BuzzFeed is seeking a Social Media Strategist to join its team in Los Angeles. This person will primarily work on Instagram and Pinterest strategy for the BuzzFeed Motion Pictures (BFMP) and BuzFeed Entertainment Group (BFEG) Teams, but will have a hand in all social platforms.
The ideal candidate is organized, detail-oriented, and enthusiastic about social media and all things BuzzFeed. We're looking for a data-obsessed self-starter with excellent judgment and communication skills.
This position will use data to inform decisions and will collaborate closely with the social/publishing team, the operations team, and video producers to ensure that our content is being released in the most optimal way across Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, etc.
The ideal candidate should also be able to understand and summarize how and why certain videos blow up: Where did they take off? What makes them special? Why are they worth sharing?

Responsibilities:
• Plan, implement, and analyze video and distributed content releases and schedules across multiple Facebook pages and other social media platforms

• Partner with the operations team and the data science team to implement strategies and tests
• Use knowledge of online video to present our videos in the most shareable way, helping them to have the biggest reach and impact
• Generate ideas for Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, Tumblr, Pinterest, etc.
Requirements:
• 1-3 years of experience running social media accounts and/or online writing/editing/curating on the web
• Understanding of the digital landscape and a proven interest in keeping up to date with developments in web platforms and applications
• Knowledge of the online video ecosystem
• Native Tumblr, Vimeo, Twitter, Vine, Instagram, YouTube and Reddit user
• Deep enthusiasm for finding, sharing and writing about videos from the deepest trenches of the web
• Deep understanding of how titling and thumbnails can effect a video's performance
• Strong organizational and communication skills
• Must have excellent writing skills
• Ability to handle multiple priorities
To apply:
• No formal cover letters, please. Instead, include a few short paragraphs in your application explaining why you'd be a good fit for this particular position. We'd also like you to share 3-5 links to BuzzFeed posts published within the last year that you think did really well on social media, and explain why.
• Provide links to your social media accounts or personal blog
