Main Duties include:

Strategy and Content Localization:

• Develop and execute a US-audience social media growth strategy aligned with global campaign priorities and organizational KPIs.
• Adapt global campaign narratives, key messages, and creative assets for US audiences, calibrating tone, cultural framing, and format while maintaining brand consistency with the organization's global voice.
• Produce at least 15 content pieces per month across all channels, including short-form video, copy, and visual content optimized for US audiences, applying platform-specific best practices (aspect ratios, captioning, hook structure, posting cadence, content trends) for distribution across the organization's global Instagram and Facebook channels, as well as the 350 Action US account.
• Develop a content review protocol, with criteria and workflow for assessing incoming global content for risk of underperformance or cultural misalignment with US audiences. Apply the protocol to review each piece of content as it comes in (approximately 5 pieces per week), providing feedback within 24 hours of submission.
• Coordinate with global communications colleagues on audience segmentation, content production, and publishing schedules. Apply geolocation and audience segmentation protocols when publishing US-specific content, to preserve relevance for non-US followers on shared global channels.

• Optimize ad targeting parameters, budget allocation, bidding strategy, and creative assets based on performance metrics including CPM, CPC, CTR, conversion rate, and ROAS (return on ad spend).
• Monitor cost-efficiency indicators (CPA, cost-per-follower) and advise budget allocation across campaigns/ad sets to maximize return on investment, with approval from the Global Communications Director.

Crisis Communication:

• Support the global communications team in developing and executing crisis communication protocols relevant to US audiences and platforms.
• Monitor for reputational risk indicators or fast-moving situations requiring rapid-response content.

• Strong analytical skills, with the ability to translate performance data into actionable strategy and concrete content outputs.
