Social Media Manager San Diego, CA

Social Media Manager job at House of Malarkey. San Diego, CA.

We’re looking for a creative, organized, and flexible Social Media Manager to join our team and help bring personality, strategy, and consistency to two engaging brands:

A growing podcast that explores life and relationships through the lens of a Gen X and a Millennial in love—navigating everything from intimacy and parenting to cultural shifts and chaos.

A well-known chef’s personal brand that blends culinary expertise with an engaging, real-life presence.

This role is fully remote
, part-time to start (with potential to grow), and ideal for someone who thrives in a creative environment and can pivot quickly when needed.

• Listen to weekly episodes and give direction to our editor on which moments to pull for social clips.
• Collaborate on tone, voice, and content strategy—help us highlight what really resonates.
• Post weekly clips across platforms (Instagram, Tik Tok, You Tube Shorts, etc.).

• Help create a posting strategy to build engagement and tell a cohesive brand story.
• Assist with editing short-form video content like Reels and Tik Toks.
• Manage weekly posting and content planning.
• Keep a pulse on trends and offer creative, outside-the-box content ideas.

• Have experience managing social media for podcasts, creators, or personal brands.
• Are fluent in short‑form video trends and know what performs across different platforms.
• Communicate clearly, take initiative, and enjoy collaboration.
• Have a strong sense of humor and love adding personality to your work.
• Think strategically about how content builds brand and community—not just how it looks on the grid.
• Are flexible and comfortable with occasional short-notice needs.

• Have experience working with chefs, lifestyle brands, or entertainment personalities.
• Know your way around tools like Canva, Cap Cut, or basic video editing software.
• Can write captions that feel human, engaging, and on-brand.

This is a contract role with flexible hours, ideal for someone who wants to grow with us and be part of a team that values creativity, clarity, and connection.
