Reports To: Community Engagement Marketing Lead

Schedule: Hybrid three days a week in Office

As GEICO Marketing continues to evolve, the community team is the first voice people hear back from GEICO on social, and often the first sign of whether something's really resonating or if something's about to become a real problem.

You'll run the day-to-day of GEICO's owned social channels: publishing comments, keeping the editorial calendar accurate, and serving as the first line of review on every comment, mention, and DM that comes in. When something's just a fun exchange, you'll handle it in GEICO's voice. When something's a customer service issue or a reputational risk, you'll know it immediately and get it to the right people fast.

You'll also help keep an eye on the broader conversation, including trends, listening dashboards, and the ad hoc "what are people saying about us" requests that help us understand our place in the social landscape.

This role is built for someone who's detail-oriented enough to keep a calendar and a queue perfectly accurate, and plugged-in enough to know when a reply should get a laugh instead of a canned response. GEICO's brand runs on humor, and you'll be one of the people actually delivering it in real time while knowing exactly when to dial it back.

• You can switch GEICO's brand voice on for a funny reply and off for an escalation, sometimes within the same few seconds.
• You know the difference between a joke that lands and a joke that becomes a headline.
• You've managed a fast-moving queue of comments, DMs, or mentions without letting things…
