Responsibilities

• Social Media Strategy & Growth: You will own the day-to-day operations of Foster Nation’s social accounts, moving beyond "posting" to "building a movement." You will create a monthly content calendar that builds a compelling story around our work.
• Content Creation: You will develop written and digital content, including newsletters, slide decks, and graphics using tools like Figma or Canva. You will capture the magic of our work in real-time to show donors and the community the impact we are making.
• Partnership & Sponsor Activation: You will leverage social media, event interactions, and general marketing channels to identify and initiate new collaborative partnerships. You will act as the initial point of connection for potential donors and sponsors, qualifying leads to be handed off to the leadership team.
• Community Engagement & Event Support: You will be present at every Los Angeles event, supporting the "run of show" and acting as a lead engagement officer. You will curate spaces for foster youth that feel authentic and safe, ensuring our events move the business forward through great storytelling.
• Brand Scaling: You will help document our engagement "playbook"—identifying what works in LA so we can eventually replicate our success in other communities as we grow.

Requirements

• Experience: 1–3 years of experience in marketing, social media management, and community organizing.
• Mission Alignment: A deep commitment to treating everyone with dignity and empowering foster youth to live their best lives.
• Storytelling Skills: You understand how to use video and text to make people feel something. You are comfortable being both behind and in front of the camera. As we look to attract new funders and participants into our network, you will build trust in our programming through your storytelling.
• Technical Proficiency: Experience with Canva, Figma, Constant Contact (or similar email marketing platforms), and social media analytics; ability to build clean, professional decks and communication plans. Experience editing video for both short and long form content is necessary as well.
• Entrepreneurial Mindset: You are curious, intentional, and ready to take initiative with minimal supervision. You see a problem and naturally want to build a system to solve it.
• Logistics: You must have access to reliable transportation and be able to travel throughout LA County for all in-person program events.

Benefits

• Health Benefits: We provide a dedicated insurance stipend designed to fully cover the cost of an average health insurance plan.
• Paid Time Off: 30 total days of PTO annually (14 paid holidays, 10 PTO days, and 6 sick days).
