The Foundation
We are the largest nonprofit fighting poverty, disease, and inequity around the world. Founded on a simple premise: people everywhere, regardless of identity or circumstances, should have the chance to live healthy, productive lives. We believe our employees should reflect the rich diversity of the global populations we aim to serve. We provide an exceptional benefits package to employees and their families which include comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage with no premiums, generous paid time off, paid family leave, foundation-paid retirement contribution, regional holidays, and opportunities to engage in several employee communities. As a workplace, we’re committed to creating an environment for you to thrive both personally and professionally.
The Team
The Channels & Audience Engagement team is responsible for managing and/or supporting the bulk of the foundation’s flagship and ELT channels, the foundation’s website, our email program, and our web-based storytelling platform, Ideas. Our work requires constant and close collaboration with stakeholders across and outside the foundation. Channels & Audience engagement sits within the broader Global Content & Campaigns team and, in turn, under the overarching Global Communications Division.
Your Role
As the Associate Communications Officer – Social Media (Limited Term Employee "LTE") you will be a member of the Channels & Engagement team. You will also have a dotted line to the Discovery Center team.
The ACO – Social Media (LTE) will spend approximately 50% of their time supporting the flagship social media channels and platform infrastructure and 50% of their time owning the social media channels for the foundation’s Discovery Center.
In addition to knowledge of social media channels and enterprise tools for digital channel management (specifically Opal and Khoros), this position requires confirmed project and time management skills as well as the ability to work on multiple project strands and priorities at once.
Strong candidates for this role will have successfully led social media channels for non-profits, cultural institutions, or other large organizations including experience managing; scheduling and posting content; developing content and social media plans; engaging in comments and conversations; and exploring—and testing—new tactics to engage audiences that span the foundation’s priority audiences (not broad public) and geographic locations. This is a limited-term position for 9 months and a backfill for the incumbent, who will be on parental leave during much of the specified time period. As part of the 9 months, we intend to allow an overlap with the incumbent during both on- and off-boarding.
