About Ron's
Ron's Ice Cream & Bowling is a family-owned local business known for homemade ice cream, bowling, community involvement and family fun. With locations in Hyde Park, Dedham and Westwood, Ron's has been a favorite destination for generations of local families.
We are looking for a dependable, organized and creative Social Media Coordinator to keep our social media current, engaging and consistently planned.
About the Role
Our team will provide much of the photography, video, promotional information and behind-the-scenes content used on social media.
The Social Media Coordinator will turn those materials into engaging Instagram and Facebook content, maintain a consistent posting schedule and make sure we are prepared for important holidays, promotions and seasonal opportunities.
We are also looking for someone who stays current with social media trends and can proactively recommend the kinds of photos and videos our team should capture. This person will help guide our content gathering by providing clear, practical ideas, prompts and shot lists in advance.
The ideal candidate will not wait for assignments. They will bring ideas, identify opportunities and communicate what content is needed before it is time to post.
Responsibilities
- Plan and maintain a social media calendar at least four weeks in advance.
- Create approximately two to three Instagram and Facebook posts, Reels or carousels each week.
- Create and schedule regular Instagram and Facebook Stories.
- Write captions in Ron's friendly, natural and community-focused voice.
- Edit provided photos and videos using Canva, CapCut, Adobe Express or similar tools.
- Stay current with relevant social media trends, formats, audio and content styles.
- Recommend trends that make sense for the Ron's brand rather than following trends simply because they are popular.
- Provide the Ron's team with specific recommendations for photos and videos to capture.
- Create simple content prompts or shot lists before store visits, events and promotions.
- Plan ahead for major holidays, seasonal promotions, food-related observances and local events.
- Identify opportunities for timely content well before materials are needed.
- Occasionally visit a Ron's location when original content is needed.
- Bring fresh promotional and content ideas to the team.
Qualifications
- Strong organizational and time-management skills.
- Ability to manage deadlines independently without frequent reminders.
- Experience creating or managing content for Instagram and Facebook.
- Strong understanding of Reels, Stories, short-form video and current social media trends.
- Good judgment about which trends are appropriate for a family-oriented local business.
- Experience with Canva, CapCut, Adobe Express or similar tools.
- Strong writing, proofreading and communication skills.
- Ability to give clear direction to others gathering photos and videos.
- Previous experience managing social media for a business, nonprofit or organization is preferred.
- This role could be a good fit for a recent graduate, freelancer or someone currently working in social media who is looking to add a fun local brand to their portfolio.
What Success Looks Like
- The social media calendar remains at least four weeks ahead.
- Important holidays and promotional opportunities are never missed.
- Content is created, approved and scheduled consistently.
- The Ron's team knows what photos and videos to gather well before they are needed.
- Relevant trends are identified and adapted thoughtfully for the Ron's brand.
- Communication is proactive rather than reactive.
- Content remains authentic, timely and connected to the local community.
