Our team members have different professional and educational backgrounds but share the same passion to create communication that sparks a dialogue and moves the needle.


ROLE DESCRIPTION


As social media manager you will be responsible for planning, producing and publishing content on the social media platforms where we are active, monitoring our feeds, engaging in dialogue, and following-up on performance and adjusting accordingly.
