  • Perform basic photo editing for social posts and thumbnails
  • Coordinate with our designer on ad creatives and visual brand campaigns
  • Schedule content using Later and maintain a consistent posting calendar
  • Maintain a high standard of detail and quality across all platforms—no spelling or formatting errors
  • Engage with and manage online communities, including course-related Facebook Groups and Discord spaces
  • Collaborate cross-functionally on promotional efforts involving blogs, newsletters, and affiliate campaigns
  • Stay informed on social trends, platform algorithm changes, and emerging formats
