SOCIAL MEDIA COORDINATOR

We’re looking for a Social Media Coordinator to step in as the day-to-day, client-facing strategist on one of our accounts. This is not a create-and-post role. We need someone who understands analytics, can read what’s working and why, and leads conversations and content decisions with strategy first, while we stay focused on overall account direction and final approval.

Role Overview

  • Understand and apply analytics to inform content decisions, not just report numbers after the fact

  • Lead with strategy in client conversations and content planning, using data and platform trends to guide what gets made and why

  • Serve as the day-to-day, client-facing point person on an assigned account, building a real working relationship with the client

  • Build and manage content calendars, keeping the account organized and on schedule with minimal oversight

  • Create, edit, schedule, and post content across the client’s social platforms

  • Respond to comments and messages in the client’s voice

  • Flag opportunities, ideas, and timely content as you see them, not waiting to be told

  • Work from agency strategy and direction, with content reviewed and approved before it goes live

You Might Be Perfect for This If…

  • You think strategically about social media, not just “what should we post today” but “why, and what is it doing for this account”

  • You genuinely like talking to people and managing a relationship, not just making content

  • You work well independently and don’t need a lot of hand-holding to get things done

  • You’re organized and reliable with deadlines, even without someone checking in on you

  • You want a part-time role that could grow as the account and your hours grow

  • You’re chronically online and already know what’s trending before it trends

This Might Not Be a Fit If…

  • You’d rather just be handed content to post and not think about why it’s working or not

  • You prefer to be handed step-by-step instructions for every task

  • You’d rather stay behind the scenes than be the face of the account to a client

  • You’re not comfortable representing Drifter Communications publicly

  • You need full-time hours right now

Details

  • Approximately 10 hours per week to start, with a clear path to more hours as the account and our agency grow

  • Flexible schedule. Work when you want, with the expectation that you’re available one day/week for distraction-free team and client meetings

  • Fully remote, with preference for candidates based in the Tri-Cities, Tacoma, or LCV (Lewis-Clark Valley) area

  • This starts as a 1099 contractor role, with room to grow as the agency does. You'll need your own computer and iPhone to hit the ground running. Equipment isn't provided, but we do offer a monthly tech stipend.

  • Eligible for bonuses based on performance.

Qualifications

  • 2+ years of experience managing social media accounts, including reading analytics and using them to shape strategy

  • Comfortable interpreting performance data (reach, engagement, growth trends) and translating it into clear next steps, not just numbers in a report

  • A strong eye for design and an instinct for staying on brand, this is essential

  • Video editing skills required, comfortable using CapCut, InShot and/or Edits

  • Comfortable with platforms like Instagram, Facebook and TikTok.

  • Familiarity with tools like CapCut/InShot/Edits, Canva, and Rella (or similar tools) a plus

  • Strong writing skills and an ability to match different client voices

  • Self-directed, organized, and comfortable managing your own workload and deadlines

  • Comfortable using AI tools to enhance your work, not replace it

  • Bonus: experience with email marketing (Mailchimp or similar)

  • Bonus: experience creating content and UGC-style work
