Community Strategist - Social Media

The Opportunity

Looking for a short-term opportunity to work behind the scenes with a highly recognizable global consumer brand during one of its biggest moments of the year?

We're seeking a Community Strategist to join a fast-moving social team for an approximately two-month contract. You'll help manage the conversations happening around the brand in real time, engage with a highly active audience, and support social content operations as engagement ramps up around a major, highly visible brand event.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who loves social media, internet culture, community building, and real-time engagement and wants hands-on experience supporting a major consumer brand during a high-profile moment.

What You'll Do

• Support day-to-day community management across major social platforms, with increased focus on YouTube.
• Monitor comments, mentions, conversations, trends, and audience sentiment.
• Engage with fans and followers in a timely and authentic brand voice.
• Spot opportunities for the brand to join relevant conversations in real time.
• Support social publishing and content operations.
• Identify emerging trends, audience reactions, and engagement opportunities.
• Surface notable fan conversations, feedback, and user-generated content.
• Escalate sensitive or high-priority conversations when appropriate.
• Collaborate closely with social, content, creative, and marketing teams.
• Help the team stay responsive during periods of increased social activity.

What We're Looking For

• 2+ years of experience in social media, community management, social engagement, or digital content.
• Hands-on experience working with platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, X, or similar channels.
• Strong understanding of social trends, internet culture, and how audiences interact with brands online.
• Excellent writing skills and the ability to quickly adapt to an established brand voice.
• Ability to recognize when a conversation represents an opportunity - or when it needs to be escalated.
• Comfortable working quickly in a high-volume, highly visible environment.
• Strong organization and attention to detail.

Bonus Points

• YouTube community management experience.
• Experience supporting fashion, beauty, retail, lifestyle, entertainment, or other consumer brands.
• Experience with social listening, publishing, or community management tools.
• Experience supporting major launches, events, or cultural moments.

Why This Opportunity?

This may be a short-term assignment, but it offers the chance to make an immediate impact with a major consumer brand during a high-profile moment. You'll gain hands-on experience with large-scale social engagement, work alongside an experienced social team, and contribute to conversations happening across some of today's biggest platforms.
