Social Media Events Manager

Thomson Reuters•Frisco, TX

1d•Hybrid

About The Position

Every major legal, tax, and compliance conference is a window into what the industry is thinking, debating, and preparing for. Thomson Reuters attends these events to be part of those conversations and this role exists to make sure that presence is felt not just on the ground, but across every social platform where legal professionals are watching, sharing, and engaging. We are looking for a Social Media Events Manager who is equal parts campaign strategist, live content creator, and cross-functional connector. You know how to build anticipation weeks before an event breaks, and you're just as comfortable filming a 30-second clip on the conference floor as you are writing a speaker spotlight that stops the scroll on LinkedIn. You thrive in fast-moving environments where no two days look the same, and you understand that a great event only matters if the right people see it, share it, and remember it. You will own our full event social presence end to end for legal — before, during, and after — and be the person who ensures every event earns its full impact on social. This is a new role for Thomson Reuters that is part of the organic social media team and will have 2 direct reports.

Requirements

5-8 years of experience in social media management with a strong focus on event promotion and live social coverage
Proven ability to build and execute multi-platform social media campaigns tied to events, with measurable results
Experience collaborating with events, PR, and marketing teams in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment
Strong real-time content creation skills, including the ability to write, post, and engage live during events
Familiarity with social media management and analytics platforms such as Sprinklr, Hootsuite, or Sprout Social
Excellent project management and organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple events simultaneously
Comfortable working in a large, matrixed organization and building relationships with stakeholders across teams and geographies
