Job description

Job Title: Social Media Strategist (Contractor – Parental Leave Coverage)
Location: Remote (Atlanta preferred, but not required)
Start Date: July 2025
Contract Length: Approx. 3–4 months
Hours: Full-time (40 hrs/week), with flexible availability for weekend/emergency support
Pay Rate: $40-50/hour (W-2 contractor, benefits included)

Overview:

Our client is seeking an experienced Social Media Strategist to join their marketing team on a contract basis, covering a parental leave from August through fall 2025. This is a high-impact role focused exclusively on social media strategy and execution, supporting both brand and performance marketing efforts across the full funnel—from awareness to conversion.

This opportunity is ideal for a social-savvy strategist with a strong editorial eye, platform fluency, and analytical instincts, particularly in engaging 25–34-year-old audiences. You’ll join a collaborative team of brand, editorial, creative, and analytics professionals to amplify the client’s digital footprint (20M+ followers) and drive growth.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead and execute platform-specific strategies across social channels (e.g., Instagram, TikTok, X, Facebook).

• Translate marketing priorities (e.g., app features, subscription offerings) into compelling social executions.

• Collaborate with editorial, creative, PR, and analytics teams to align messaging and amplify cross-functional campaigns.

• Monitor and report on social performance; identify trends and adjust strategy in real time using tools like Sprinklr.

• Support crisis communications in close coordination with the PR team.

• Contribute to a consistent brand voice and strategy across paid and organic content.

• Participate in weekly planning and strategy meetings; serve as the primary social lead while the full-time strategist is on leave.

Qualifications:

• 5+ years of hands-on social media strategy experience, ideally for a brand with a large following.

• Deep understanding of platform best practices and audience behavior, especially among ages 25–34.

• Proven ability to translate brand or product goals into channel-specific social content strategies.

• Experience with social listening and reporting tools (Sprinklr strongly preferred).

• Comfortable supporting real-time/crisis response when needed.

• Strong cross-functional communication skills and ability to manage multiple stakeholders.

• Bonus: Experience balancing both creative and analytical workstreams.

Engagement Details:

• Contract begins in July 2025 to allow for onboarding overlap with the current strategist.

About the Team:

This is a seasoned, distributed team with members in Atlanta, New York, Austin, and the UK. While content creation is supported by other teams, this role is essential for strategic oversight and execution.

• The hourly pay range for this position (dependent on factors including but not limited to client requirements, experience, statutory considerations, and location) is $40.00 to $50.00/hr. Benefits available to full-time employees: medical, dental, vision, disability, life insurance, 401k and commuter benefits.
