Founded in 1981 in partnership with whistleblowers, the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) is a nonpartisan independent watchdog that works to expose waste, corruption, abuse of power, and other instances where the government fails to serve the public. We champion reforms to achieve a more effective, ethical, and accountable federal government that safeguards constitutional principles. POGO has an over $7 million annual budget that supports a staff of over 50 employees.
POGO is looking for a talented Social Media Editor to be our newsroom's day to day social media lead. This role owns the execution of the POGO Investigates social strategy across X, Bluesky, LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook, turning investigations into native, platform-first content that delivers findings directly to readers and grows POGO Investigates as a credible presence in accountability journalism.

Responsibilities include:
- Owns the POGO Investigates social content calendar and produces the native package for every investigation launch: X and Bluesky threads and in-post summaries, LinkedIn long-form posts and native document posts, Instagram carousels, Reels, Stories, and data cards, and Facebook visual summaries.
- Writes social copy in the POGO Investigates voice (confident, intellectual, conversational, nonpartisan, independent; grounded in evidence rather than advocacy) that puts the findings ahead of the links and holds to the strategy's content mix targets (roughly 70 percent native, 30 percent link).

- Builds and maintains an evergreen content bank by auditing raw and published assets (interview footage, B-roll, testimony clips, data visualizations, podcast audio, published data) and clipping them into platform-ready formats.
- Drives email list growth in coordination with the Digital Engagement Manager through social, including link stickers, newsletter conversion pushes, and automation tools such as ManyChat where adopted.
- Tracks performance in Sprout Social and native platform analytics against the PI strategy's benchmarks (follower retention, platform engagement rates, content mix, LinkedIn growth) and reports weekly during launch and monthly thereafter.
- Works closely with the Digital team's social media manager and digital engagement staff to align the POGO Investigates accounts with POGO's main channels, including collaborative posts, cross-posting ,share content, and avoid duplication.
Qualifications include:
- Three years of experience running social media for a newsroom, news outlet, or journalism nonprofit, with a track record of packaging reported stories for social platforms.
- Demonstrated ability to create native content across formats, including written threads, carousels, short-form video, and data graphics, using tools such as Canva, Adobe Express or Creative Cloud, CapCut, or comparable software.
- Strong news judgment and story instincts: can identify the lead finding in a long investigation, write tight and accurate copy, and work within journalistic standards for sourcing and attribution.
- Excellent writing and editing skills with the ability to adapt voice by platform while staying consistent with a newsroom brand.
- Experience with social media management and analytics tools (Sprout Social or similar) and the ability to translate performance data into content decisions.
- Ability to work under deadline, manage a multi-platform calendar, and coordinate across reporters, newsroom leadership, editors, designers, and communications staff.
- Understanding of nonpartisan communications and the judgment to cover politically charged subjects without partisan framing.
- Commitment to POGO's mission and values, including equity and inclusion.
- (+) Experience at an investigative or accountability-focused outlet, or covering federal government, Congress, or public policy.
- (+) Basic video editing and motion graphics skills, and experience directing or shooting reporter-facing video.
- (+) Experience building or relaunching a social presence, including audience retention through a rebrand or acquisition.
