About the School

Wesleyan College is a small private liberal arts college in Macon, GA. Founded in 1836 as the first college in the world to grant degrees to women, Wesleyan takes seriously the education of women both in and out of the classroom. Our small campus provides opportunities for individual attention and leadership. Wesleyan’s academically challenging, inclusive environment helps prepare students to live purposeful and connected lives. At the heart of this residential campus is our students and their experience. We work tirelessly to enhance the student experience through active and diverse engagement opportunities.

About the Role

Wesleyan College seeks a Digital Content & Social Media Coordinator to help tell the Wesleyan story across our website, social media channels, e-newsletters, and other digital touchpoints. Reporting to the Creative Director, the Coordinator partners with Advancement/Alumnae Relations, Recruitment & Admissions, Student Affairs, and Athletics to create and publish engaging content that advances the College’s brand and reaches key audiences - including prospective students and families, alumnae, donors, and the broader community. The role executes and helps optimize digital content plans that support the College’s strategic communication and marketing initiatives and contributes ideas based on performance data and current platform trends.

What You’ll Do

• Lead day-to-day social media execution: plan, create, schedule, and monitor content (posts, stories, short-form video); engage with audiences; track performance and recommend adjustments.
• Create audience-appropriate content: write clear, compelling copy for social media, web pages, email campaigns, and other marketing materials; draft basic press releases as needed.
• Maintain a content pipeline: source and gather student, alumnae, faculty, and community stories; prepare short- and long-form content for use across social, web, and email.
• Run a proactive content calendar: monitor campus events and collaborate with campus partners (faculty, student affairs, athletics) to capture photos, short video clips, and quick-turn social posts.
• Update the website: perform basic CMS edits (copy, images, links) on selected pages and coordinate with IT/Marketing for larger web projects.
• Apply brand standards: work with the Creative Director and Marketing team to ensure all digital content follows established brand, visual-identity, and style guidelines.
• Support email/e-newsletters: build and send e-newsletters for alumnae and community audiences; assist with list segmentation and basic performance reporting (open/click rates).
