DESCRIPTION

UniverSOUL Hip Hop is seeking a creative, organized, and proactive Social Media Coordinator to provide social media, digital marketing, and content support during an initial 10-week term beginning in mid-September 2026. This role will help keep UniverSOUL’s digital presence active, engaging, and consistent while supporting the promotion and storytelling of our fall programs and events, including our Back to School Jam.

​

At UniverSOUL, social media helps us share our story, highlight our artists and programs, connect with our community, and build meaningful relationships. We’re looking for someone who is excited about creating engaging content while helping us strengthen our visibility and connection with the communities we serve.

 

The Social Media Coordinator will support content creation, caption writing, scheduling and publishing, photo/video capture and organization, newsletters, website updates, and event promotion. This is a great opportunity for someone interested in arts, dance, culture, community engagement, digital storytelling, and marketing, particularly someone interested in learning how communications can support the growth and impact of a community-centered arts organization.

 

While this position begins as a 10-week engagement, there is potential for the role to continue and evolve as UniverSOUL’s marketing and communications needs grow.

​

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Work with the UniverSOUL team to develop and execute social media strategies aligned with organizational goals, programs, and upcoming events.

• Create and publish engaging multimedia content across UniverSOUL’s social platforms, including photography, short-form video, graphics, and written copy.

• Draft captions, schedule posts, and help maintain a consistent social media calendar.

• Support digital storytelling that highlights UniverSOUL’s artists, programs, partnerships, students, community, and organizational impact.

• Provide social media and content support for UniverSOUL’s Back to School Jam, including pre-event promotion, event-day content capture, and post-event highlights and recaps.

• Attend select programs and events, as needed, to capture behind-the-scenes, artist, student, and community content.

• Engage thoughtfully with online audiences and help strengthen relationships with community members.

• Organize photos, videos, and other digital assets for ongoing communications and marketing use.

• Monitor basic social media analytics and identify opportunities to strengthen reach, engagement, and audience connection.

• Maintain cohesive messaging, voice, and visual branding across platforms.

• Provide occasional support for newsletters, website updates, and other digital marketing needs.

​

QUALIFICATIONS

Ideal candidates are creative, proactive, detail-oriented, and comfortable working independently. Strong skills in content creation, digital storytelling, and communication are important, along with an ability to build authentic relationships with artists, community members, partners, and audiences.

We are looking for someone who understands—or is interested in learning—how social media and marketing can be used not only to promote programs and events, but also to tell meaningful stories, strengthen community, cultivate long-term engagement, and support organizational growth.

Candidates should have:

• Experience creating content for platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and/or YouTube.

• Strong writing and communication skills, including the ability to create concise, engaging, and audience-appropriate social media copy.

• Experience with Canva, video editing, or similar content creation and design tools.

• Basic familiarity with social media scheduling/management tools and website platforms.

• An ability to engage authentically and professionally with diverse artists, community members, partners, families, and audiences.

• Ability to self-direct, manage deadlines, and communicate consistently with a small team.

• Availability to attend select UniverSOUL programs and events in the Los Angeles area, including the Back to School Jam on October 11, 2026.

Experience in photography, videography, short-form video editing, and/or community-based, arts, dance, cultural, or nonprofit marketing is highly preferred.

We are especially interested in candidates who are interested in growing their skills in marketing and communications.
