Do you love to tweet? Use Facebook every day, all day?

We are seeking a highly motivated individual with experience and fanatical passion for blogging, micro-blogging and community participation leadership. This position is full-time, work-from-home, includes attending mainstream and niche conferences and weekly on-site sales meetings with staff and sales execs.

We are a social media solutions group in Portland, OR with a reputation for providing effective email and social media marketing support for small- to medium-sized businesses, as well as large corporations.



You need to have this stuff...

• a Bachelor’s or Associate's degree (or equivalent experience!) in music, advertising, marketing, graphics, web development, communications, English, IT, music, theater, anthropology, history or related.

• excellent research skills, excellent writing skills and the ability to crank editorial and technical writing output without brooding.

• demonstrated creativity and documented immersion in social media. (Really... send us the links.)

• discretion to identify both threats and opportunities in user-generated content.

• understanding of the social media universe: YouTube, StumbleUpon, Delicious, Digg, Reddit, Flickr, forums, Twitter, Wikis, blogs and more. We need a social media addict who maintains a personal mix of participatory expertise from these channels.

• outstanding organizational skills and the ability to handle multiple projects/clients simultaneously while meeting deadlines.

• ability to communicate your results to management, in a fast paced environment.

• comfort with teaching social media to others.

• an insistence on honesty, transparency and integrity at work and play.

• Be the eyes and ears of the brand as if your personal reputation depended on it.

• Build and maintain our content distribution network by way of social media channels.

• Create content for feeds and snippets in various social media sites.

• Schedule and organize multiple clients, all of whom are generating content on a daily basis.

• Optimize tags on our feeds, on sharing sites (like YouTube/Flickr) and on search engines through copywriting, creative & keyword optimization and buzz pocket mining.

• Manage and track link-building campaigns, coordinated with all facets of our business.

• Create and update daily, weekly and monthly reports for each client.

• A good-paying job with a cutting edge social media firm working with local and national clients.

• The ability and freedom of working from home. (You'll be 1099 - hello write-offs!)

• A great job in a hot market.

• Ability to set your own hours and pay, depending upon how many accounts you would like to manage.

• Sole responsibility for accounts to build your resume and reputation.

• An awesome team to work with.

• No resumes. At least not the kind written in MS Word.

• Send an elevator pitch on why you are the person we’ve described.

• DON'T send an e-mail! If you are a community-centric person, it just makes sense to connect via Twitter or Facebook - DM me on Twitter or PM me through Facebook.

• If your profiles are hard to connect to you on social media sites, tell me which are yours and what you’re hiding.

• Understand this will be a competitive search and there is one position open right now. Be outstanding.
• Here is the hiring manager's links :
