Position Overview
We seeking a Social Media Manager who will create content, manage and grow the social media accounts for The Lawfare Project and the #EndJewHatred movement.
We want someone with strong hands-on experience creating and managing social media content. You will create and edit content, design graphics, write copy, publish posts, manage our accounts, engage with our audiences, monitor trends, and use analytics to understand what is working.
The ideal candidate has experience personally managing large social media accounts, with 100,000+ followers, and can demonstrate that experience through a strong portfolio.
You should be comfortable taking a piece of raw footage from a rally, webinar, interview, or news appearance and turning it into compelling short-form content, as well as creating graphics, flyers, carousels, and other content from scratch.

Community & Growth
- Actively manage comments, direct messages, mentions, tags, and other audience interactions across platforms.
- Engage with relevant influencers, journalists, organizations, activists, partners, and supporters to increase visibility and reach.

Analytics & Optimization
- Monitor social media performance, including reach, engagement, follower growth, video performance, and link clicks.
- Use platform analytics to identify what is working and adjust content accordingly.
- Track conversions and other campaign goals using tools such as Meta analytics and Google Analytics.
- Provide regular performance reports and actionable recommendations for improving growth and engagement.

- Canva for graphics, carousels, flyers, and other visual content
- CapCut or comparable video editing software
- ManyChat or other social automation tools
- Meta Business Suite / Meta Insights
