Aes Sedai
Overview
The Social Media Manager (formerly Social Marketing Manager) is responsible for marketing TarValon.Net to non-members through social media. The Social Media Manager is responsible for developing and managing the Social Media Team. The Social Marketing Manager will work with other staff on the site as needed, including the Graphics Development Team, the Department of Events & Conferences, and the Department of Community Outreach to facilitate announcements that the organization would like shared with non-members.
This is a non-rotating administrative position within the Department of Marketing. The Social Media Manager reports directly to the Director of Marketing. Those who hold this position are eligible to earn the Administrator Merit.
Duties and Responsibilities
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
As always, if you don't meet these qualifications but are interested in applying anyway, please do so!
This position is one that requires a lot of graphics to be made, since image posts perform exponentially better than text posts. You will not be expected to create the graphics for the posts on social media, but you will be expected to have your requests in at least a week in advance. Some last-minute things can be done, but it's best not to make a habit of it. You will have the Graphics Development Team at your disposal for creating these graphics.
Having served in this role previously and still remaining in the Department of Marketing, I will be at your disposal should you need anything.
How to Apply
First, I'd like you to visit our social media pages and familiarize yourself with the content being posted.

- 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

- 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.
