About the Role

Adverve is engaging an independent Social Media Specialist to support multiple clients across a range of industries — from consumer brands to more highly regulated spaces like political and healthcare. This is a project-based engagement for someone who can adapt tone, voice, and content strategy across different client contexts while delivering polished, fast-turnaround work on their own schedule.

Scope of Work

Create and publish social media content across platforms for multiple assigned clients
Develop and maintain content calendars aligned to each client's cadence and priorities
Write captions, social copy, and other short-form content in each client's distinct voice
Capture and assist with content creation at client events and activities as needed
Monitor comments, messages, and audience engagement across assigned accounts
Stay current on platform trends and monitor competitive/opponent activity, flagging timely response opportunities
Work within each client's approved messaging guidelines, particularly on sensitive or regulated topics (e.g., political policy positions, health claims)
Track performance metrics and share periodic recommendations per client
Coordinate with Adverve and client teams to align content with priorities — engagement is deliverable-based, not day-to-day supervised

Qualifications

Experience managing social media accounts, campaigns, or personal/creator platforms
Strong writing and communication skills
Comfortable creating short-form content for Instagram, TikTok, X, and Facebook
Strong understanding of current social media trends and best practices
Organized, reliable, and able to work independently across multiple accounts at once
Comfortable in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment, including rapid-response turnarounds
Comfortable working within brand/messaging guidelines across different industries
Own equipment/tools for content creation
Political, healthcare, communications, journalism, marketing, or agency experience a plus, not required
