Social Media Specialist

In this contract position, we are looking for someone that can provide social media strategy and execution.

Please follow the directions closely if you're interested!

Do you love diving into a new business and figuring out how to get them more followers, engagement and ultimately more business?

Would you describe yourself as someone who:

Is a top performer who loves strategy, copywriting, design and marketing challenges? An organized, self-starter who takes strategy and design tasks and runs with them? Loves to help people and make their lives easier? Design the crap out of a social media campaign with design principles and unique concepts? And believe in good usability and aesthetics?

If this describes you, then we need to talk.

In this role, you’ll be responsible for creating social media strategies, campaigns, copy and graphics. We’re constantly getting new projects with new challenges and the opportunity to help with on-going clients as they update their marketing with a new social media channel.

You'll be working with clients directly, tasked with keeping them on track, creating calendars and assets for them to approve, and helping them figure out exactly what and where they should be putting their social media efforts. We want to help them get the best ROI for their social strategies.

We welcome you to join our 100% remote (always) team that works on flexible schedules. You can work when you want, from where you want, as long as we have some overlap with Pacific time.

Our excellent culture embraces diversity and inclusion and encourages a healthy work/life balance. You will also enjoy positive team experiences and benefits like:

Quarterly remote parties, let the fun begin!
Quarterly snack boxes right to your front door.
The occasional, random virtual happy hour.
When times are good, a yearly in-person meet-up.
Yearly courses to improve your skills.
Quarterly bonuses for work done well.
Excellent pay scale.
