About Us

ProTrain College is a nationwide provider of online continuing education and workforce training. We help individuals and organizations build better futures through flexible and affordable learning programs.

We’re looking for a Social Media Specialist who genuinely enjoys the world of social media and understands how to use it to create real connections and drive results. This role is ideal for someone who doesn’t just follow trends but is excited to experiment, test, and grow across a variety of platforms.

We want someone who’s open and adaptable to all the platforms we use now and those we should be using next. If you’re already creating content for TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube Shorts, Instagram, or even newer channels — we’d love to hear from you.

Experience with WordPress and Elementor is a plus, but not a requirement.

What You’ll Do

Social Media Management
  • Plan and manage content for all our active social platforms
  • Research and suggest new platforms or features we should be using
  • Stay on top of trends, changes in algorithms, and what’s working right now
  • Write and schedule posts, reply to comments, and build engagement

Content Creation
  • Create social-friendly graphics, short videos, and written content
  • Use tools like Canva or Adobe (or your favorites) to make content pop
  • Keep everything aligned with our brand, goals, and audience

Lead Generation
  • Use social platforms to support our lead generation efforts
  • Work closely with the Marketing Director to align social campaigns with broader goals
  • Track results and suggest ways to improve engagement and conversions
What We’re Looking For
  • 2+ years of experience managing social media for a business or brand
  • Strong understanding of platforms like Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube Shorts, and others
  • Comfortable jumping into new platforms and figuring things out quickly
  • Experience creating both visual and written content
  • Good communication and time management skills
  • Familiar with tools like Canva, Buffer, Meta Business Suite, or similar
  • Bonus if you know WordPress and Elementor, or have worked with CRMs like Salesforce or HubSpot
Why This Role Is Great
  • Work from anywhere
  • Flexible schedule (you pick your hours within our weekday window)
  • Be part of a small but growing marketing team
  • Lots of room to grow your skills and take on more responsibility over time
  • Your ideas will be heard and encouraged
Pay and Hours
  • 20 hours per week
  • $17 to $25 per hour, depending on experience
