  • Liaise with students and recent graduates to coordinate user-generated content to support Handshake’s focus on elevating student voices
  • Provide creative insight into topics to be included in monthly content calendars 
  • Deliver feedback on content performance
  • Collaborate with the Student Marketing team, attend relevant meetings, and understand how social fits into broader marketing strategy and goals

Your Experience:

  • Majoring in business, marketing, journalism, advertising, public relations, or experience in a communications or marketing-related field
  • Some social media management experience
  • Extremely strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Basic understanding of social media analytics
  • Excellent attention to detail and a high motivation to learn
  • Comfortable working with Google Workspace and Slack

  • A few ideas that you think could help launch Handshake’s student-focused social media content to the next level by driving engagement and sharing. (Bullet points are great!)
  • Film and post one TikTok or Reels video that you think will help grab other students’ attention and drive them to follow Handshake, and provide a short explainer about your process. (Please use #HireMeHandshake and tag @joinhandshake when posting, and include the post link with your application materials. A short paragraph as your explainer is perfect!) 
    • Feel free to use your video caption creatively — let us know why you’d be such a great fit for this role!

  1. Handshake’s mission to democratize opportunity
