• Excited about innovation and interested in following industry trends
• Proficient in SEO, audience and social analytics tools
• Sensitive to issues of representation and respectful of the diverse communities that make up Southern California

Responsibilities:
• Analyze audience, traffic and social media data daily, providing regular reports and frequent observations to digital managers and digital news producers
• Work with digital managers to shape - and continually reshape - social media and online content strategy, based on data

• Coach talent and KTLA staff in best practices on social media, including Twitter, Facebook and Instagram

Requirements:
• Bachelor's degree, preferably in journalism or communication
• At least 2 years of relevant work experience managing social accounts

• Confidence and experience using analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Chartbeat, CrowdTangle, Social News Desk
• Excellent command of the English language, both verbal and written
• Ability to successfully juggle multiple projects with varying deadlines and timelines
