Digital Content Coordinator – Melton Digital – Laurel, MD
This position’s primary focus will be to expand the reach of our online courses and beauty influencer training programs by creating content for social media, lead magnets, our websites, and email newsletters. You will work closely with our graphic designer and brand photographer to create gorgeous and share-worthy content across these platforms.
The number one goal of this position is to attract and engage with our ideal audience so that they become raving fans and customers. You are someone with a strong editorial mindset who seeks to understand what beauty audiences consume in order to drive massive engagement online. You are also someone who is obsessed with beauty content and are very knowledgeable about the business of the beauty industry.
About the Role:
—This is a part-time contract position that reports directly to our President and Creative Director. The role will begin no later than May 15.
—The position requires candidates to be available for weekday meetings in Laurel, Maryland. (Remote candidates outside of the metro-DC area will only be considered if you can commit to weekly in-person meetings in Laurel, Maryland.)
—You will primarily work remotely between 18 and 20 hours per week. Working hours for this position are between 9am-5pm EST, Monday-Friday, but are somewhat flexible as this position is more about completing tasks and objectives with a high level of responsiveness, especially for customer engagement on social media.
— This role would be great for a beauty blogger who desires to transition to blogging full time while also having a contract role with work-from-home hours.
— This role is not for someone who currently works a full-time job, as you will need to be available during weekday hours Monday-Friday.
— Also, because our business uses an online launching business model, a few times per year there will be the need to work additional hours on evenings and weekends preparing for program launches.
What You’ll Do:
— Develop content marketing initiatives to drive traffic, engagement and leads that deliver sales and customer retention
— Organize editorial calendars and content workflows across social media, lead magnets, our blog, and email newsletters
— Create an exceptional culture of engagement within our social media community by consistently responding to comments from fans and followers across all platforms
— Deliver weekly reporting that track successes and identifies opportunities through engagement data and growth metrics
Qualifications/Requirements:
— 2+ years experience creating online content, ideally for a beauty or wellness company
— Bachelor’s degree in digital media, journalism, communications or other discipline emphasizing storytelling or multimedia creation
— Deep understanding of the beauty industry through work experience and your personal passion for beauty and wellness
— Must have experience managing business accounts for social media
— Strong eye for beauty photography, styled product images, and graphic design. You will create a lot of visual content alongside our graphic designer and photographer
— Must have experience with WordPress and G Suite platforms
— Your own personal beauty or wellness blog/vlog is a major plus
To apply, please complete both steps below:
— Please submit your cover letter and resume via Indeed. Applications without a cover letter will not be considered.
— Please email admin(at)meltondigital(dot)com with links to your personal social media platforms. This role is for someone who has a strong affinity for social media and understands beauty content, therefore please include your blog URL, brand Facebook page, and brand Instagram page. Please also email two writing samples. The writing samples can be links to your best blog posts or articles you’ve written for beauty publications. If you do not have two writing samples, please send four social media posts you’ve created for a brand or your own beauty page. Please screenshot these posts and organize them into a PDF deck to attach via email. Please ensure the full written caption of all fours posts is visible.
