Job description

The Organization
Azul is a Latinx-led and Latinx-serving environmental justice organization focused on ocean stewardship. Our work is rooted and guided by equity, social justice and intersectionality, and grounded in a community-centered theory of change.

We are the only ocean conservation organization in the country that focuses specifically on working with Latinx communities – and we engage these (our) communities by leveraging culturally relevant organizing strategies and communication techniques.

Our team is small, nimble, and extremely mighty. Azul was founded in 2011 to elevate Latinx perspectives and participation in ocean conservation and has long advocated for environmental justice and equity at the international and national levels, as well as in the state of California.

The Position
We are seeking a talented and versatile Digital Engagement Coordinator who will play an instrumental role in growing our online community and crafting content that resonates with our diverse audience, including Spanish-speaking communities. This role requires a deep understanding of different content formats and cultural nuances. The ideal candidate will ensure that the organization’s brand and image are consistently reflected across various digital platforms, working closely with multiple teams within the organization. The position will report to Azul’s Digital Manager.

This position is fully remote within the United States, with a preference for candidates near coasts.

Responsibilities
Content Creation

• Develop content across different formats, including visuals, videos, reels, graphics, memes, and written material, ensuring brand consistency and relevance.
• Create culturally relevant content that speaks to both English and Spanish-speaking audiences, understanding their unique engagement patterns.
• Collaborate across departments to align content creation with campaign priorities, evergreen efforts, and organizational goals.
• Manage a content creation queue under the direction of the department director, effectively prioritizing and delivering on content needs.
• Adapt content for use across various platforms, including websites and social media, maximizing engagement and reach.

Platform Management

• Manage social media platforms with the goal of growing and cultivating an active online community, including scheduling posts and responding to community comments
• Identify and capitalize on rapid response opportunities to leverage current events, pop culture and/or creative storytelling to cut through the noise on social media and move the needle on conversations about protecting the ocean.
• Develop the necessary tracking systems, tools, reports, and structures that provide strong clarity and accountability for our social media work.
• Develop and maintain social media partnerships with influencers and the organizational account of like-minded or allied organizations, including by coordinating with them on content and (when appropriate) creating social media toolkits with content relevant to our campaigns and issues for them to promote on their own channels.
• Stay up to date on evolving social media trends (including new features, new technology, and algorithmic changes) and best practices, and use that knowledge to more effectively reach, engage and grow our audiences.
• Monitor and curate social media content from allied organizations, relevant news organizations, cultural and social media influencers, and grassroots activists to find other content we can amplify on our own channels.
• Where possible, ensure that our social media channels are consistently amplifying the voices of Latinxs directly impacted by the issues we work on or invested in the campaigns we’re running (and the grassroots organizations that represent them).
• Other responsibilities as assigned.

Success in the first six months of this position looks like:

• You’ve created and begun the implementation of a social media strategy to rapidly scale up our audience on our existing social media channels.
• You understand Azul’s broader goals, campaigns and issue areas, and are fashioning social media strategies and content that reflect that understanding.
• You are regularly (in accordance with best practices) updating our social accounts with effective content.
• You are maintaining an organized system of tracking, monitoring and prioritizing tasks and projects.
• You’ve set up systems to monitor the news and social media to ensure Azul can react quickly and appropriately to breaking news or emerging developments that are relevant to our work.

You have the skills, experience and perspective necessary to build and run our social programs:

• You are an excellent and creative copywriter who lives and breathes social media.

• You have the ability to creatively leverage both pop culture and current events to cut through the noise on social media.
