Wanting to join a company that is making a difference in the world?

Looking for a job that offers ultimate flexibility (100% remote) while still actually challenging you?

If so, we want to hear from you!

At The Scholarship System, we’re driven by our mission and core values of helping families pay for college without student debt (yep - you read that right. We help students get scholarships! And yes - it is possible.) In fact, our families have secured over $16 million in scholarships so far!

Workplace ideals like work/family life balance and gaining new skills and knowledge are a part of who we are. When you join The Scholarship System team you truly become a partner in our shared success.

This Role’s Purpose:
The purpose of this role is to own and grow The Scholarship System’s social media presence, increasing reach, engagement, and conversions through strategic content and community management.

You’ll also collaborate with our team during launches, driving excitement and engagement around our mission to help families graduate debt-free.

We’re looking for someone who takes full ownership of results — someone who doesn’t just “manage posts,” but proactively seeks out opportunities to expand our impact, test new ideas, and keep our content relevant and fresh.

Copywriting and visual creation for social posts, stories and reels
Measure the impact of social media on the overall marketing efforts
Tiktok + Instagram + Facebook strategy development and implementation
Support audience during live launches & promotions, primarily on social media outlets
Replying back to send appropriate links and answer questions on social posts and inboxes
Occasionally taking knowledge with social copy and creatives and writing email copy when it makes sense
Managing all social media aspects for live launches (2-3x/year) including posts in launch groups, social media, Manychat, broadcast channel, etc.
Setting up Manychat automations (i.e. comment X and we'll send you the link)
Documenting processes in Asana and creating SOPs for easy implementation
Potential future project: Using social media to launch new podcast and gain listenership

Success in this role looks like:

Increased reach and engagement on social media by 20%+ within 6 months
Consistent, high-quality posting across all major platforms (ideally daily)
Strong community interaction (comments, DMs, Manychat engagement) increased by 10% within 6 months
Clear weekly reporting on performance and insights
On-time, creative execution during launches to increase leads and conversions (KPIs set in the new year)

You’ll love this role if you value:

Doing purposeful work that impacts real families
A remote culture built on trust, communication, and respect
Flexibility — we care more about results than rigid hours
A small, collaborative team where your ideas are heard
