Overview

We’re looking for an energetic and experienced Social Media Editor to create social content across Morning Brew’s social handles. The job is perfect for someone who’s obsessed with business news and is knee deep in social media and internet culture. 

The ideal candidate is clever, creative, and extremely online. The role demands social media fluency and the ability to create content that feels native to each individual platform. You thrive in a deadline-driven environment and love building big audiences. Also critical: impeccable editorial judgment, excellent writing skills, and a deep understanding of business news, from power players and market movers to the future of work. 

This role is primarily responsible for ideating, producing, and posting best-in-class content for Morning Brew’s Twitter and Instagram accounts. You’ll work closely with management and peers to bring strategies to life and, in turn, grow the Brew’s platform presence and user engagement. You should be a natural collaborator who’s comfortable working with a variety of stakeholders across multimedia, editorial, growth, and analytics teams. Organizational and multitasking skills will be key to maintaining publishing workflows, calendars, and schedules.

We have an ambitious roadmap for expansion and the Social Media Editor will be instrumental to our plans by launching new handles, experimenting with new ideas and initiatives, and finding creative ways to meet our content goals. The role is editorial, strategic, and tactical. A bias to action and flexibility are a must. 

Experience working in digital media, preferably in a publishing environment, is strongly preferred.
