• Content creation: develop and produce original multimedia content—including memes, short‑form videos, and posts—to educate and engage followers.
• Build an online audience and engage community members: foster an interactive online community by responding to comments and messages promptly, moderating discussions to maintain a positive environment, encouraging user‑generated content and amplifying voices from within the community, and increasing the volunteer base through online engagement.
• Social media management: manage our presence across major platforms (Instagram, Facebook, You Tube, Tik Tok, threads/Bluesky, etc.), tailoring content and messaging to each platform’s audience and best practices, consistently posting, monitoring, and engaging with the community.
• Culturally relevant storytelling: ensure all content is culturally respectful and relevant, highlight Indigenous perspectives, traditional ecological knowledge, community events, Native popular culture, and success stories in climate, voting rights, and public health advocacy. Work closely with Tribal community members and leaders when crafting stories to honor cultural values and protocols.
• Campaign support: collaborate with communications and advocacy teams to support opioid, voting rights, climate, and/or water campaigns. Translate campaign goals into digital content (e.g., educational threads, calls‑to‑action, event promotions) and coordinate with colleagues to maintain consistent, impactful messaging across all channels.
• Analytics and improvement: track social media metrics and content performance using analytics tools, provide regular insights on engagement, reach, and follower growth, and use data to refine strategy over time. Experiment with new content formats or trends (e.g., live streams, Instagram takeovers) and research algorithms and best practices to reach the right audiences.
• Editorial calendar: assist in developing and maintaining a social media content calendar aligned with seasonal events, campaign timelines, and relevant cultural dates (e.g., Indigenous Peoples’ Day, Earth Day).

To be successful in this role you will be creative, have experience building and engaging online audiences, managing social media accounts, and exhibit cultural awareness and sensitivity to Native values.
