Social Media Coordinator

Company Overview

Catalyst Marketing Agency is a forward-thinking marketing agency committed to delivering innovative solutions that drive brand success. We specialize in creating impactful marketing strategies that enhance our clients’ visibility and growth.

Job Summary

We’re now looking for a part-time social media coordinator to work with our social team for about ten to fifteen hours a week. In this role, you will perform two main functions: Help plan, create, schedule, and publish content and build short-form videos for both our and our clients’ social media accounts.

Key Responsibilities:

• Helping to ideate and scope new content for social
• Building creative and short-form video briefs
• Building and managing editorial calendars
• Interfacing with clients to fulfill content needs
• Creating various post captions
• Copyediting for grammar and punctuation
• Ensuring that content speaks with the correct voice, tone, and clarity
• Leveraging the latest new platforms, tools, and features
• Publishing content on an as-needed basis
• Light community management and engagement
• Storyboarding content for video production
• Editing short-form videos for all social media channels

Anyone applying to this role should have an experiential knowledge of content strategy and social media marketing that goes beyond managing a single account. That may include working with two or more clients or managing multiple employer and/or brand accounts simultaneously.

You must also be extremely comfortable with video storytelling. This means going beyond talking head videos. We are looking for someone who knows how to use post-production editing/treatments, creative transitions, audio optimization, and music/sound effects to deliver compelling and on-brand video storytelling that creates awareness and engagement. This may include using various AI or human-developed motion graphics/animation.

Ultimately, we are looking for someone who is passionate about building a career in communications, excited about jumping in and making an impact on our team, and familiar with the nuances of communication styles across brands.

Most importantly, you must be a great communicator. We are a fully remote agency working across multiple time zones and rely on team members to proactively participate in our task management process. Understanding where you’re at is vital, and being unable to get answers for days will become a problem quickly.

This would be a nice side hustle for someone interested in getting their feet wet while retaining additional full-time employment, going to school, etc. While the role is fairly limited in terms of hours to start, additional new business will likely open up additional part-time work or even full-time social media opportunities.

Qualifications

During this process, you will have an opportunity to build, implement, and scale social media marketing strategies as part of a team and across many organizations and platforms – skills that will be invaluable to growing your career. To be successful in this role, you will need: 

• 2+ years of experience managing two or more social media accounts, preferably in the marketing or advertising industry.
• Excellent communication skills
• A very strong sense of organization and attention to detail 
• The ability to conceptualize and build a story
• To be deeply creative with a passion for people
• To understand how brands communicate
• To be extremely self-starting, reliable, and task-driven
• To have in-depth experience with platforms like Premier, Resolve, and Capcut
• To know how to format content for various social media platforms

What to Know Before Applying

• We value a work/life balance but want to be clear that our team is global, so occasional communications will require participation outside “working” hours. Conversely, as long as you’re available for occasional meetings, we are flexible with schedules, provided you are meeting deadlines.
• It’s important that you be highly communicative and able to work effectively within a distributed network of creatives and managers. This means taking the lead and getting the answers you need to complete your work—not waiting for someone to provide them.
• We value diverse opinions and expect to hear your input. You must be able to take direction, but we also want someone who is excited about contributing original ideas and iterating on them with us. We are a small team, and working quickly means frank conversations and feedback in both directions.
• The client’s vision doesn’t always align with our own. In this role, you MUST be able to manage expectations, absorb client feedback, and iterate on deliverables quickly and concisely. Where the client has an existing creative vision, you must work tactfully to move the conversation forward, gaining both the client’s and the strategist’s buy-in.
• As a small, but growing company, we all wear a lot of hats. We’re looking for someone who views this as an opportunity to grow their skillset and possibly to take on an expanded role in communications, digital marketing, or project management.

Benefits

• Paid time off and holidays
• Professional development opportunities
• A fully remote work environment

To Apply: Please tell us a little about yourself, your background, and why this sounds like a great fit for you. Please include a resume, some short-form examples of your writing, and (at least) three pieces of *short form* video content you’ve created/edited. Please mix it up between different styles, genres, and platforms. These should be links, not downloads. This can effectively be for anything – we just need to get a sense of your communications and video editing skills.

Catalyst Marketing Agency is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
