Ensure organic social media efforts are fully integrated with paid digital campaigns to build brand equity and support school leadership priorities.
Collaborate with the Performance Marketing team to build, optimize, and execute Paid Social Campaigns across Meta (Facebook & Instagram) to maximize ROI.

3. Community Management & Moderation

Oversee regional online communities, ensuring all customer queries and comments across social channels and review platforms (e.g., Google, School Parrot) are answered timely.
Moderate user-generated content and escalate sensitive, controversial, or high-risk communications to appropriate stakeholders immediately.

4. Enablement, Innovation & Reporting

Train and empower local school "social media champions" to capture and supplement central organic content effectively..
Track, analyze, and deliver deep-dive weekly, monthly, and quarterly reports evaluating key performance metrics (KPIs) such as brand awareness, engagement, retention, and paid campaign ROI.

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE WILL HAVE:

Minimum 3–5+ years of proven experience managing organic and paid social media platforms, ideally within a multi-national or matrixed environment.
