Job description

We're currently looking for a creative and strategic Social Media Manager to join our growing team. You need to have a talent for telling stories through copy, images, and video, and a deep understanding of how to build and maintain an identity online. As the first hire in our Marketing/Social Media department, you will need to straddle multiple roles, be proactive, and have the ability to work cross-functionally while managing various projects.

Requirements

You will be responsible for —

Staying up to date with the latest social media best practices and technologies.
Creating quick content for social media, as well as more infrequent (but important) long-form content for our blogs/newsletters.
Identifying all the key platforms our brand needs to be active on, and then creating a plan to make it happen.
Planning/ writing/shooting/scheduling and optimizing daily posts across multiple social platforms. Remember that we are a remote team with few opportunities to meet in person, conduct photoshoots, etc. You need to be able to create content that humanizes the team regardless of this challenge.
Maintaining and communicating a consistent brand online. You need to understand who we are and ensure that everything we put out aligns with our identity. You will create content with an elevated aesthetic that is in line with our brand, and write clear, engaging copy.
Engaging our audience online in real-time conversation, and identifying more opportunities to do so.
Delivering data-informed performance reports that measure both post-level performance trends and broad reach and business impact.
Working closely with the design, product, and tech teams to create relevant content.
Designing our growth and awareness strategy with remarkable social campaigns
Growing the social media and marketing team as needed

You have —

Proven work experience in social media and community management.
Excellent written communication skills. You can write fun, short captions, as well as clear long form content.
A great eye for design. Even if you're not a designer, you have an intuitive understanding of what looks good and what does not.
Basic graphic design and photo editing skills. We have a design team that will provide you with templates and basic brand guidelines, but in general, you will be overseeing and executing all social media content with the support of a visual designer.
Good judgment and impeccable taste. You have an intuitive understanding of what's cool and what's not. You speak fluent Internet, avoid corporate brand speak, and can recognize and engage with trends early. You are casual without being frivolous, and never, ever cringey.
Ideas and opinions about how we can build our online presence and can offer constructive criticism when you disagree with how things are being done.
The ability to work independently, be proactive, and thrive in a fast-paced environment.

Bonus points for —

Illustration or motion/video skills
Prior experience managing paid marketing campaigns.
