Social Media Manager and Content Writer

Widefoc.us is looking for a talented, strategic thinker who can create scroll-stopping content and write well but also understands how to use social media to tell a brand story and drive results — starting part-time and possibly moving to full sometime this year.

Note: Please read all the way to the bottom — applicants who don't follow instructions will not be considered. If you don't include a cover letter, we won't consider your application.

WideFoc.us community managers are responsible for curating, writing, delivering, and publishing posts across platforms — Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, and Pinterest. They engage with online communities and work closely with assigned clients.

The ideal candidate for this position is an organized, detail-oriented communicator who has solid time management skills and works well under limited supervision. You must be a self-starter, can work both independently and with a team, and appreciate working for a small company with a “startup” mindset. You may need to be "on call" beyond regular work hours if something comes up.

Responsibilities:
• Participate in regular client strategy meetings
• Communicate with clients weekly and sometimes daily
• Manage multiple social media platforms
• Curate relevant content for client brands
• Write and post daily and real-time content
• Engage in two-way, online conversation with target audiences for assigned accounts
• Monitor assigned channels for customer service and online reputation issues
• Write, strategize, and support paid social campaigns
• Draft blog content

Requirements:
• Excellent writer, proficient in proper grammar, punctuation, and syntax
• Can create fun, on-brand video content like Reels and TikToks
• Skilled in interpersonal communication — able to build relationships with clients
• Ability to respond to social media replies and complaints with messaging that fits the situation (critical information and messaging will be provided)
• Familiarity with social media platforms, such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X (ugh), Pinterest, TikTok, Threads, and others

Ideal candidates will:
• Have experience in using social media tools for business, including developing and managing social media strategy and communities
• Have previous client and account management experience
• Be chameleon-like in their ability to write in the distinct voices of their client’s brands
• Be able to write and produce intriguing social posts and blog posts
• Enjoy creating and consuming new content types, including Stories and Reels
• Know how to help clients and others understand the value of our social media outreach and engagement

Experience:
• Social media marketing: 3 years (Required)
• Social media management: 3 years (Required)
• B2B experience a bonus but not essential

You’ll need to supply your own computer. Initiative, creativity, and inspiration are appreciated. Agency experience is a bonus, but solo practitioners are also encouraged to apply!

Work design and compensation:

Our community managers enjoy a high level of flexibility in the design of the position's workflow. Hourly pay will be determined according to the candidate's qualifications and clients assigned. This is a 90-day, contract-to-hire position so that we can both make sure you’re a good fit. You will be part-time to start with the potential to move to full-time depending on client load and performance.

To Apply:

Please send a resume, links to your social media work, at least three examples of your kick-ass professional writing, and three synonyms for the word "great" (we think it’s an overused adjective). Bonus if you can share a story of a way you changed a client’s mind about social.

NOTE: Applicants who don't provide all materials requested will not be considered.
