We’re looking for a Social Media Specialist who genuinely enjoys the world of social media and understands how to use it to create real connections and drive results. This role is ideal for someone who doesn’t just follow trends but is excited to experiment, test, and grow across a variety of platforms.

We want someone who’s open and adaptable to all the platforms we use now and those we should be using next. If you’re already creating content for TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube Shorts, Instagram, or even newer channels — we’d love to hear from you.

Experience with WordPress and Elementor is a plus, but not a requirement.

Use tools like Canva or Adobe (or your favorites) to make content pop
Keep everything aligned with our brand, goals, and audience

Lead Generation

Use social platforms to support our lead generation efforts
Work closely with the Marketing Director to align social campaigns with broader goals
Track results and suggest ways to improve engagement and conversions

What We’re Looking For

2+ years of experience managing social media for a business or brand
Strong understanding of platforms like Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube Shorts, and others
Comfortable jumping into new platforms and figuring things out quickly
Experience creating both visual and written content
Good communication and time management skills
Familiar with tools like Canva, Buffer, Meta Business Suite, or similar
Bonus if you know WordPress and Elementor, or have worked with CRMs like Salesforce or HubSpot
