amika is looking for a curious, creative, culturally-fluent Social + Content Strategy Manager to join our growing Social & Community team full-time.

• Partner closely with the Director to build the social strategy behind our campaigns and product launches, from first insight through to channel plan.
• Working with the Director, define what each campaign should do on social, what success looks like, and which platforms carry which part of the story.
• Set the content pillars and campaign beats that shape our always-on calendar.
• Keep our channels feeling like one brand across categories, markets, and moments.

• Concept social-first ideas — formats, series, and one-offs — that sound like amika and show our products actually working.
• Write clear, inspiring briefs for our creative team and creative partners, and stay close through production, review, and approvals.
• Bring new formats, platform behaviors, and cultural moments to the team early, with a POV on what we should do about them.

• Partner with Influencer Marketing on who we work with for each campaign, what we ask of them, and how their content lives across our channels.
• Build creator work into campaigns from the start, so it feels like part of the idea rather than an add-on.
• Help bring our stylist community into our storytelling — they’re one of the most important voices we have.

• Work closely with junior members of the team, supporting their development and helping ensure high-quality execution across channels.
• Provide regular coaching, feedback, and guidance in partnership with the Director, helping the team strengthen their skills in content development, community management, and platform best practices.
• Delegate thoughtfully — giving junior team members real ownership while keeping strategic oversight of the work.
• Help foster a collaborative, curious team culture where people feel encouraged to bring ideas forward.

• Look at how content is performing and turn it into a clear point of view on what we should do next.
• Own the learnings from each campaign and carry them into the next one.
• Share findings in a way that's useful to partners across the business, not just to social.

• Work closely with the Community Coordinator, who owns day-to-day community management, publishing and the always-on calendar.
