As a Social Media Specialist at WPForms, you'll play a key role in growing our brand presence, building community, and driving engagement across our social platforms.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a remote, async environment, loves experimenting with formats (long & short-form video), and has a deep understanding of what resonates with WordPress users and small business audiences. You'll have full creative freedom, but also the responsibility to build a social presence that drives measurable growth and impact. 💡 Interested in applying? 🔍 Please read/follow the next steps outlined in "How to Apply" at the bottom of this listing.
