• Partner with internal subject matter experts to turn their knowledge into compelling social posts.
• Coordinate with internal contributors and influencers already supporting content creation.
• Work alongside agencies and internal teams involved in social delivery from end to end.
• Identify organic posts with strong performance potential that can be boosted through paid media.
• Support early-stage efforts in new and experimental advertising channels.
• Use social management tools actively, with a strong emphasis on Sprout Social.
• Collaborate with teammates responsible for publishing and scheduling.
• Adapt comfortably to changing tools, processes, and workflows.
• Contribute to social planning for one major annual corporate event and about 10 large recruitment or brand events each year across the U.S. and Canada.

• 2 to 3 years of experience in social media, content strategy, or digital marketing.
• Strong organizational and project management capability.
• Deep familiarity with social platforms, trends, and audience behavior.

• Hands-on experience with Sprout Social.
• Good judgment and the ability to interpret nuance and context in content.

Preferred Background

• Experience supporting social efforts for events or large campaigns is a plus.
• Exposure to paid social strategy or media planning would be beneficial.
• Experience working with agencies or influencer programs is advantageous.
