Job description

We're looking for a Social Media Manager to own social media presence across multiple platforms for a growing company. You will develop and execute content strategies, manage posting schedules, engage with audiences, and track performance across Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, Facebook, and X. If you have an eye for content, understand what drives engagement across different platforms, and can move between strategy and execution without losing quality, this role is a strong fit.

Why You'll Want to Join

  • You will be paid in USD (bi-monthly: every 15th and 30th)
  • Paid Time Off in accordance with company policy
  • Observance of Holidays per company guidelines
  • 100% remote setup so you can work wherever you're most productive
  • This role requires availability during US business hours
  • High-ownership role with direct creative latitude across multiple platforms
  • Work inside a growing company with a clear brand direction and room to build something real

What You'll Work On

Social Media Strategy and Management

  • Own and manage company social media accounts across Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, Facebook, and X
  • Develop and maintain a content calendar aligned with business goals, campaigns, and key dates
  • Schedule and publish content consistently across all platforms
  • Monitor comments, messages, and mentions and engage with the audience in a timely and on-brand manner
  • Stay current on platform algorithm changes, trends, and best practices and adapt strategy accordingly

Content Creation

  • Write compelling captions, copy, and short-form content tailored to each platform's tone and format
  • Create or coordinate social media graphics and visual assets using tools such as Canva or Adobe
  • Script and produce short-form video content for Instagram Reels and TikTok
  • Ensure all content is consistent with brand voice, visual identity, and messaging guidelines

Paid Media Support

  • Assist in the setup, monitoring, and optimization of paid social campaigns across Meta, LinkedIn, and TikTok
  • Support audience targeting, budget management, and ad creative coordination
  • Monitor paid campaign performance and flag underperforming ads with recommendations

Analytics and Reporting

  • Track and report on key social media metrics including reach, impressions, engagement rate, follower growth, and content performance
  • Translate data into actionable insights and content recommendations
  • Identify content gaps and opportunities based on performance trends

What You Bring

  • Proven experience managing social media accounts across multiple platforms professionally
  • Strong written English with the ability to adapt tone and voice across different platforms and audiences
  • Proficiency in design tools such as Canva or Adobe for creating social media graphics and assets
  • Experience scripting and editing short-form video content for Instagram Reels or TikTok
  • Familiarity with social media scheduling and management tools such as Buffer, Hootsuite, Later, or similar
  • Understanding of organic social media strategy and platform-specific best practices
  • Comfortable working independently and managing a content calendar without close oversight
  • Strong attention to detail with consistent, on-brand output across all deliverables

Nice to Have

  • Experience running paid social campaigns on Meta, LinkedIn, or TikTok
  • Background in content writing, copywriting, or SEO-adjacent content
  • Familiarity with social media analytics platforms such as Sprout Social, Iconosquare, or native platform insights
  • Experience growing social accounts from scratch or relaunching dormant brand presence
  • Background in a specific industry such as B2B SaaS, e-commerce, lifestyle, or professional services

How to Apply

Please include:

  1. Your updated resume
  2. A portfolio link or examples showing at least 2 to 3 social media accounts or campaigns you have managed, including the platforms, your role, and results where available
  3. A short Loom video (1 to 2 minutes) introducing yourself, walking through a social media campaign or account you are proud of, and describing the strategy behind it and the results it produced

Only candidates who submit both examples and a Loom video will be moved to the next step of the hiring process.

If you are a creative, data-informed social media manager who can own multiple platforms simultaneously and build an engaged audience from the ground up, this role gives you the creative scope and the direct impact to do your best work.
