Social Media Manager (Contract)

<p>Empathy is transforming the way families navigate life’s most difficult times - from the loss of a loved one to other major life transitions. By combining technology with compassionate human care, we bring clarity, comfort, and peace of mind when it matters most.</p><p>We partner with leading employers, insurers, and financial institutions to deliver meaningful, human-centric support at scale. Today, Empathy supports over 50 million people across the US, Canada, and the UK.</p><p>Backed by top-tier investors including General Catalyst, Index Ventures, Adams Street, Aleph and Entreé Capital.
