Social Media & Digital Content Coordinator
Wisconsin Youth Symphony Orchestras · Madison, WI
Part-time, approximately 20 hours/week · Reports to the Director of Marketing & Communications Hybrid, with required on-site presence during Saturday rehearsals and select concerts Compensation: $23-$25/hour depending on experience.
About this role
Every Saturday, more than 500 young musicians walk into the WYSO Center for Music and spend the morning inside a Brahms symphony, a Star Wars suite, a percussion piece they couldn't play in September. Right now, almost none of that reaches anyone who isn't already in the building.
This is a new position, the first time WYSO will have someone dedicated to telling its story on social media. You'll be building the program from the ground up, working closely with the Director of Marketing & Communications, who owns the strategy and will protect your time so you can focus on the work.
The work is, at its heart, simple: be in the room when the thing is happening, capture it well, and shape it into stories that show what WYSO actually is: a place where young people discover what they're capable of becoming. If that sentence resonates with you more than a list of software proficiencies does, please keep reading.
What you'll do
Be present and capture. This is the core of the job, especially in the first several months. You'll spend Saturday mornings in rehearsal rooms and concert weekends backstage, shooting photo and short video on a phone(or your own camera). You'll get to know the orchestras, the conductors, the students, and the rhythm of a season, and you'll build a library of material that WYSO has never had.
Tell the story. You'll edit short-form video (primarily Instagram Reels), write posts in WYSO's voice, and publish on a consistent schedule (roughly three to four times a week during the season). The through-line is always the same: young people working and evolving. You'll work from a shared content calendar built around the concert cycle, enrollment season, and WYSO's development priorities.
Grow the community. You'll respond to comments and messages, help current families feel proud enough to share, and – over time – help WYSO reach the next generation of supporters: younger parents and professionals who care about music education and want to feel part of something.
Help us learn. Using platform-native analytics, you'll track what resonates and adjust. Nothing elaborate, just enough to make the next month smarter than the last.
Where the work lives
- Instagram is the primary channel and where most of your effort goes.
- Facebook is the community channel for current families; content is adapted from Instagram, not created separately.
- LinkedIn gets a monthly, more substantive post aimed at professionals and community leaders. You'll begin building these posts out in the second half of the year, once you've got the material.
- YouTube is the archive for concert footage and longer pieces.
We're deliberately not spreading across every platform. Depth on a few channels beats presence on all of them.
What this role is not
The Social Media & Digital Content Coordinator is not a design position: WYSO works with a graphic designer for print and brand assets. It's not a general communications inbox: requests for social content come through the Director of Marketing & Communications, so you can focus on the work rather than fielding asks from every direction. And it's not primarily a desk job.
Who we're looking for
You must have:
- A portfolio of short-form video and photography that shows a good eye. We care far more about what you've made than how long you've been making it.
- Comfort shooting in live, fast-moving settings (rehearsals, concerts, events) without being disruptive.
- Clean, warm, accessible writing
- Working fluency with mobile-first editing tools (CapCut, InShot, Lightroom mobile, or similar).
- Reliable transportation and real availability on Saturday mornings and concert evenings/weekends, September through May.
- Integrity and good judgment around working alongside young people and their families.
It helps if you have:
- A musical background of any kind, or genuine enthusiasm for what it looks like when kids make music together
- Experience in arts, education, or youth-serving organizations
- Familiarity with basic social analytics
- Experience with Canva or Adobe tools
We're not requiring a specific number of years of experience. A recent graduate with a strong reel and the right instincts is a serious candidate.
Schedule and logistics
Approximately 20 hours per week, with real week-to-week variation: heavier during concert weeks (Steenbock Fall Concerts in November, Winterfest in February, Percussion Extravaganza and Notes & Narratives in March, Bolz Spring Concerts in May), lighter in between. Saturday mornings on-site during the season are required. Editing and publishing can be done remotely. Summer is quieter and is when planning for the next season happens. Occasionally, we’ll ask you to cover an outside rental event at the WYSO Center to help showcase how rental prospects can use the facility for their own needs.
Our commitment to the young people we serve
WYSO is a youth organization, and this role will feature students under 18 in nearly everything it produces. We take that seriously. You'll work within a consent system that tracks family permissions, follow clear rules about how minors are identified in content, and respect every family's right to opt out. Protecting the students always comes before the post.
To apply
Send a short note about why this role interests you, a resume, and – most importantly – a link to a portfolio or reel showing your photo and video work, to jake@wysomusic.org. If you have work that shows people learning or performing, lead with that.
WYSO is an equal opportunity employer and welcomes candidates of all backgrounds.
Pay: $23.00 - $25.00 per hour
Expected hours: 20.0 per week
Benefits:
- Flexible schedule
Work Location: In person

Tips for Your Digital Content Specialist Job Search
Tailor your portfolio to content formats
Hiring managers for digital content roles look at your portfolio before your resume. Include work samples that show range across formats, like blog posts, email campaigns, and short-form video scripts, rather than listing content types you've worked with in the abstract.
Quantify content outcomes, not just output
Listings for digital content specialists almost always ask for impact metrics. Replace phrases like 'wrote articles' with results tied to organic traffic growth, email open rates, or engagement lifts. Even rough numbers from analytics dashboards make your resume stand out.
Filter openings by content management systems
Many postings require hands-on experience with a specific CMS like WordPress, HubSpot, or Contentful. Use those tool names as search filters to find roles where your stack already matches, so you're not competing against candidates who have the exact platform experience the employer wants.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists digital content specialist openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Prepare a content strategy take-home response
Digital content interviews often include a brief exercise asking you to outline a content calendar or audit an existing piece of copy. Practice writing a concise content brief in under 30 minutes so you're ready to show strategic thinking under a realistic time constraint.
Negotiate scope before accepting any offer
Before you sign, clarify whether the role is purely execution or includes strategy ownership, because that distinction shapes your title trajectory and workload. Ask directly how success is measured at 90 days and whether you'll manage freelancers or an editorial calendar on your own.
Digital Content Specialist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most digital content specialists?
The companies hiring the most digital content specialists right now include GRAY MEDIA, Sinclair Broadcast, and Nexstar Media Group, with the largest share of openings in New York, California, and Florida, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Demand is especially concentrated in healthcare systems, enterprise SaaS companies, and media organizations scaling their owned content channels.
How many digital content specialist jobs are remote?
About 48% of digital content specialist openings are fully remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting how writing and publishing workflows translate well to distributed teams. SEO content and email marketing sub-specializations tend to carry the highest share of fully remote postings, while roles requiring video production or on-site brand activation skew toward in-person or hybrid arrangements.
How do you become a digital content specialist?
Start by building a portfolio of published or self-published writing samples across at least two formats, such as blog posts and social media copy. Get comfortable with at least one CMS and one analytics platform, then pursue entry-level coordinator or associate content roles to build a professional record. Developing a working knowledge of SEO fundamentals and learning to write for conversion, not just traffic, accelerates the path to a specialist title.
Can you get hired as a digital content specialist without experience?
You can get hired with little formal experience if your portfolio demonstrates real output. Create content for a personal site, a nonprofit, or a freelance client so you have published samples to show. Focus applications on companies with structured associate or junior content programs in industries like education technology or health and wellness, where demand for content volume is high and on-the-job training is more common.
What does the digital content specialist interview process look like?
Most hiring processes start with a recruiter screen focused on your content background and tool experience, followed by a hiring manager interview that goes deeper into strategy and editorial judgment. Many employers then assign a practical exercise, such as drafting a content brief, editing a sample article, or auditing a competitor's blog. A final round typically involves a panel with a marketing director or cross-functional stakeholders who assess how your content approach aligns with broader business goals.
Where can I find and apply to digital content specialist jobs?
You can find and apply to digital content specialist jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from companies across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience and specialization, then apply directly to each one that fits.
