• Fact check and proofread content before launch

• Participate in weekly meetings with clients

• Write blog posts about digital strategy for ACMStrategies.com

• Work with team members to ensure clients’ needs are met

• Track results, put them into context, and produce and present professional reports to clients

• Create online actions, draft and stage emails, and provide broad digital strategy support as needed

 

Success in this position looks like:

• Adopting the varied tones and messaging of ACM clients and applying them creatively in social media content

• Communicating complicated ideas through effective and engaging content

• Being a self-starter who takes initiative and reacts quickly to ensure our clients are looked to as leaders in their fields

WORKING AT ACM STRATEGIES

The Social Media Strategist is a full-time, permanent job that can be done remotely from anywhere in the United States. The Social Media Strategist is part of the Client Services team and reports to the Director of Client Services. This is a commission-eligible role, and candidates should be prepared to sign an exclusivity/noncompete agreement.

 

Our team is fully remote and located across the United States in several time zones. We typically work standard 9 AM to 5 PM business hours (based on location), but team members work a flex schedule during peak times and when rapid-response work is required, such as during the weeks leading up to a major election. Occasional travel within the U.S. will be required.

 

Our team culture is something we take tremendous pride in. We work collaboratively so our clients can rely on multiple creative perspectives and get the best possible outcome. We’re activists in our own lives — to us, this work is personal, and we care deeply about getting results. We value one another as complex people with hobbies, passions, creativity, responsibilities, and lives outside of work.

 

We highly value diversity and are committed to building an inclusive team. We strongly encourage and seek applications from folks who are Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, as well as members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer communities. ACM Strategies provides equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants for employment without regard to race, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, veteran status, disability, or parental status.

 

REQUIREMENTS

• A solid understanding of the progressive movement and a commitment to building a more just and equitable world

• 1-2 years of professional experience managing a campaign or organization’s social media accounts

• Extraordinary attention to detail, including spelling, grammar, punctuation, and brand styles. This is extremely important to us — you should be able to post on behalf of high-profile clients without needing edits.

• A deep understanding of social media platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn

• Experience managing Facebook advertising campaigns

• The focus is to be a self-manager. This is a remote position, so you should be confident in your ability to stay on track.

 

We hope you bring one or more of these bonus skills:

• Fluency or proficiency in Spanish

• Experience working with a digital agency, labor union, political campaign, or progressive organization

• Experience working with a small team, where responsibilities may change quickly

• Experience using Action Network, ActBlue, Canva, Sprout Social, and/or similar tools

 

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

The starting salary range for this position is $50,000 to $55,000 per year, depending on experience.

• A flexible work schedule. We value our team members as whole people who actually take lunch breaks and pick their kids up from school!

• A 401k retirement plan with a 4% employer match

• 14 paid holidays

• An unlimited vacation time policy. On average in 2020, team members took more than 3 weeks of paid time off.
