Are you a driven, creative, social media-savvy individual who enjoys writing, posting, and being a part of a team? Are you ready to help shape the voice of local businesses around the country? Then, you’ve come to the right place.

What will you do?

• Create original written and visual content for a wide-ranging portfolio of local businesses located throughout the company -- this means everything from restaurants, bars, and nightlife to boutiques and auto repair.


• Engage and connect with online audiences, fans, and consumers on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Yelp, and TripAdvisor.


• Collaborate with teammates across departments, implement customer feedback, innovate on strategies, and help develop best practices.


• Utilize a critical eye for your own work to ensure clean, high-quality copy.


• Take on any other responsibilities that may arise in a fast-moving, startup environment.

Nice to have:

• You love writing. You may have been called a word nerd a time or two.


• An eye four detail. You know the difference between there, their, and they’re, and the typo in the first sentence is driving you absolutely crazy.


• Familiarity with major social media platforms. You can easily translate messages on different platforms to reach different audiences.


• You’re a self-starter. You get a thrill from checking things off of your to-do list.
