Social Media Manager - Full-Time Opportunity

Do you know the difference between a brand that posts and a brand that people actually talk about? We’re looking for a culturally fluent Social Media Manager to lead organic social for our millennial and Gen Z consumer brands. You’ll own strategy and execution across our clients’ channels, build and run UGC programs that turn real customers and creators into a brand’s best content engine, and spot the cultural moments worth jumping on before everyone else does. You’ll know what drives views and engagement on every platform, optimize relentlessly, and report on results in a way clients understand and act on. You’ll be the day-to-day lead for social media client relationships, the person who solves problems before they become problems, and the creative mind who knows exactly when a post can be made in Canva and when it needs a designer’s touch. This is an ideal position for someone who lives at the pulse of culture, brings strategic rigor to every idea, and thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative agency environment.
