Job Description
The Social Media Manager is a jack-of-all trades.
You are thrilled to share our message with anyone who will listen and are ready to customize that message depending on the platform – whether it be Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok or LinkedIn. Each platform has its own nuance and you are curious to learn all of their secrets and idiosyncrasies.
You are an excellent planner. Scheduling and organization come naturally. Each day, you know exactly what should be published and when. You’ve got it all under control and understand how social media plays its part in the larger vision for our company.
You are creative and delighted to explore all avenues. There is no topic too mundane. You’ve got endless ideas on how to boil down our information and make it helpful, interesting and entertaining for our audience.
You are eager to become a Croatian bureaucracy expert. Everyone on our team reads out posts, is trained and stays up to date on changes. We all know as much as possible so we can serve our audience to the best of our ability. You won’t post content that you don’t understand. You’ll need to absorb a large volume of information and understand how all the pieces fit together. This is not one-time memorization. The government changes frequently, and your mental rolodex must be flexible to roll with those changes. If sucking up new information excites you, this could be the right fit.
You are annoyingly detail-oriented and abhor typos and mistakes. You understand the responsibility we have to be accurate in all we do, and that there can be consequences to our audience when we aren’t.
Lastly and most importantly, you must also be empathetic, trustworthy, discreet, and honorable. Our clients trust us with very personal and private information. Sometimes, they are in the middle of a personal or family tragedy. Sometimes there are tears. You need to be comfortable listening, supporting, identifying and helping make their lives easier. You’ll respond to every comment and message that comes in, regardless of who it is, what they say or what they need.
