- Schedule, publish, and optimize posts across channels (IG, FB, TikTok, LinkedIn, X, Pinterest, YouTube Shorts—based on client needs)
- Coordinate assets, approvals, and versioning to keep work moving smoothly from draft → review → live
- Ensure accessibility and best practices (alt text, subtitles/captions, link hygiene, UTM tagging when needed)
Community Management
- Monitor DMs/comments and engage in real time using brand-approved guidelines
- Escalate customer service issues and manage sensitive conversations with professionalism
- Maintain community management playbooks (response templates, FAQs, escalation paths, crisis notes)
Reporting + Insights
- Deliver weekly/monthly reporting with performance insights tied to goals (reach, engagement, CTR, follower growth, saves/shares, video completion, etc.)
- Identify what’s working, what’s not, and what to do next—turning metrics into clear recommendations
- Track learnings across accounts and build repeatable best practices
UGC + Creator/Influencer Partnerships
- Identify UGC worth amplifying (organic posts, customer reviews, fan content) and secure usage rights
- Source creators/influencers that fit the brand (micro to mid-tier, local/niche as needed)
- Support outreach, negotiation, and relationship management (rates, deliverables, timelines, approvals)
- Manage contracts/SOWs (in partnership with leadership/legal) and ensure deliverables are met on time
- Coordinate whitelisting/usage permissions and paid amplification handoffs when applicable
Cross-functional Collaboration
- Partner with design/video, account leads, and paid media teams to align organic + paid efforts
- Participate in client meetings: recaps, recommendations, and campaign planning
- Maintain organized workflows in project management tools and keep stakeholders informed

- Strong copywriting, editing, and brand-voice skills
- Comfortable managing community engagement and sensitive issues with good judgment
