Job description

We have an exciting opportunity for a junior digital and social media officer. We are looking for someone who is talented, passionate and digitally savvy to assist the communications coordinator in overseeing and curating the organisation’s overall digital and social media presence.
The role calls for you to grow and refine the corporate website, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and other relevant digital profiles, in a manner that consistently communicates the organisation’s vision, mission, objectives and activities to various stakeholders, thereby increasing interest in their work and enlarging its supporter base. This position is communications focused, so whether you’re working on the publications or digital offering you need to have a great command of language and be able to write well.

It is essential that you are trained in social media and digital thought processes and execution as you need to be able to identify appropriate opportunities for social engagement. You’ll be putting together the content for that engagement, whether it be written or visual, and you will be required to push it through to the right audience on the correct social platform. You will also be responsible for measuring and reporting on the impact thereof. Knowing how to plan social and digital engagement proactively over the life of a campaign/project is critical. This is a wonderful chance to combine your passion for conservation and your working skills with a very rewarding result!
Your responsibilities will include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Graphic design (essential skill)
- Creating content schedules
- Social media scheduling
- Copywriting (blog posts, social media posts)
- Photography and videography
- Monthly reporting for clients
- Facebook paid advertising
- Community management (responding to customer queries on social media within an estimated time)
- Other ad-hoc marketing tasks
- Oversee the organisations social media platforms, with and under the guidance of the communications coordinator and senior development manager
- Take responsibility for the maintenance and development of the corporate website
- Assist with strategies for the development and maintenance of affiliated websites
- Assist with creating SEO-friendly content for websites, blog posts, social media campaigns, infographics, and campaigns
- Help to create, curate, and manage all published visual content (photographs, memes, infographics, videos)
- Assist with the design and layout of other electronic visual communications products such posters, invitations, newsletters, brochures and other end-products of multimedia and design
- Develop and maintain content schedules and a social media calendar
- Develop and expand community and/or influencer outreach efforts
- Analise key metrics and translate anecdotal or qualitative data into recommendations and plans for revising social media, content marketing, SEO and social advertising campaigns
- Compile social media and digital ROI and ROPR reports for the communications coordinator
- Stay abreast of trends and best practices in social media tools, applications, channels, design, strategy and measurements of success
