Social Media Editor (Remote)
Surround Sound News is building the country's largest network of local news outlets. Our mission is simple: make high-quality local news and information sustainable again.
Using a combination of AI and experienced journalists, we produce timely, relevant reporting for communities across the United States. Our outlets focus on the stories that matter most to residents—from local government and schools to businesses, development, sports and community events.
We're looking for a full-time Social Media Editor who can help make each of those outlets a daily habit for the communities they serve.

You will combine editorial judgment, audience strategy and analytics to determine which stories deserve attention, how they should be presented on each platform and what drives local engagement.
This role requires someone who enjoys moving quickly, testing new ideas and managing many brands simultaneously without losing sight of what makes each community unique.
