Prestige Academy, a leader in private higher education, located in Bellville, Cape Town, is looking for someone who is an experienced Social Media Manager and Content creator. If you're the "blogging" type then this is the job for you.
Reporting into the Marketing Manager, you should be someone who views marketing as a career and not a job. You must be passionate about digital storytelling, creating things, attention to detail and you are able to optimise on the fly.
You will need a strong grasp of the digital landscape. If you maintain things like personal websites, a blog and Instagram/Twitter/Facebook/etc.accounts and can demonstrate that you've built up your own audience/following, that's exactly what we're looking for. We're looking for someone that's an absolute ACE at creating appealing content for the target audiences and who knows how to get the most from their efforts using social media platforms.
We're looking for someone who grasps the "student life". Thing is, our entire organisation is built around successfully launching the careers of young students, thus it's imperative that you're tapped into the pulse and mindset of student life and know how to create content that promotes the Prestige Academy brand.
You need to be able to work independently and have ample drive to bring ideas to life.
Oh, we're a fun bunch! So you need to be fun too :-) In fact, personality is equally important as your CV.
Here's the skills we need you to bring to the table:
- Content and Social media strategy. You need to be able to design the content creation and social media promotion strategy for the year and execute upon that plan.
- You need to be resourceful in obtaining or creating content. We attend or host a lot of events and have a lot of contact with students. You need to see opportunities for capturing those moments in a way that helps to support the story/strategy you've created.
- Excellent writing, proofing and editing skills.
- Must be articulate, a good listener and a strong and mature communicator.
- Collaborative/Team player attitude.
- Attention to detail should be a character trait.
- A can-do attitude; adaptable to changing priorities and ability to work effectively within short deadlines
- Must be hardworking, a self-starter and a strong problem solver
- Proficiency with Window-based Microsoft computer applications including excellent keyboarding skills
- A keen interest in writing, student life, online marketing and social media
- A demonstrated ability to learn by doing and taking initiative to "figure things out".
- Search engine optimization (SEO) experience, a plus.
- HTML knowledge, a plus
Platform experience necessary:
- Wordpress (must be well rounded in using Wordpress self hosted blogging platform).
- YouTube
- Google+
- Facebook Insights
- Twitter Analytics
