Are you plugged into Instagram trends? Facebook savvy? Quick with a Tweet on X? Above all, can you engage audiences across different verticals? We're looking for a Social Media Associate to join Whirlwind and create content for a range of clients, including some exciting work in podcast marketing and video.
What You'll Do
- Create, monitor and manage client profiles and pages across Instagram, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, YouTube and more
- Write and post captions, Tweets, updates and other copy, tailored to each platform rather than copy-pasted across them
- Research social media trends, tools and platform updates, and recommend how clients should use them
- Reply to comments and messages, and actively engage with audiences on the profiles we manage
- Track growth and report on the impact of social media efforts, with a clear sense of what's working and why
- Support podcast marketing for select clients: help identify which segments should become shorts, write platform-specific captions and Tweets, and support distribution
- Research thumbnail trends and reference styles, and bring ideas to our design team on what tends to drive clicks
- Help edit shorts and basic video content when required, coordinating with our editing team but able to pitch in directly if timelines are tight
- Put together simple social media videos using stock footage for clients who don't have raw material to work with
- Communicate directly with clients, and coordinate with the design and editing team on deadlines and deliverables
Qualifications
- 6-12 months of related experience
- Graduate in Marketing, Communication, Journalism, Art or Business preferred
- Excellent written and verbal communication, with strong editing and proofreading skills
- Detail-oriented knowledge of social media: Instagram, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, YouTube, blogs, etc.
- Comfortable picking up basic video editing or design tools (e.g. CapCut, Canva) when needed
- Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple accounts and deadlines
Desired Skills & Experience
- Strong interpersonal skills
- Ability to meet deadlines
- Ability to work effectively on a team and independently
- Curious and analytical: keen to understand what's working and why, not just report the numbers
- Willing to learn and grow
