ABOUT LEADING EDGE

Leading Edge is elevating the people who power Jewish life. We define and raise the standard for talent, culture, and leadership across the Jewish nonprofit field, working with professionals, executives, and board leaders to build stronger organizations and drive our community forward. Behind every thriving Jewish nonprofit are the people who show up for a mission larger than themselves, and Leading Edge exists to invest in them.

WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS

The stories Leading Edge tells shape how our field understands its own potential, and social media is where much of that story reaches people first. The Social Media Copywriter will support Leading Edge's communications team by producing polished, on-brand copy that extends the reach of our research, programs, and field-defining ideas to the professionals, executives, and board leaders who make up our community.

CORE AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITY

This role will report directly to the Vice President, Marketing and Communications, and will play a key part in bringing Leading Edge's voice to Instagram, LinkedIn, and Facebook, translating our work into warm and confident content that promotes a sense of belonging.

•    Plan, write, design, and schedule two to three organic and sponsored social media posts each week, promoting Leading Edge programs, initiatives, research, and announcements across Instagram, LinkedIn, and Facebook, in alignment with our brand voice and content calendar.

•    Identify social-friendly clips from long-form video content and write captions for staggered publication, producing one to two reels or video clips each month.

•    Develop and maintain an integrated social media content calendar aligned with campaigns, research releases, events, and key organizational moments.

•   Partner with the Senior Communications Associate to plan, launch, and manage paid social media campaigns on LinkedIn and Meta Business Suite, including audience targeting, budget pacing, ad creative and copy, A/B testing, and ongoing optimization.

•    Respond to comments and messages in a voice consistent with Leading Edge's tone.

•    Monitor social media trends, tools, and platform changes, and recommend adjustments to keep Leading Edge's presence current.

•    Produce monthly quantitative and qualitative reports on social content performance.

•    Coordinate with the communications team on priorities, deadlines, and revisions, and be available during core hours (10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. ET).
