Responsibilities

• You will collaborate and brainstorm with other social media team members to create compelling content—specifically through words—for PETA's Instagram, X/Twitter, Facebook, and TikTok accounts. Content must be emotionally evocative and tell a story with minimal words and well-designed imagery.
• Helping save animals is PETA’s biggest priority. You will work on priorities from other departments to ensure that the social team is pushing PETA’s biggest issues and thus getting the public to take animals into consideration. You’ll also communicate with these departments to guarantee that everything you are posting is engaging, factually accurate, and emotionally compelling.
• It takes a lot of skill to learn how to best present information to an online audience, so a major part of your job will be analyzing your work and its online response, then finding ways to both improve and replicate prior success AND grow our following!
• You will get to know our online audience and see what they respond to and share, which will help you create content tailored for them to share. If we want to win animal rights, we must get our content in front of our audience and their followers!
• A portion of your every day will be researching current trends in social media, staying on top of things like the latest meme, and creatively applying that knowledge to PETA's efforts.
• The news never sleeps! Since social media success depends on acting in real-time, we post when the moment strikes (and on some occasions, the moment is 9 p.m. on Saturday night). You'll also need to be available on some holidays and weekends to post urgent breaking news.
• Though this role is remote, you’ll need to be able to hop over to your local vegan restaurant to create a fun TikTok or get content when we’re protesting in your area.
• You'll also be expected to perform any other duties assigned by the supervisor.
