Social Media Manager to Alva Labs
🏽 Candidates over 40 are half as likely to get a job offer compared to younger applicants if the company knows their age.

🏽 When women hide their gender in a job application they receive the same amount of callbacks as male applicants with the same level of experience. But when they declare their gender, they get 30% fewer callbacks.

People with an Arabic-sounding name are 60% less likely to get callbacks to interviews, regardless of their professional background.

The company
Alva Labs offers a SaaS solution to help global companies grow their team in a scientific way. Alva has created a unique candidate assessment platform that helps companies build their organisations with the right people in the right place, completely free from bias and subjectivity. By combining state-of-the-art psychometrics, data science, and an obsession with candidate experience, it provides the needed tool for data-driven talent acquisition.

We are growing 2-3X per year and are in the exciting phase of launching Alva in new markets.

The role
Let’s then take a look at a typical work week in the life of a Social Media Manager at Alva:

Monday → Together with the marketing team, you sync the social media calendar and make sure you’re on top of everything that will be posted this week. You and your fellow marketeers set out a plan for how to crack the next market Alva wants to focus on.

Tuesday → Start your day with a breakfast buffet at the office! Then you help one of our many influencers with Linkedin content, as well as analyzing data from the past week and ensuring a broader reach and higher conversion rates.

Wednesday → Social selling workshop with the sales team. Time to make sure they all execute on your strategic plans!

Thursday→ Working session together with our Art Director to create more content. Perhaps a lunch walk during the weekly digital Lunch n Learn session?

Friday → Time to wrap up the week before office AW! You might do some repurposing from our popular digital training sessions or webinars and make sure our audience never misses a learning opportunity.

You
We are looking for a social person who finds it easy to connect across teams, who can see opportunities and react in a timely manner. You are organized and a big-time multitasker. To a large extent, you are a digital native (and comfortable working in English, given that is our internal and external language).

If you have experience working professionally with social marketing that might help you early on of course, but hey, as long as you are the right one for us, we don’t really mind a weird background 😏

Your future colleagues
We are a team of 50+ people, representing 16 different nationalities and a wide selection of professional backgrounds. And all of that is absolutely fantastic, but the true beauty is the trust and warmth you will experience. You will be fully supported and have so many brilliant minds to learn from and ask for guidance. To quote our CEO during our last company trip, “It feels like hanging out with a bunch of old friends”.

If you want to creep out on this (perhaps your future) team (https://www.notion.so/alvalabs/People-9b32574c8b3747759680da1dbda59b35), fire away!

Why join Alva?
The problem we are solving is not just engaging and interesting (the combination of psychological science and statistics, with a large chunk of candidate experience obsession, what’s not to love?), but it is also something that has a tremendous impact on both people and businesses. You will have the opportunity to work with something that truly makes a difference.

With 250+ customers, strong growth, happy users, and 160,000+ assessed candidates, there is a lot of greatness to build on. We are now entering an exciting phase of our company journey, where we are doubling down on new markets and an international expansion. The company and the team have grown a lot in the last couple of months (150% more customers, and 250% more employees during 2021, so far…). And we are just getting started! There will be so many more opportunities to come.

What’s more - we have flexible work hours, where you can decide for yourself what works best for you. You will get seven weeks of vacation, an on-market salary, a generous preventive care benefit, and a few other neat perks. You can read all about our benefits here (https://www.notion.so/alvalabs/Benefits-1abeeb8de8004f6ab915f2fced70f057) and our company values here (https://www.notion.so/alvalabs/Alva-Values-630a69c6c72642f2b1caab5dab55b953).
