You’ll set the playbook for how InfoWars shows up across platforms and direct a roster of writers and creators to execute it at the speed the internet demands, all while also making sure the trains are running. We are building a vibrant content slate with many contributors, so success means creating a unified tone of voice with many different inputs and having the judgment to know which risks are worth taking.
This is a fast-paced job with high levels of autonomy and responsibility.
About The Role
As the Social Media Lead of InfoWars, you will own how InfoWars sounds and looks everywhere it shows up, including YouTube, BlueSky, TikTok, Instagram, and whatever platform comes next. You’ll partner with our editorial team to set strategy for our channels and then assign, approve, and shape the work of the writers and creators bringing it to life, making sure a dozen different voices land as one.
Location: Chicago Area or Los Angeles preferred, but open to remote

- Manage the social media content calendar, ensuring a consistent flow of high-quality posts across platforms such as YouTube, BlueSky, Instagram, and emerging digital channels. This means working within our systems (Sprout, Trello, Google, Slack, etc.) and developing your own.
