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
Portfolio
- Interested applicants should send a portfolio to kate.kenny@adverve.us, including relevant multi-client, campaign, or brand work samples.
