[Hiring] Social Media Content Producer @Good Good Good

Role Description

Good Good Good is looking for a social media content producer with experience in journalism to help build and maintain our social media presence across Good Good Good's accounts. This is an entry-level position at a fast-paced independent news startup that's shaping what good news looks like online. You'll have a critical role in interrupting someone's doomscrolling with a news headline that's actually hopeful for a change.

You'll work directly with our Social Media Editor to curate, plan, write, and design content in alignment with Good Good Good's voice, brand, and point of view — with zero AI involved in the writing and design. You'll help dive into analytics and report on successes to develop and adapt our content strategy.

What this role looks like week to week

• 75% of your time will be spent curating, writing, and editing news headlines and story summaries, and sourcing images
• 15% of your time will be spent researching good news story ideas
• 10% of your time will be spent tracking and reporting content performance

We post good news stories on social media at volume. You'd curate, research, write, edit, design, and post as many as 10 posts per day across multiple platforms. This high-volume approach isn't the best fit for every content producer.

We want to be the first ones to tell someone something good has happened in the world — and give them the tools to tell their friends and followers about it, too.

What you'll do

• Writing, editing, and graphic design
• Curate news stories and write journalistic headlines and story summaries
• Adapt written content into graphic designs for social media platforms
• Monitor current events for content opportunities in alignment with the Good Good Good voice and ethos
• Adhere to Good Good Good brand standards
• Assist in monitoring DMs, stories, and reviews to build relationships with both our audience and current/future customers
• Growth and performance
• Assist in tracking and reporting on social media KPIs
• Discover and communicate trending stories with other journalists at Good Good Good

Qualifications

• Proven experience in social media
• Proven experience in digital journalism
• A passion for journalistic integrity and accuracy
• A dedication to Good Good Good's journalistic mission
• Strong written communication skills and editorial judgement
• A keen eye for graphic design that is both aesthetic and effective
• A basic understanding of mainstream and emerging social media channels
• Comfort covering social issues, human rights, climate, and politics with nuance and care
• The ability to explain complex subjects to a general audience

Bonus points for

• Video editing skills
• Prior brand and/or graphic design experience
• Prior newsroom experience
• Knowledge of AP Style

You'll probably love this job if

• You want values-driven work that genuinely makes a difference
• You've seen posts go viral and figured out exactly why
• You have favorite creators who have a clear POV and audience
• You've gotten into arguments about em dashes and the Oxford comma
• You can tell who made a social media post before you even see their account
• You're heartbroken by bad news, but are even more motivated to find and amplify solutions
• You really wish people would read past the headline a bit more
• You're the resident optimist of your friend group
• You want to get good news right, because a lot of people get it wrong

This might not be the right fit if

• You want to spend days developing long-form content
• You want a lot of leeway to stretch your graphic design skills
• You get hung up on the imperfections of a solution to a problem
• The comment section can derail your day
• You'd rather not pay attention to the news
