We are looking for a Social Media Manager to join and lead our social media strategy for the VAMOS Network, inclusive of storytelling, audience development, and community engagement across all of VAMOS’ social channels. This role plays a critical role in shaping, and communicating, our social media tone and voice across the entire US Soccer community.

- Lead content development and work with broader VAMOS to ensure distribution across all channels.
- Stay up to the minute on changes to social media algorithms and content trends, providing regular reports to the team on how to incorporate changes to day-to-day content and work processes.
- Work alongside the VAMOS production team to ideate, create, and deliver unique content; helping identify the best “social” content to generate from video-first productions.
- Work directly with VAMOS and MIB leadership on content strategy, including analytics synthesis, audience insights, and content trendspotting.
- Work in collaboration with other teams across Men in Blazers to execute editorial portions of content for external brand partnerships.

- Proficiency in mobile-first editing suites (CapCut, Adobe Premiere Rush/After Effects) and a keen eye for aesthetic trends that align with VAMOS’ brand identity.
- The ability to see a trending story on Reddit or Twitter and immediately translate it into 3-4 workable content angles for our channels.
- Ability to work with a remotely distributed team and flexibility to work with the soccer calendar (weeknights, weekends) around major happenings in the primary leagues VAMOS covers.
- GFOP level understanding of the current, and historical, tone of the Men in Blazers media network.
