Big Brands Hiring Social
Hiring lists show major names—Marc Jacobs, eBay, CNN, JetBlue, JPMorganChase, Comcast and more—actively recruiting for social, content, and marketing roles across in-office and remote formats. Those openings underscore that recognizable-brand listings are available to early-career applicants who can present concrete portfolio work. (journalismgigsandmore.substack.com)
Marc Jacobs lists open roles on its corporate careers portal under current job postings. (marcjacobs.applytojob.com) eBay is actively advertising a Social Media Producer role (Runnemede, NJ) with ZipRecruiter showing a posted salary range for that listing. (ziprecruiter.com) CNN’s careers site (Warner Bros. Discovery) shows digital and audience-analytics openings that feed into social and content teams for CNN Digital. (careers.wbd.com) JPMorgan Chase maintains explicit early‑career pathways and has advertised Social Media/Content Creator associate roles alongside its “Students and graduates” programs. (jpmorganchase.com) Comcast/NBCUniversal continues to run job alerts and internship/early‑career tracks for marketing and owned‑media positions on its careers portal. (jobs.comcast.com) Remote hiring remains large-scale for entry-level social roles: Indeed currently indexes about 234 remote Social Media Coordinator openings, while Glassdoor lists roughly 896 remote social-media-marketing roles as of March 2026. (indeed.com) (glassdoor.com) The Houston market shows high entry‑level volume—Indeed surfaces about 153 entry‑level social media coordinator jobs in Houston—and the Houston Astros have active Social Media Apprentice and Social Media Coordinator postings (one listed Feb. 6, 2026) focused on gameday, live, and in‑game content production. (indeed.com) (recruiting2.ultipro.com) Hiring teams commonly probe both behavioral scenarios (e.g., crisis responses, campaign post‑mortems) and technical platform questions (KPIs, channel strategy); Indeed’s “36 social media interview questions” and Sendible’s 26‑question guide list representative behavioral and technical prompts recruiters use. (indeed.com) (sendible.com) Interviewers increasingly expect candidates to explain platform algorithm signals—Sprout Social’s 2026 coverage highlights TikTok’s prioritization of watch time and engagement as core ranking signals candidates should be able to discuss. (sproutsocial.com) Portfolio requirements employers cite are concrete: include campaign goals, target audience, tactics used, and measurable KPIs (engagement rate, CTR, conversions) as discrete case studies—Hootsuite provides a free social‑media portfolio template and Sprout Social recommends showing strategy plus outcomes in each case study. (blog.hootsuite.com) (sproutsocial.com) Actionable, immediate portfolio steps grounded in those guides: spin up a live site using a template (Wix or Hootsuite’s template), publish 2–3 well‑structured case studies with screenshots and exported analytics, and attach a one‑page PDF summary for quick reviewer scans.
