Salary, Create Amazing Content. Grow Sales and Brand Love. Help Make Healthy Food Accessible And Simple For All.

Simply Salad is hiring its first dedicated Marketing Manager — a foundational role reporting directly to the CMO. We're looking for someone with a strong background in social media (content creation, content calendars, and influencer relationships) who is ready to expand into full-funnel marketing: campaign and calendar planning, brand DNA and tone of voice, product innovation and insights, PR, digital media, in-store and local store marketing, out-of-home, and every other channel Simply Salad uses to reach guests.

This is a hands-on role. You'll be expected to be able to create content yourself — not just direct it — while also helping build the infrastructure to help us be the best s role will also require building the muscle to think like a brand marketer: connecting what you post to what it drives, and using data to decide what to do next.

Above all, we're looking for someone who is genuinely curious, eager to learn, and comfortable asking questions — paired with the analytical instinct to understand ROI and translate it into action.

• Own Simply Salad's social media presence end-to-end: content calendar, creation, posting, community management, and performance reporting.
• Initially shoot, edit, and produce content (photo, video, short-form) that captures Simply Salad's voice — comfortable being in front of and behind the camera.

• Contribute to out-of-home and other traditional media as Simply Salad's channel mix expands.

• Develop and roll out in-restaurant marketing materials (menus, signage, promotional collateral) that keep every location on-brand.
• Partner with restaurant General Managers on local store marketing — grassroots activations, community partnerships, and new-location launch support.

• Track performance across channels and translate results into clear, actionable recommendations for Simply Salad.
• Bring an ROI-first mindset to every recommendation — what did it cost, what did it drive, and what should we do next.

• 3+ years of experience in social media marketing, including content creation, content calendar management, and / or influencer marketing.
• A demonstrated ability to create content personally (shooting and editing photo/video), not just direct others to do it.
• Working knowledge of social and content analytics, with the ability to connect performance data to business outcomes.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with an eye for brand voice and consistency.
• A curious,…
