Volunteer Social Media Strategy Lead

Company: The Symbiosis Foundation

Help us build a clearer and more consistent social media presence
The Symbiosis Foundation is looking for a Volunteer Social Media Strategy Lead to help us plan, coordinate, and strengthen how we communicate our work online.
We are a growing nonprofit initiative focused on collaboration, learning, and community-driven social impact. Our activities include an Accelerator programme, events, community stories, volunteer opportunities, and partnerships.
We already have stories and activities worth sharing. We now need someone who can help us decide what to communicate, organise the work around it, and ensure that our social media presence tells a consistent story.
* Location: Remote
* Time commitment: Approximately 2–6 hours per week
* Compensation: This is an unpaid volunteer opportunity.
What You’ll Focus On

* Creating and maintaining a simple content calendar
* Identifying content themes, campaigns, and storytelling opportunities
* Coordinating with content creators and other team members
* Collecting updates and turning them into clear content briefs
* Helping ensure that our tone, messages, and visuals remain consistent
* Reviewing planned content and suggesting improvements
* Looking at basic social media results and identifying what we can learn from them
* Helping improve how we use channels such as LinkedIn and Instagram
This role is primarily focused on direction, organisation, and coordination. You will not be expected to create every post yourself, although occasionally supporting content creation may be helpful.

Previous experience with social media planning, communications, marketing, campaign coordination, or editorial work is helpful. Experience with LinkedIn, Instagram, Canva, content calendars, scheduling tools, or basic analytics is also welcome.
Formal leadership or management experience is not required. In this role, leadership means bringing structure, initiative, and consistency to our social media work.
What You’ll Gain
* Practical experience shaping a social media approach for a growing nonprofit
* The opportunity to coordinate purpose-driven communication
* Experience working with an international team
* Exposure to content planning, digital storytelling, and campaign development
