Digital Coordinator (Social Media)

Full-time | Alexandria

The Local Project is one of the fastest-growing design publications across Australia, New Zealand, and North America. We celebrate extraordinary local design and its global impact through premium print, digital, video, and social content. With over 100 million impressions per month, we’re redefining design media on a global scale. In 2024, we expanded with The Local Production, a full-service creative agency dedicated to elevating brands through strategic storytelling and high-end content creation.

This is a hands-on execution role responsible for preparing, publishing and maintaining a large volume of social content each week. You will be coordinating our daily output across multiple channels and ensuring every post and story is visually engaging, technically accurate, aligned with platform best practices and delivered on schedule for The Local Project audience of more than four million people. This includes supporting the rollout of new social formats across Meta and other platforms, helping to introduce a new layer of lifestyle-aligned content that complements our architectural and design storytelling.

Your weeks will involve:

• Community management across all active platforms.
• Preparing and publishing Instagram Stories with accuracy and brand sensitivity.
• Coordinating, preparing and scheduling timely content and upcoming social campaigns (Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Facebook and Pinterest).
• Cross-check, prepare and schedule videos for The Local Project and The Commercial Project on YouTube across multiple weekly releases.
• Social reporting and performance tracking.

This role is highly structured, deadline-driven and requires consistency and strong personal accountability. Every piece of content you deliver contributes to a premium visual ecosystem viewed globally.
