Strategy & Management (30%):

  • Develop and execute a proactive content calendar across platforms (Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Pinterest, etc.).

  • Schedule and publish all content using social media management tools (e.g., Later, Hootsuite, Sprout Social).

  • Monitor trends, audience preferences, and competitor activity to inform content strategy.

  • Track, analyze, and report on key performance metrics (engagement, reach, growth) to optimize future content.

Community & Engagement (10%):

  • Serve as the frontline voice of the brand, responding to comments, messages, and user-generated content in a timely and authentic tone.

  • Foster a positive and active online community.

  • Collaborate with influencers, brand ambassadors, and customers to co-create and share content.

Job Requirement

  • Qualifications: B.A Degree in Mass Media and Communications or related fields and 2 years of experience.

  • Experience:

    • 2+ years of professional or intensive personal experience in social media content creation.

    • Basic knowledge of graphic design principles and tools (Canva, Adobe Express).

    • Understanding of social media advertising and basic analytics.

    • Experience in NGO works

You Must Have:

A Portfolio: A strong, demonstrable portfolio showcasing original photography and video work, ideally with a focus on social media content.

Technical Proficiency:

  • Proven skill in video editing software (CapCut, Premiere Rush, Final Cut Pro, or Adobe Premiere Pro).

  • Proficiency in photo editing apps (Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop, or equivalent mobile apps).

  • Hands-on experience with Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and Pinterest as business platforms.

  • Creative Story telling: An innate ability to craft a narrative through visuals and copy that resonates with a target audience.

  • Copywriting: Ability to write clear, engaging, and on-brand captions and hooks.

What We Offer:
