Junior Social Media Manager (Fixed Term Employment)

Ecosia is the search engine that puts its profits towards climate action. We use the power of the internet to fund tree planting, ecosystem restoration, digital sovereignty, and other solutions to the climate crisis, while building a better, more sustainable web. As a social media manager with about 2 years of experience, you’ll join our growing social team of 5, working closely with 3 creatives and the wider 11-person marketing team. Your first project will be getting to know our brand, audiences, and channels before taking on more responsibility for creating and producing your own social content. You’ll help turn everything from tree-planting footage, big climate stories, and tech/product news into content that people actually want to see and share. Please note this is a 1-year contract, covering a sabbatical leave. YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE AN IMPACT: Create and publish content across Ecosia’s social channels, from writing captions and adapting creative assets to developing original content ideas. Help shape and manage our social calendar, ensuring our channels are active, consistent, and responsive to what’s happening in the world. Work closely with our social and creative teams to turn ideas and raw assets into engaging, effective content. Build relationships with our community by responding to users across social and our email help line, escalating product issues and bringing user feedback back to the team. Experiment, learn and grow: use social trends, audience insights and performance data to improve your work and develop your understanding of brand social strategy. YOUR AREAS OF KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE: You’re fluent in social media, with a deep understanding of what works across platforms and an instinct for trends, formats and social aesthetics. You have experience developing content ideas and working with creatives to bring them to life. You’re organised and comfortable managing a social calendar, publishing schedule and multiple channels at once. You have a well-developed sense of brand, tone and voice, with advanced English copywriting skills. You’re curious, collaborative and open to testing new ideas, learning from performance and changing course when something isn’t working. You care about climate and environmental issues and are interested in the role brands can play in creating positive change. Why Ecosia? What if your job made a real difference in the climate crisis? Join Ecosia and help plant millions of trees where people and ecosystems need them most. We are a diverse team, committed to equality, equity, and inclusion, with members from various backgrounds: sexual orientations, genders, ages, races, ethnicities, nationalities, physical and mental disabilities, family structures, and religions. We offer you the opportunity to balance work with other parts of your life: flexible working hours, 30 vacation days per year (based on a five-day workweek), designated Focus Times, and remote work options.
