Social Media & Video Manager

RepresentUs • Washington, DC

4d • $78,000 - $108,450 • Remote

About The Position

The Social Media and Video Manager is responsible for day-to-day creation and management of the social media program as well as execution of social media campaigns and strategies for RepresentUs, including through collaboration on and creation of video content. The person in this role works with the VP of Advocacy and Communications, the CEO, and other colleagues to operationalize the vision for shaping public narratives about corruption and accountability, and growing our social audiences, reaching millions of Americans with creative campaigns and educational content that matters.

Requirements

• Storytelling skills that make complex accountability and corruption narratives land with people who don't follow politics closely.
• Genuine enthusiasm for the mission and appetite to learn the substance and get others engaged with it.
• Strategic thinker who can zoom out to "is this actually moving the narrative and the mission" — not just "how do we get more likes/followers/impressions."
• Ability to work closely with organizational leadership to translate their voice, ideas, and messaging into compelling content, while bringing independent creative ideas to the table.
• Demonstrated ability to communicate clearly about shared values, while reaching people across ideological lines — this is not a partisan communications role.
• Strong collaborator who works well within and across teams
• High level of initiative, ready to come to the table with new ideas, or run with those agreed on.
• Comfort with message testing — running A/B tests, iterating content based on what the data says is landing, and translating research or audience insights into what actually gets posted.
• Sophisticated, current understanding of how the social media and content creation landscape is shifting, including as a result of AI, and the adaptability to keep evolving as the landscape does.
• Proven track record of growing social media programs and creating content from beginning to end — including campaign analysis and measurable results against organizational goals.
• Experience managing paid social media campaigns and creating, editing, and producing videos for social media.
• High level of organization, including experience managing and leading multiple projects at once.
• High attention to accuracy, fact-checking and other detail; spelling and grammar snobs are encouraged to apply.
• Excellent design and copywriting skills.
• Ability to work well under pressure, meet tight deadlines, and stay organized to get a campaign out the door.
• All employees must be able to operate a computer and use a cell phone.
• For roles that include frequent business travel expectations, we can discuss reasonable alternatives to travel in some instances.
• Most roles also require communicating with key external stakeholders of the organization in person, via the telephone, or via email.
• Working from a computer for long periods of time;
• While performing the duties of this job, the employee may also frequently be required to communicate using the telephone, email, and in person with stakeholders;
