Content Associate: Social Media & Digital Communications

Whip Communications is hiring a Content Associate who will draft social media and digital content, manage editorial calendars, and support other projects as needed. We would like this contractor to be a long-term thought partner and an integral part of the WHIP team.

ABOUT YOU

If you’re a strong writer and creative thinker who takes initiative, this role is for you! We envision this role growing and evolving with the skillset of the person who fills it, but here’s what we’re looking for:

• Strong writing and communication skills
• 1-2 years of experience in writing, social media, or communications
  • This would be a great fit for a college senior or recent graduate looking to supplement their full-time income

• Basic experience — or willingness to learn — Wordpress, social media platforms, Buffer, Mailchimp, and Canva

Agency Support

The types of general support you’ll provide ad-hoc for existing clients where Paige is the main point of contact.

• Pull monthly social media analytics (example)
• Drafting social media posts
• Creating a graphic or reel in Canva (example)
• Editing or drafting blog posts
• Research or fact-checking
• Media relations, including research, pitching, or list-building
