Social Media Specialist, The Dodo

About The Role

We’re looking for a proactive, detail-oriented Social Media Specialist, The Dodo to temporarily support The Dodo’s social publishing workflows while a team member is out on parental leave. This is an execution-focused role that supports platform-specific publishing across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts — with an emphasis on producing and scheduling Facebook photo posts, managing content distribution, and contributing to short-form storytelling as needed. You’ll also help maintain cadence on our Broadcast Channels (WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook), following tone and platform guidance. This is a great opportunity for someone with strong scheduling experience, a good eye for platform formatting, and comfort working across Airtable, Meta tools, and basic video/photo workflows.

Who We Are

The Dodo is the #1 media brand for reach on mobile in the U.S., and the most engaged media brand globally across all content genres. We tell fun, entertaining, emotional stories about animals that make people laugh, cry happy tears, feel ALL the feels, and fall in love with animals. The Dodo is part of Vox Media, the leading modern media company. We guide our audience from discovery to obsession. We inspire essential conversations about what’s now, what’s next, and what’s possible. As a community of journalists and storytellers, business professionals, creators and technologists, we believe it is a moral and business imperative to amplify voices: to cultivate diversity, equity, and inclusion throughout our organization and media. This applies to our candidates, our teams, our storytelling, our creative work, and our platforms, products, and partnerships.
