Social Media Manager

yPolitics is recruiting a Social Media Manager to run our social media channels.

This is an exciting opportunity to work within the yPolitics Creative Team and help grow and shape our social media presence.

We expect the individuals to take up the role for a minimum of 1 year. This is an unpaid role.

‍

START DATE: EARLY JUNE

‍

Role:

1. Run the yPolitics social media pages by creating graphics and content for our Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok and X/Twitter
2. Build engagement with our followers on all platforms
3. The ideal candidate will be willing to record some content and appear on our social media channels.
4. Work with the Head of Socials to brainstorm new ideas and build out our social media strategy.

How is this role different to the Head of Socials role?

• The social media manager role is focused on our day to day content output, growing and improving our social media output and engaging with our followers, whilst the Head of Socials role would suit someone with more experience in this area and with a specific interest in driving our short form video content.

‍

What we're looking for:

1. Current university student (in some instances we will accept recent grads)
2. Experience with creating social media content in any context, e.g. for a university sports team or society
3. A solid background with Adobe/Canva or equivalent
4. Full of ideas for ways to boost engagement and new content ideas - we will give you lots of freedom with the role
5. Passion for politics and journalism
