We’re looking for a dedicated Social Media Manager to help launch, manage and grow The Dodo’s Spanish language presence, with a strong focus on Facebook to start. As the number one digital destination for animal content and a top five publisher on Facebook, we have an established brand and audience in the English language — and we want someone who is excited to introduce The Dodo to a Spanish-speaking audience.

As Social Media Manager, you’ll have the exciting opportunity to cultivate our Spanish-speaking community from the ground up. You’ll lead all day-to-day operations, sweating both the small stuff -- e.g. scheduling distribution of posts -- while also having a bird’s eye view of how to build an audience, define our Spanish brand voice, optimize content and grow our page. You will report to our Senior Social Media Manager.

Please note, applications without a link to creative work(s) or a cover letter will not be considered.

Responsibilities:

• Operate all aspects of the Facebook page, from planning to scheduling to posting
• Thoughtfully localize English text to Spanish, with an emphasis on achieving a conversational, native voice rather than direct translation
• Take the lead on researching potential content partnerships with relevant brands to grow our Spanish-speaking audience
• Be a thought leader in recommending and implementing unique, relevant content that doesn’t already exist on The Dodo that will make the page resonate with a local audience
• Work closely with the editorial and video production teams to optimize content
• Play an active role in refining our overall content and distribution strategy for our Spanish presence, and help formulate tactical recommendations as the cultural and media landscape evolves

Qualifications:

• 3+ years of relevant experience with demonstrated success in social media community management, community building, social media strategies, and outreach
• Bilingual (native English and Spanish speaker)
• Strong interest in the overall mission of expanding a successful U.S.-based brand to an international audience
• A passion for The Dodo brand specifically and social media as a whole
• Good editorial judgment, writing skills, and ability to capture The Dodo’s voice in Spanish
• Strong attention to detail and time management skills are a MUST
• An aptitude for social media analytics, and the desire to connect data learnings to overall strategy in a meaningful way
• Experience with Facebook Insights and other third-party data reporting tools are a plus
• Someone who can think quick on their feet, work independently, and be resourceful when it comes to problem-solving, but who also loves to collaborate with a team
• International work experience a plus
