Social Media & Communications Specialist

Where Every Post Tells Our Story: $25.00/hour

Location: Flowood, MS. Full-Time. In-Person. Monday through Friday, generally 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with a rotation that runs a few minutes past 5:00 PM and occasional evening and weekend events.

Every winner photo, Facebook Live, and post from the Mississippi Lottery 幸运168®飞艇开奖预测网-Mississippi Lottery全国统一历史记录预测_在线查询开奖最新数据 starts with someone who knows how to tell the story. As the Social Media & Communications Specialist for The Mississippi Lottery 幸运168®飞艇开奖预测网-Mississippi Lottery全国统一历史记录预测_在线查询开奖最新数据 Corporation, you’ll help bring our social media and communications strategy to life, from daily content and player engagement to winner celebrations and field events. (Note: Employees of the Mississippi Lottery 幸运168®飞艇开奖预测网-Mississippi Lottery全国统一历史记录预测_在线查询开奖最新数据 Corporation are not considered state employees.)

This role would be a great fit for someone who is just as comfortable on camera for a Facebook Live as they are editing a video, answering a player comment, or setting up at an event on a Saturday.

What You’ll Do:

• Develop and maintain a multi-platform social media strategy and content calendar aligned with organizational goals.
• Manage day-to-day activity across all social platforms, writing captions that match our brand voice and keeping the visual brand standard.
• Respond to player comments and messages quickly, professionally, and on brand.
• Create and edit content for YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and other platforms, including polished short and long form video.
• Host Facebook Live sessions on camera, and handle run-of-show, guest coordination, and comment moderation off camera.
• Build community through social trends, campaign content, winner promotion, and social contests, always brainstorming fresh ideas.
• Run boosted posts and targeted social ad campaigns, from setup through reporting.
• Watch for potential customer service issues or PR risks and alert the right teams.
• Analyze dashboards to make sure KPIs are being met.
• Greet winners, gather their information and photos for social media, press releases, and the website, and publish winner features online.
• Prepare the Daily Winner/Media report and lead the monthly employee newsletter.
• Support the VP of Communications & Social Media with promotions, and help at field events with setup, customer interactions, and breakdown.
• Work with marketing, sales, and leadership, and offer ideas and concepts for promotions and advertising.

You’re a Great Fit If You:

• Have a bachelor’s degree in communications or a related field (preferred).
• Have broad experience across major social media platforms and a strong grasp of digital best practices.
• Write, speak, and edit clearly and professionally for different audiences.
• Are proficient in Microsoft Office and familiar with social media management and scheduling platforms.
• Have experience with graphic design and video editing tools.
• Have experience in public-facing roles, event support, or customer engagement (preferred).
• Are comfortable working in a public-facing capacity and at occasional off-site events, including some evenings and weekends.
• Collaborate well across marketing, sales, communications, and leadership.

Why You’ll Love It:

• Competitive pay: $25.00/hour.
• Monday-Friday schedule, generally 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with a rotation that runs a few minutes past 5:00 PM and occasional evening and weekend events.
• Comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, vision, company-paid life and long-term disability insurance, retirement with company match, flex spending options, paid holidays, and generous PTO, among others.
• Creative, visible work for a mission-driven organization, with a front-row seat to winner celebrations.

Physical & Work Environment:

• Primarily an office-based role, with occasional field events that involve travel in a company-provided vehicle and exposure to varying weather.
• Frequent standing, walking, sitting, talking, hearing, and use of hands and arms.
• Occasional lifting of up to 50 lbs.
