Your Mission

Social media – and in particular Facebook - is a rapidly evolving part of the media landscape in Myanmar, and is going to be critical to how Proximity Designs delivers impact in the future. Whether it’s by communicating news about income-boosting products, spreading the word about techniques or generating leads for our on-the-ground team to follow up on, social media allows us to scale what we do efficiently and quickly. We’re at the start of this journey – there’s a lot to work out – and you will be leading our efforts as we test, learn and develop a social media and digital marketing approach that truly makes a difference in the lives of Myanmar’s farmers.

What You Will Do

- Oversee the strategy, execution, monitoring and optimization of digital marketing and social media activity (with a concentrated effort on Facebook in the beginning).
- Focus on two key areas (1) paid Facebook advertising and (2) development of a chatbot contact strategy.
- Help steer the technical development of the chatbot backend to ensure that it’s optimized to deliver on our strategy; developer skills not required.
- Develop and optimize our social media messaging to increase impact.
- Develop a robust evaluation program to measure the impact of our digital marketing efforts.
- Build extensive knowledge of Myanmar’s farmers’ emerging social media behavior, and become a thought-leader on the subject.
- Lead Proximity Designs’ small social media team, mentoring local strategist and content creators and building up their capabilities.
- Spend significant time addressing our customer-facing, Burmese-language social media accounts – but the ability to speak Burmese is not a mandatory.
