About the Role

Anya Segen is looking for a Social Media & Newsroom Associate who is deeply interested in news, current affairs, politics, governance, public affairs and digital media.

This is not a conventional social media role focused only on scheduling posts or writing captions. The role combines the awareness and responsiveness of a newsroom with the creativity and execution of a digital communications team.

You will closely follow what is happening across news, public conversations and digital platforms, identify developments that matter, and help translate them into timely, relevant and engaging communication.

If checking the news is already part of your daily routine, you enjoy understanding the context behind major developments, and you are interested in how stories evolve across traditional and digital media, this role could be a strong fit.

Research & Digital Intelligence

• Conduct quick and structured research on topics, developments, individuals and public issues when required.
• Follow conversations and emerging narratives across social media platforms.
• Identify relevant trends, discussions and content opportunities.
• Build a strong understanding of how news cycles and digital conversations influence public communication.
