Purpose: As a social media strategist, this individual will be responsible for creating, executing, and producing content for strategic social media campaigns in collaboration with our communications team members.

Many of Denny Civic Solutions’ clients are organizations looking to advance a public policy issue.

We strongly encourage people from underrepresented groups to apply.

• Graphic design: in addition to producing eye-catching social media content, the social media strategist will also periodically be asked to apply their design skills to final drafts of various types of printable materials: “one-pagers” outlining a client’s advocacy issue; marketing collateral for Denny Civic Solutions; proposals for potential clients; and research reports.
• Along with our team, actively participate with new proposal development by gaining an understanding of client objectives - specifically relating to social media strategies.
• Prepare reports as needed by clients summarizing social channel metrics and general effectiveness of social campaigns.
• Work closely with team members to integrate and maintain cohesive social media strategy.
