Social Media Communications Specialist jobs in Jackson, MS

Company Description

Job Description

Creative Studio collaborates with teams across Block to communicate big ideas and translate brand narratives into creative work. As an in-house team of designers, writers, and producers, we combine art, design, and storytelling to create everything from campaigns and identity systems to interactive experiences and 3D and motion work.

As our Social Media Manager, you will partner closely with writers and designers across Creative Studio as well as stakeholder teams such as Comms, I&D, Investor Relations, and others. This is truly a unique opportunity to unlock your creativity and create inspiring and intriguing content that pushes past the norm and into the digital frontier. No idea is too out there.

When it comes to our social channels we regularly fall down rabbit holes, revel in double meanings and deep cuts, and take deep dives into the weird, meta nature of the very online community. We stay humble and grounded, and find ways to open our community to everyone. If your brain vibrates at this frequency, join us on this wild ride.

This role will report to the Editorial Lead. For consideration, please send over several work samples that give us a sense of your range. We’re interested in seeing creative work and personal projects in addition to your professionally published words.

You Will:

• Be the voice of Block on our social channels and help build out that voice amongst our various audiences
• Build and manage social media content from concept to execution across all our Block social channels
• Collaborate closely with our full team to develop creative campaigns and social assets
• Scout out the latest creative trends and culturally relevant moments to help build insightful content
• Continue to build out and refine our social media strategy working closely with the Editorial Lead and cross-functionally across the team
• Speak to our purpose of economic empowerment through engaging and impactful content
• Maintain a flexible content calendar, working in partnership with key stakeholders across the company to identify relevant opportunities
• Work with other social media leads and comms partners across the company to ensure messaging is aligned and any issues are raised
• Report on analytics and social sentiment

Qualifications

You Have:

• 5-6 years of relevant experience
• A witty, quizzical, and sometimes geeky personality
• Natural organizational skills — the devil is in the details, and you don’t miss a thing
• Experience in managing social channels and developing digital content for a brand
• Strong interest in economic empowerment, technology, and finance
• A proven track record of building communities online

Nice to Have:

• Experience interviewing people and writing profiles
• Video and scriptwriting skills
• Experience in crisis communications on social media
