• Strong organizational skills and meticulous attention to detail.
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively within a matrixed organization.
• Ability to write and edit accurately in a high-volume, deadline-driven environment.
• Previous experience or demonstrated interest in social media writing, producing, editing, and cross-platform strategy.
