With your digital storytelling skills, you'll grow Handshake’s core social media accounts and experiment with new channels that reach Gen Z. You are not only passionate about social media but also understand how to adapt messages to different audiences and can bring social-first content to life. You'll be the voice of Handshake, creating content that makes career and recruiting guidance feel less like a lecture and more like advice from a trusted friend.
You will report to the Head of Communications, and work closely with corporate communications, brand design and marketing. This role is based in San Francisco, CA and required 3 days a week in office (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday).
For cash compensation, we set standard ranges for all U.S.-based roles based on function, level, and geographic location, benchmarked against similar stage growth companies. In order to be compliant with local legislation, as well as to provide greater transparency to candidates, we share salary ranges on all job postings regardless of desired hiring location. Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors, including geographic location as well as candidate experience and expertise, and may vary from the amounts listed above.
