the test of time (and brings in fresh leads consistently).
Youâre warm and friendly, and that carries over to how you engage with people in our DMs when needed. If you donât know the answer to what theyâre looking for, youâll go out and find it (âcuz goodness knows weâve created a piece of content somewhere that answers their questions.)
Youâve also got some graphic design skills worth sharing â because when someone hands you an outline of the content to go on a carousel IG post, you know how to take it from outline â> graphic in a way that pops for our audience.
Your ability to analyze customer behavior through social media metrics like engagement and reach is outstanding. Your content creation and scheduling skills are superb and your experience with Asana, Planoly and Canva is unrivaled. You know how to form a âBonnie and Clydeâ level partnership with a rockinâ Graphic Designer and create Instagram magic with the content that the two of you produce. You find social media fun, and love keeping up with the latest trends and tools the platforms are rolling out. Youâre a self-starter who loves bringing new energy and fresh ideas to the team.
You see âteam playerâ and read âcollaborative partner.â As a direct report to the Marketing Manager, youâll take full advantage of both being on a team, and having the autonomy you need & want to own the majority of social media ideation, creation, and execution. You see yourself not just as a contractor, but as a partner in the overall (and expansive!) growth of the company alongside the Marketing Manager.Â
You’re also passionate about startups, female entrepreneurship, and technology. You’re subscribed to the best Social Media blogs and newsletters to constantly stay up to date on whatâs new in your field.
IMPORTANT: This role is ONLY a good fit for someone looking to embed themselves and expand their skill set within one or a handful of companies, rather than juggling a bunch of clients at once. If youâve tried running your own agency or larger business and prefer the simpler pace of going deep with one or two clients rather than spreading yourself thin with loads of clients, this might be perfect for you.
Who youâll work with
The Social Media Coordinator is a part-time contractor role, starting at 60 hours per month, with the opportunity to grow the role and hours based on how your first 90-day contract progresses. Sam Vander Wielen LLC would even consider converting this role to a full- or part-time employee, with the right person and experience.
Youâll report directly to our Marketing Manager, and collaborate consistently with our Graphic Designer, Customer Support, and Technical team members. At this time, we are only accepting applications from candidates eligible to work within the United States.
You will work remotely and should be experienced in doing so, possessing a quiet workspace that includes a reliable internet connection, cell phone, and computer. You should be available between the hours of 9am-5pm EST Mon-Fri for your duties as assigned (see the job profile for details), and should also be available for some engagement and light posting responsibilities on Saturdays and Sundays, as assigned.
You would be expected to attend a few marketing meetings per month (virtually, via Zoom).
