The Opportunity:
We are looking for a social media manager.

we need someone who owns it.

what will you own?
content engine
build and manage monthly content calendars
turn brand strategy into actual posts that move the needle
work with designers and editors to bring ideas to life
refine content pillars based on what performs, not guesswork
you should know the difference between content that looks good and content that works.
influencer and creator collaborations
identify creators who actually align with the brand, not just big follower counts
reach out, negotiate, brief, and manage end-to-end
ensure deliverables are sharp and on brand
build long-term relationships, not one-off shoutouts
we care about leverage, not vanity.
publishing and optimization
schedule and publish across platforms with intent
write strong captions and hooks
understand formatting differences between platforms
make sure nothing goes out half-baked
details matter here.
community building
manage comments and DMs like a human, not a bot
turn passive followers into active community

community is not an afterthought. It’s compounding equity.
trend awareness

bring ideas proactively instead of waiting for briefs
know when to jump on a trend and when to ignore it
test, measure, iterate
not everything viral is relevant. Judgment is key.
what are we looking for?
2 to 4 years in social media or content-led roles
strong platform understanding, especially Instagram and LinkedIn
clear writing skills and strong aesthetic instinct
comfortable coordinating with creators and internal teams
highly organized and deadline-driven

what success looks like
consistent output without constant hand-holding
social presence that feels intentional and sharp
strong creator network
