Duties and Responsibilities

  • Generate ideas for posts to make on social media.
  • As needed, hire people to fill in roles on the Social Marketing Team.
  • Work with the Editor of the Tar Valon Times to facilitate the creation of articles that will appeal to non-members.
  • Utilize a Google Calendar to plan all posts to social media at least two weeks in advance, and ideally four weeks in advance.
  • Effectively manage and delegate platform tasks to the specific team member(s) in charge of the platform.
  • Keep records of the content being posted and analyze what is working and what isn't, as well as doing end-month statistics and posts within the Social Marketing Team to update everyone

Expectations

  • Have an ability to constantly come up with ideas and not be afraid when they don't work out - social media moves very quickly, and a mistake is quickly forgotten. If something isn't working, it's okay to move on.
  • Enjoy using social media, regardless of the platform.
  • Strong initiative and motivational skills - you will be overseeing a team of people that need you to help cheer, motivate, and inspire them.
  • Must be able to work collaboratively in a team environment, and be able to receive critiques on what is working and what isn't.

Time Commitment

This position will require a decent amount of time upfront (~10 hours/week), but will then be able to slowly wind down, and with enough planning, you'll be able to manage the job with ~5 hours/week.

Qualifications

  • Must have been a member of TarValon.Net for at least six months, and you must have a passion for this community and a desire to share and promote it to the world.
  • Open to any rank, Citizen and above.
  • Familiarity with, and use of, at least one or two of the platforms that we are present on is required (if you do not already have a Facebook account, you will need to create one to be made an administrator of the page).
  • You must be able to commit to at least one year in this position - life happens, and we understand that, but a constant presence is a great asset to a team.
  • Photoshop would be very useful to have, but is not necessary.
