Summary & Position Overview

The INSP Digital Content and Social Media department is seeking a Social Media Coordinator focused exclusively on organic social media marketing and promotion.

If you want real-world, hands-on social media experience with a top 10 cable network,
this is the job for you!

The Digital Content and Social Media team - covering organic social media, website, email, text, and digital content creation - is responsible for developing innovative second-screen experiences that evolve the INSP Network into a multi-platform content destination. Our goal is to develop, create, and implement impactful, memorable experiences that drive linear tune-in, brand awareness and audience engagement across multiple screens and platforms.

The Social Media Coordinator will execute social media strategies across multiple brand channels.?That means a lot of writing (we’re looking for those creative folks who can sling some witty words in a few sentences or less), a lot of scheduling (so those witty words can get published), and a lot of engagement and monitoring (you’ve got to love "talking" to people [digitally, of course] and keep an eye on what they say).

Creating and editing content for spaces such as TikTok, Reels and YouTube Shorts will be central to this role. Working knowledge of these social media platforms and all their bells and whistles is a must!
