Role
Who you are
- 3+ years of experience in social media management, community engagement, or a related role
- Strong understanding of social media platforms, trends, and best practices, especially LinkedIn, YouTube, and Instagram
- Have a portfolio that showcases your published work across platforms (and the data behind its success)
- Have experience writing short-form copy purpose-built for social audience—and are exceptionally good at it. You’re the kind of writer whose work requires minimal edits
- A strong point of view about will (and will not) help companies stand out in social media today and in the future
- Creative mindset with the ability to generate engaging content ideas
- Proficiency in social media management tools and analytics platforms
- Want to win, but do not need others to lose to win
- Take ownership, but are willing and eager to work with others
- Know how to manage your time and energy to stay within scope and meet deadlines
- Passionate about the beauty industry and committed to fostering a positive online community
- Can’t wait to geek out about all things UX and user research
- You’re fundamentally curious about, well, everything. You need to want to talk to people and be willing to learn something from them. You also need to understand—instinctively and through data—how to create content that is honest, compelling, and useful to our audience
- You’re excited to go on solo fact-finding missions to answer questions, find sources or articles, uncover new forms of distribution, or experiment with those we currently use
- You understand that social media content is more than than a deluge of generic thought leadership across platforms. You have strong creative tendencies and enjoy translating that content into multiple forms (audio, video, images, interactive experiences, etc). You should want to understand complex topics deeply, and push yourself to explain them in fresh yet approachable and unpretentious ways
- Your command of the English language is strong, but you know more words than you choose to use and you know how to keep things short and sweet—because you’re trying to communicate and resonate with people, not show off

- You’re building relationships with influencers in the broader community, our power users, and all kinds of UX evangelists to partner with us for virtual events, editorial contributions, and any other type of content that bolsters our community presence
- You’re down to organize and/or host the occasional live stream sessions to connect with our audience, share product insights, and address questions in real-time
- You’re creating and implementing a dynamic social media strategy that enhances brand visibility and engagement
- You’re identifying emerging trends and opportunities within the social media landscape to keep our brand relevant
- You have experience building unique, engaging content on LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, and emerging platforms such as Blue Sky and others
- You’re developing and curating compelling content that resonates with our audience, including graphics, videos, and interactive posts, from helpful infographics on LinkedIn to podcast shorts on YouTube
