About the Role

AboutFaceDetroit is seeking a Community Content Coordinator to lead consistent, mission-driven social media storytelling across our platforms. This role is ideal for someone who can translate on-the-ground community work into compelling digital content that drives awareness, participation, and neighborhood pride.

You’ll create a light strategy and carry out hands-on content creation. There should be a strong emphasis on capturing real moments from events, cleanups, and neighborhood activations.

Qualifications

• 2+ years experience managing social media for a brand, nonprofit, or community initiative

• Strong content creation skills (photo, video, basic editing)

• Comfortable using tools like Instagram, CapCut, Canva, or Adobe Suite

• Ability to capture authentic, in-the-moment content at events

• Strong writing skills with an understanding of tone and audience

• Detroit-based or able to attend local events

• Contractor will deliver agreed-upon monthly content outputs, including posts, stories, and event coverage. Progress will be reviewed during monthly check-ins based on deliverables and overall performance, not hours worked.

• A strong visual eye and instinct for meaningful moments

• Interest in neighborhood development, public space, or grassroots work
