Associate Content Marketing Specialist

About the Role

Pace is looking for a Social Storyteller: a curious, optimistic, detail-loving human who knows social media innately and isn’t afraid to write. This role is perfect for someone early in their career who’s not fresh out of school, but still highly moldable and excited to grow.

You’ll help by writing social posts, designing visuals in Canva, and creating thoughtful, high-volume content that reflects how a brand thinks, works, and shows up in the world. You’ll jump between tasks, ideas, and formats without blinking and thrive in a fast-moving, collaborative environment.

If you’re the kind of person who sees a blank page as an opportunity (not a threat), enjoys digging into details, and genuinely wants to find the upside in things, this role is for you.

Note: You must be based in or willing to work in our Greensboro, NC office 2 days per week.

What You’ll Do

• Run and support a brand's social media channels with confidence and consistency
• Write social posts that are on brand: smart, human, and thoughtful
• Create social graphics and simple layouts using Canva
• Generate content: ideas, angles, and commentary that spark conversation
• Produce content at high volume while maintaining quality and clarity
• Write long-form content when needed (articles, emails, newsletters, captions, social-first thought pieces)
• Use AI tools thoughtfully to brainstorm, draft, refine, and scale content
• Jump from task to task easily (writing, designing, posting, editing) without losing momentum
• Collaborate with the core team to ensure social aligns with brand voice and business goals

What We’re Looking For

• A strong writer who understands tone, voice, and audience
• Someone who knows social (LinkedIn & Instagram primarily) intuitively and keeps up with how platforms actually work
• Comfort using AI tools as a creative and productivity partner
• An interest in content marketing and storytelling - not just posting for posting’s sake
• A naturally optimistic, positive person who looks for what’s possible
• Detail-oriented and unafraid to dig in, revise, and make things better
• Adaptable and energized by variety - you thrive when no two days look the same

Bonus Points If You…

• Have agency or brand-side experience (even at a junior level)
• Enjoy experimenting with formats, trends, and new ideas
• Are curious about strategy and want to grow beyond execution over time

WHAT WE OFFER:

• The salary for this position will range from $47,500-$55,000 depending on experience, education, geographical location, and other factors.
• A full suite of benefits is available following one full month of employment including medical, dental, vision, 401(k) with profit sharing, and other ancillary benefits. We even have a Life Balanced Account where you can get reimbursed for things like groceries or a haircut (yes, really!)
• PTO: Vacation, Recharge, Safe & Sick Time, Flexible Holidays + 10 standard paid holidays and a paid Day of Service
• Free financial wellness and planning and a robust EAP
• Additional fun perks like free tickets to the NC Zoo, Greensboro Grasshoppers baseball games, Greensboro Gargoyles hockey games, food trucks, and more!
