Social Media Enthusiast!
Do you wake up and say to yourself “What can I do to help get dogs adopted today!!!” If you do, we need you to join our team!
At DIBS, we like to have a dynamic team working on our social media, with the focus being on the dogs bios! It is the role of the social media team to work with the foster parents to be sure the dogs true personality comes through (the good, the bad, and the unique).
We are looking for someone to join our social media team. Time requirements could be an hour a day, or it could be 5 minutes 10 times a day, so someone who has ready access to technology is ideal! Rescue is every day (weekends too) and at times, requirements will keep you hopping! Other times, it is quieter (but not always for long!) A day in the life of a DIBS Social Media volunteer may include updating their bio, chatting with foster parents, checking to ensure their youtube has the best videos and their playlist is posted on each site. You will also try to include a photo a day of the dog(s) you are working with on Facebook (and maybe insta) to ensure they get daily coverage. You may be needed to help your team with their dogs, as daily life commitments pop up. We need someone to understand the importance of this role in helping to find the best forever family for each dog!
Currently, we have great a great set-up and processes in place: we are not looking for changes there (We have lots of training resources and a good support system while you learn the method to the madness).
We are interested in a person to become entrenched in the day to day, and understand which dogs need applications, which dogs need a bio revamp, working with foster parents to extract important info, change status of dogs to start/stop incoming applications. This leader would be integrated with the core team, and with the big picture in mind, be able to lead the marketing of the dogs. Potential adopters rely on the information that this team provides, and the detail is key in obtaining relevant and successful applications.
Who are we looking for?
