BDG is looking for a part-time Social Assistant to work across the company’s portfolio of brands, with a primary focus on TikTok. 

To succeed in this role, the candidate should have a strong interest in entertainment, lifestyle, and internet culture, with a particular emphasis on the output of digital publishers on social media. Experience running social media profiles for brands and/or personalities is desirable but not a requirement if the candidate can provide alternative evidence of their expertise in social media.

The ideal candidate will be highly organized, have a keen sense of initiative, and be confident in solving problems as they arise. A strong work ethic, flexibility, and discretion when dealing with confidential matters are all essential, as is a passion for creating first-class digital magazine content. 

Candidate must be based in the New York area and be committed to coming into the office 2-3 days per week.

This is a part-time role for 25 hours per week. The ideal candidate will be able to work flexibly when tentpole events like Fashion Month and Awards Season are taking place.
