AI Social Media Coordinator (Pacific Time Hours)

🇿🇦 **Up to ZAR 367,000** per year, on a full time, permanent employment contract 🌎 Fully remote working from anywhere in South Africa! 🏖️ 33 Days Paid Leave and Benefits ✨ Working with globally recognisable brands in US Entertainment 💻 Work with modern hardware, social publishing tools, productivity systems, and AI-enabled workflows. **The standard working hours for this role are 9:30am–6pm Pacific Time, Saturday to Wednesday. For team members based in South Africa, this will typically be 6:30pm–3am SAST during US daylight saving time and 7:30pm–4am SAST during US standard time.** **Who We Are** Founded in 2008, Storm Ideas is an international team working with globally recognised clients, particularly across the US TV and entertainment industry. Our work sits at the intersection of media, technology, creativity, and operations. We produce social content at scale, support major entertainment brands, build products, and keep improving how our teams work. We are remote-first, fast-moving, and increasingly AI-native in how we operate. AI tools and agentic workflows are becoming part of the way our teams plan, check, coordinate, research, report, and improve work. The standard is not “let AI do it”. The standard is better work: clearer briefs, faster execution, sharper checks, stronger judgment, and repeatable workflows that keep quality high. **About The Role** We are hiring an AI Social Media Coordinator to help run the day-to-day social presence of major US TV and entertainment brands. The craft is familiar: scheduling, reviewing, coordinating, optimising, checking, escalating, and keeping content moving. How we do that work is changing fast. This is not a pure creative content role and it is not passive admin. The core of the job is client-safe social media operations: making sure content is scheduled, checked, approved, published, documented, and improved with strong attention to detail. You will first learn what good looks like for our clients and why it matters. Then you will work with Storm’s social tools, workflow systems, and AI-enabled ways of working to help make the role faster, clearer, and more reliable. The strongest candidates will already be practical and curious about AI. We are not looking for someone who uses AI only as a search box or autocomplete. We are looking for someone who can brief tools carefully, use them for bounded pieces of work, review what comes back with a critical eye, and keep improving how they use them. If that already feels like how you work, this role is likely to suit you. **What You’ll Make Happen** - Put the client experience and publishing accuracy at the heart of everything you do. - Schedule, review, and coordinate social content across social networks and YouTube channels. - Clear post dependencies proactively, including assets, copy, captions, approvals, account access, platform requirements, timings, and client expectations. - Coordinate with client contacts and Storm’s content production, copywriting, captioning, and social teams so work moves without avoidable gaps or surprises. - Use AI tools and workflow systems to support repeatable coordination work, including calendar planning, dependency chasing, content checks, research, account audits, reporting, and documentation. - Review AI-assisted work critically before it reaches clients, platforms, or internal stakeholders. - Research clients’ shows, movies, channels, competitors, and audiences so social recommendations are grounded in useful context. - Monitor social platform updates and identify practical changes that matter for client accounts. - Optimise YouTube content with effective titles, thumbnails, copy, metadata, and publishing checks. - Help document and improve internal processes so that good ways of working become repeatable across the team. - Escalate clearly when something is blocked, risky, unclear, late, or outside your authority, bringing evidence and a sensible next step. **Your Expertise** - Hands-on so…
