The social media editor is an integral part of our tiny team, overseeing all social media platforms and working very closely with the Site Director to ensure the brand is represented on social in its best, most compelling, most growth-oriented light.

The ideal candidate is obsessive about smart growth strategies (concepting them, testing them, and analyzing them), focused on growing the site’s traffic and reach, and editorially savvy—this person can write in the brand’s voice and think with the brand’s brain.
We’re looking for someone who sees social media as an exciting editorial space of its own—a place to develop new franchises and engage with readers in perpetually evolving, fun ways. This person should be self-motivated, ambitious, creative, and collaborative.
