Full Description
The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world's worst humanitarian crises, helping to restore health, safety, education, economic wellbeing, and power to people devastated by conflict and disaster. Founded in 1933 at the call of Albert Einstein, the IRC is one of the world's largest international humanitarian non-governmental organizations (INGO), at work in more than 40 countries and 29 U.S. cities helping people to survive, reclaim control of their future and strengthen their communities. A force for humanity, IRC employees deliver lasting impact by restoring safety, dignity and hope to millions. If you're a solutions-driven, passionate change-maker, come join us in positively impacting the lives of millions of people world-wide for a better future.
IRC UK is part of the IRC global network, which has its global headquarters in New York. Our team in the UK works to raise profile, deliver policy and practice change, and increase funding to help restore health, safety, education, economic wellbeing and power to people devastated by conflict and disaster. Since 2021, IRC UK has also provided integration services directly to refugees in England.
In Europe, the IRC also has offices in Berlin, Bonn, Brussels, Geneva and Stockholm.
This role is jointly managed by the UK-based Senior Manager for Digital Engagement and the US-based Digital Engagement Director.
**The Purpose of the Role**
The Social Media Content Producer will focus on developing creative content that drives reach and engagement across social channels. Working on integrated campaigns while also driving evergreen pipelines, they will be help deliver on our UK ambitions to position IRC as the go-to humanitarian NGO protecting people forced to flee conflict and crisis.
The Social Media Content Producer will produce and disseminate compelling content (with a focus on short-form, straight-to-social videos and other multimedia formats) that will grow the IRC’s brand online, engage a loyal following, and ultimately help encourage audiences to support IRC UK’s work.
The role sits across our key social channels, including both B2C (Instagram, Bluesky, Facebook and TikTok) and B2B (LinkedIn), helping managing what we publish and when. As part of IRC’s Global Digital Engagement team, they will work with multiple collaborators, across markets, to identify, craft, package up, publish and amplify stories that can live across platforms, with real potential to engage the right people at the right time.
The ideal candidate thrives in storytelling that drives social engagement. They will bring a deep understanding of what makes content perform—while still staying true to IRC’s core mission and values—and an appetite for proactively staying across cultural moments and social innovations.
They will have experience generating social-first ideas, editing social video, graphics, and copy writing for social. They will have their fingers on the pulse when it comes to trial and experimentation, with strong interest in how and why brands such as the IRC could engage social influencers. Bringing a passion for social analytics and measurement, they will also understand the nuances of B2B versus B2C content.
