You'll own the social media presence for our four Longview dealerships plus Westlie Ford in Washougal - creating car content people actually want to watch, engaging with our community in the comments, protecting our reputation across review platforms, and getting out from behind the desk to capture content at the stores and at local events. This is a creator role with real ownership. You'll be on the lot shooting video, in the showroom capturing launches and deliveries, at community events representing our stores, and behind the screen turning it all into content that builds our brands. If you love cars, know what's trending, and can shoot and edit content that stops the scroll - this is your job., * Run the social media accounts for all five stores across Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and any new or emerging platforms we adopt. * Plan, create, and publish content calendars for each store - balancing inventory highlights, community stories, staff features, and trending formats. * Shoot video and photography on-site at the dealerships: walkarounds, deliveries, staff content, event coverage, and short-form video. * Edit content using CapCut, Premiere Pro, Instagram Edits, and similar tools - fast, platform-native, and on-trend. * Stay on top of social trends, sounds, and formats - and adapt them for automotive content that performs. Community Engagement and Comment Management * Manage responses to all comments across organic posts AND paid ads for the five stores - timely, on-brand, and human. * Escalate customer concerns from comments to the right store contacts and follow through to resolution. Reputation Management * Own review responses across Google, Facebook, Yelp, and other reputation platforms for all five stores. * Respond to reviews promptly and professionally - celebrating the wins, and handling critical reviews with care and escalation when needed. Local Events * Plan and execute local community events for the Longview-area stores - from concept through day-of execution. * Cover store and community events for content, including occasional weekend work. Store Support * Manage staff page updates on store websites as team members join and leave. * Handle business card and nametag ordering for the five stores., * Community people. You genuinely enjoy talking with customers, staff, and neighbors - online and in person. * Trend followers. You know what's working on TikTok and Instagram this week, not last quarter. * Car content creators. You want to make automotive content - walkarounds, delivery days, behind-the-scenes at the dealership. If cars aren't interesting to you, this won't be a fit. * Creators who ship. You'd rather post three good videos this week than one perfect video next month. ## Related Articles - [What Developers Really Need to Create Great Code Demos](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/658-what-developers-really-need-to-create-great-code-demos) - [A call for Guest Writers for the WeAreDevelopers Magazine](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/648-a-call-for-guest-writers-for-the-wearedevelopers-magazine) - [Starter Kit For Job Applications For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/7-starter-kit-for-job-applications-for-developers) - [Dev Digest 129 - Now that's what I call private data!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/468-dev-digest-129-now-that-s-what-i-call-private-data) - [Dev Digest 103 - Superb Owl Trafficking](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/388-dev-digest-103-superb-owl-trafficking) - [Dev Digest 133 - Back to Front](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/474-dev-digest-133-back-to-front)
