Job Description

• Support the day-to-day creation and scheduling of social content across Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky, and other emerging platforms. • Draft clear, engaging, on-brand copy for social posts, events, and other initiatives as needed. • Help adapt Edutopia articles, videos, and resources for social-friendly formats (e.g., quote cards, clips, carousels, and polls). • Maintain and update social content calendars, ensuring posts align with the school year, timely topics, and key campaigns. • Bring fresh, audience-first ideas to the table, proposing new formats and content concepts inspired by trends, insights, and what’s resonating with educators. • Monitor comments, replies, and messages across social channels and help ensure educators feel welcomed and heard. • Proactively surface user-generated content (UGC) that highlights authentic educator voices, and pitch posts that showcase that content. • Track common questions, themes, and pain points you’re seeing in the community and share those insights with the marketing and editorial teams. • Use analytics tools and platform insights to help understand what’s resonating and when our audience is most engaged. • Contribute observations and help craft weekly reports that help us refine our social programming and community approach over time. • Support teammates on special projects, events, and engagement initiatives (for example, live chats, AMAs, or conference coverage).

Job Requirements

  • 1–2 years of experience supporting social media and/or online community efforts for an established brand, digital media company, or nonprofit (internships and part-time roles count).
  • Experience collaborating with creative teams (e.g., editors, designers, video producers, content marketers) to share digital content with wide audiences.
  • Comfort using social media management tools (such as Sprout Social, Later.com, ManyChat, or similar platforms).
  • Curious, creative thinker and doer who enjoys testing new ideas (with guidance) and learning from results.
  • Strong writing skills and a clear, friendly, professional tone in social copy.
  • Genuine interest in educators’ experiences and a respectful, empathetic approach to community interactions.
  • Highly organized, with the ability to juggle multiple posts, channels, and deadlines.
  • Problem-solver who can recognize when to respond directly and when to escalate.
  • Proactive, reliable, and comfortable working in a distributed, remote team.
  • Experience moderating online communities or managing comments and DMs on high-traffic accounts (preferred).
  • Comfortable working remotely with tools like Slack, Trello, Zoom, and Google Workspace (preferred).
  • Basic understanding of social analytics and how to interpret performance metrics (preferred).
  • Familiarity with preK–12 education topics, trends, and common educator challenges (preferred).
