Position Introduction:
The LLC is seeking a creative, platform-savvy student to serve as its Social Media & Outreach Strategist. This role owns the MLLL department’s digital presence — building awareness, growing engagement, and telling the department’s story across Instagram and other social platforms.
This is not a “post-and-forget” role. We’re looking for someone who thinks strategically about content, actively proposes new ideas, understands what resonates with a student audience, and treats the department’s social media as something worth building — not just maintaining. Day-to-day LLC support duties are a shared team responsibility alongside the primary strategy work.
Duties include but are not limited to the following:
- Social Media Strategy & Content
- Own and manage the MLLL and LLC Instagram presence, including feed posts, stories, reels, and highlights
- Develop and maintain a semesterly content calendar aligned with key moments: placement season, cultural events, enrollment periods, and department milestones
- Write engaging, on-brand captions, calls-to-action, and short scripts for video voiceovers
- Propose and lead recurring content series — such as faculty spotlights, student language journeys, “Meet the Department” features, and language tips — without being prompted
- Coordinate with the Videographer and Designer to brief, request, and schedule content assets needed for planned posts
- Stay current on social media trends, platform updates, and content formats relevant to a university audience
- Outreach & Promotion
- Actively promote LLC and MLLL events, programs, and services across digital channels to increase student awareness and foot traffic
- Build and maintain relationships with language club leaders to cross-promote events and expand organic reach
- Identify and pursue collaboration opportunities with other OU departments, student organizations, and campus media
- Draft promotional copy for email announcements, digital signage, and other departmental communications as needed
- Analytics & Reporting
- Monitor Instagram Insights and other analytics tools to track reach, engagement, follower growth, and content performance
- Prepare a brief monthly report for the LLC Manager summarizing performance trends and recommendations
- Use data to inform content decisions and refine strategy over time
- LLC Daily Support — Shared Team Responsibility
- Assist students with language placement tests and assessment procedures
- Respond to placement-related emails and direct student inquiries to appropriate resources
- Support faculty and staff with day-to-day administrative and technical requests
- Maintain a clean, welcoming, and professional atmosphere in the LLC space
- Work collaboratively with LLC staff and student team members on larger departmental projects
