BDG is looking for a Part-Time Social Assistant to work on day-to-day content creation for Elite Daily, Scary Mommy, and BDG’s wider portfolio of brands. Responsibilities will have a heavy focus on Snapchat, but assistance on all social media platforms will also be part of the role. 

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 the ability to work independently and proactively are essential. 

Experience working with talent and assisting on high-profile video content is a plus, but not required – this role is for someone at the start of their career who is keen to learn on the job. 

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 temporary 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.

  • Monitor and share changes in social platform analytics, offering insight into room for improvement where possible
  • Collaborate with editorial staff, designers, and video editors to create high-quality, social-first content
  • Pull data for weekly and monthly traffic reports, and assist with quick turnaround insights requests
    • Candidate Profile:
  • 1-2 years of experience working in social media 
  • Demonstrable interest and/or experience in pop culture 
  • Ability to write optimized, smart social copy
