About Field Nine Group
Field Nine Group is a portfolio media company working with newsrooms, journalism organizations, and editorial publications to grow their audiences and modernize their digital strategy. We work at the intersection of journalism, technology, and audience engagement.
We are looking for an Editorial Social Media Coordinator to execute social media for our newsroom clients.
About the role
As Editorial Social Media Coordinator, you will manage the day-to-day social media presence for several of our newsroom and editorial clients. You will write platform-specific copy that promotes published articles, plan creative for AMAs and live events, schedule posts, and report on performance.
This is not a brand or marketing social role. You will not be planning Q4 campaigns or content pillars from scratch. The newsrooms are the content engine — your job is to be an excellent distributor and amplifier of their journalism.
You will work closely with the CEO (who sets strategy) and the Project Operations Manager (who handles cross-functional coordination). You will brief the design team for graphics through the Project Operations Manager. You will also work to elevate our internal brands on social media.
What you will own
Writing platform-specific social copy that promotes published articles
Planning creative and posting cadence for AMAs, live events, and special editorial coverage
Scheduling and posting across platforms using tools like Sprout, Buffer, or Later
Briefing the design team via the Project Operations Manager for graphics and visual assets
Light community management within editorial guidelines
Weekly performance reports per client (impressions, engagement, click-throughs, notable wins)
Maintaining a content calendar across multiple client accounts
Working within Claude Projects we've built for each newsroom (voice guidelines, examples, style rules)
Adapting tone and voice across different newsroom clients while maintaining each brand's distinct identity
What you will NOT own
Client relationship ownership (the Project Operations Manager handles client communication)
Design execution (you brief, designers create) but design background is a plus
Who we are looking for
Required:
2+ years of social media experience, ideally at a digital publication, newsroom, or editorial brand
Exceptional written English — your copy will be published on behalf of established journalism brands
Strong understanding of how editorial content performs on social platforms (article promotion mechanics, headline vs. pull-quote choices, threading, etc.)
Experience with at least one major scheduler (Sprout, Buffer, Later, Hootsuite, or similar)
Ability to switch voices across multiple brands without sounding generic
News and editorial sensibility — comfort handling sensitive stories with appropriate tone
Comfortable using AI tools (we use Claude extensively); experience with Claude Projects is a plus
Reliable internet, quiet workspace, ability to work US Eastern business hours (8 AM – 5 PM ET with an hour lunch break)
Nice to have:
Background in journalism, communications, or media studies
Experience with editorial CMSs (Ghost, WordPress, Contentful)
Basic analytics fluency (native platform analytics, Google Analytics)
Experience covering live events on social
Compensation and logistics
Full-time, remote role
Working hours: 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM US Eastern Time, Monday–Friday
Compensation: $650/month USD (negotiable based on experience)
Paid time off and Philippine holidays observed
Reports to the CEO
Works closely with the Project Operations Manager and the design team
