Queen Elizabeth II wants to hire a social media star

Queen Elizabeth II is looking for Twitter royalty — a well-seasoned social media star to expand her online reign.

The British Monarchy is hoping the right candidate for the new $71,000 a year gig will grow the queen’s Internet footprint as its new Head of Digital Engagement, according to a job posting on the royal website.

“Whether you’re covering a state visit, award ceremony or royal engagement, you’ll make sure our digital channels consistently spark interest and reach a range of audiences,” the listing said. “With an eye to the future, you’ll work to hone and shape our digital communications through sharing best practice, understanding new technologies and stimulating creativity.”

Applications for the job– described as “fast paced” and “deadline driven” are due Sunday,

“The reaction to our work is always high-profile, and so reputation, brand and impact will be at the forefront of all you do,” the description reads.

The queen, who turns 90 Thursday, also threw in a few royal perks including free lunch, a complete benefits package and 33 days of vacation for the position, which only requires 37.5 hours of work a week.

But the job description says the biggest reward is “having your work shared around the world.”

Her Majesty made her Twitter debut back in Oct. 2014 when she tweeted from the London Science Museum.

“It is a pleasure to open the Information Age exhibition today at the @ScienceMuseum and I hope people will enjoy visiting. Elizabeth R.,” she wrote.

Since then, the @BritishMonarchy account has accrued more than two million followers and sent out more than 22,500 tweets with the most recent celebrating her milestone birthday.

“.@RoyalMail celebrates #Queenat90 with a specially commissioned Stamp Sheet of 4 generations of the Royal Family,” it said along with a photo of the Queen and her husband, Charles, alongside Prince William and his adorable son George.

And while she doesn’t have nearly as many followers as Taylor Swift or Kim Kardashian, the Queen beats out her grandkids by a long shot.

Kensington Palace’s online audience — the account for Prince William and Kate Middleton as well as Prince Harry — only has 629,000 followers.
