Legal Associations Management (LAM) is a full-service association management and event management company serving the legal industry. We manage legal associations and produce national conferences, academies, and events that bring together attorneys and legal professionals from across the country. Our marketing and social media efforts are primarily focused on promoting these events while also supporting the growth and engagement of the legal associations we manage.
Our environment is casual, fast-paced, and collaborative, with most of the year focused on building and executing high-quality event experiences. Team members are encouraged to take initiative, share ideas, and grow personally and professionally.
We’re looking for someone who is creative, goal-driven, action-oriented, and excited to help tell the stories behind our events, speakers, attendees, and the legal communities we serve.
Role Overview
The Social Media Manager will oversee content across Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube Shorts, and Reddit for multiple LAM-managed brands, professional associations, and national events.
This role goes beyond simply filling a content calendar. The Social Media Manager will be responsible for creating engaging, strategic content that builds brand authority, strengthens community, supports organizational goals, and maximizes the value of the content and expertise already available across LAM.
The ideal candidate should be equally comfortable writing a strong caption, identifying the best 30 seconds of a speaker interview, creating an engaging Reel, responding to a direct message, and spotting an industry conversation that could become our next great piece of content.
