We’re looking for a creative, trend-aware Social Media Marketing Manager to help us build a strong online presence and create content that drives attention, engagement, and organic growth.

This is an early-career, hands-on startup role for someone who understands social media, internet culture, storytelling, and what makes people stop scrolling.

What You’ll Do
  • Develop and execute creative social media strategies across relevant platforms
  • Create concepts for short-form videos, posts, graphics, campaigns, and product content
  • Develop compelling hooks, captions, scripts, and messaging that encourage engagement
  • Turn product features and technical concepts into simple, entertaining, and shareable content
  • Identify emerging trends, formats, and cultural moments that can generate organic reach
  • Collaborate with product, engineering, and leadership teams to understand our products
  • Experiment with different content formats, creative styles, and messaging approaches
  • Monitor content performance and use analytics to improve future campaigns
  • Support product launches and social media campaigns
  • Help build a consistent and recognizable brand voice across social channels
What We’re Looking For
  • 0–4 years of professional experience
  • Experience or strong interest in social media, content marketing, digital marketing, product marketing, growth marketing, or a related field
  • Excellent writing and communication skills
  • Strong understanding of social media trends and internet culture
  • A natural instinct for what makes content interesting and shareable
  • Creative mindset and willingness to experiment
  • Familiarity with Canva, Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, video editing, or similar tools is a plus
  • Ability to understand a product and communicate its value clearly
  • Comfortable working independently in a fast-paced startup environment
A Great Candidate Might Have
  • Created social content that achieved unusually high engagement or organic reach
  • Experience managing or contributing to social media accounts
  • Created short-form videos, graphics, campaigns, or other digital content
  • A portfolio showcasing social media or creative work
  • Experience testing different hooks, formats, captions, or creative concepts
  • Strong opinions about what makes content go viral
  • A strong curiosity about online trends and emerging platforms
What We Value

Creativity over credentials.

Execution over process.

Curiosity over experience.

We want someone who sees a product and immediately thinks:

"Would someone stop scrolling for this?"

"What would make this shareable?"

"How can we turn this into a trend?"

"What could make this go viral?"

If you’re early in your career, creative, social-media savvy, and excited about building content and communities from the ground up, we’d love to hear from you.
