Research, test, and implement best practices from high-engagement, student-centered and early-career social accounts to increase reach, participation, and impact. Use social media as an extension of Braven’s career education model—reinforcing key mindsets, skills, deadlines, and opportunities that support Fellows’ progress toward internships and strong first opportunities. Establish clear metrics for social engagement that connect to downstream behaviors and outcomes, and iterate strategy accordingly.

Preferred Qualifications Experience designing engagement strategies for postsecondary students, alumni, or early-career professionals, particularly in workforce development or higher education contexts. Deep understanding of social media and digital engagement trends among Gen Z and emerging Gen Alpha audiences.
