The Role
BuzzFeed is looking for an Associate Social Media Strategist to focus on video publishing strategy for some of BuzzFeed's most beloved brands on YouTube. Reporting to our Lead Social Media Strategist and working from our Hollywood campus, you'll use data to inform decisions and collaborate closely with operations and video producers to ensure that our content is released in the most optimal way across YouTube and more.
You are passionate about publishers and content creators on YouTube and can summarize how and why certain videos blow up - where did they take off, what makes them special, why are they worth sharing?
We're looking for an expert who is naturally organized and detail-oriented, enthusiastic about social media and all things BuzzFeed - someone who is a data-obsessed self-starter with excellent judgement and communication skills.
You Will
• Develop, schedule, publish and analyze video and distributed content releases and schedules across multiple YouTube channels.
• Completely and wholly own your projects from a publishing point-of-view; have all the answers and if you don't, find the answer.
• Establish a consultative relationship with stakeholders, including executives.
• Schedule and publish videos to some of the biggest brands on YouTube.
• Monitor discussions, posts, and comments across multiple YouTube channels and other social media channels.
• Be an advisor for new programs; a respected thought leader to help teams throughout the company crack new content areas and formats.
• Anticipate issues in workflow or content performance and present manager with possible relevant solutions and think outside the day-to-day to find creative scalable solutions (i.e.: work smarter not harder).
• Use knowledge of online video to present our videos in the most shareable way, helping them to have the biggest reach and influence
You Have
• At least one year of professional experience online writing/editing/curating on the web for a major publisher or brand
• An interest in keeping up-to-date with developments in web platforms and applications
• Deep enthusiasm for experimenting with content and strategy to improve for essential metrics
• Knowledge of the online video ecosystem, and experience with YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and Reddit
• Understanding of how titling and thumbnails can affect a video's performance
• Ability to handle multiple priorities - a tireless work ethic never hurts!
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 position. We'd also like you to share 3-5 links to videos posted on any BuzzFeed YouTube channel (published within the last year) that you think did really well and explain why.
• Provide links to your social media accounts or personal blog
• Attach a resume
