Social Media Editor

MediaShift is looking for a social media editor who will help promote MediaShift content, trainings and events on our social media feeds — mostly on Twitter and Facebook. The primary responsibility will be running the various Twitter feeds, such as @MediaShiftorg and @MediaShiftPod, running our Facebook page, writing up social promos each weekday and scheduling them on Buffer. You will also give us monthly reports on how our social media promotion has worked out, with strategic ideas on how to improve those.

This is a contract job that you can do from your own home or office. We prefer that you are a full-time freelancer, and don’t have a current full time job.

Hours: About 40 hours per month.

Job Requirements

> 3 years of editorial experience with a publication with 75,000 unique visitors/month or more.
> Excellent social media experience (3+ years) with Twitter and Facebook.
