The work
We're a performance marketing agency based in Southern California, hiring a social media manager to own organic social across 5–6 client accounts.
Our portfolio is consumer-focused — think beauty, apparel, health & wellness, pet, food, outdoor, and baby care. Each brand has its own voice, audience, and goals, so this role is for someone who can switch gears across very different brands without losing the plot on any of them.
This is organic only — no paid social. You'll work alongside a separate paid media team, but your scope is content, community, and reporting.
What you'll do
Own content calendars across 5–6 brand accounts (primary platforms: Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, and X — mix varies by brand)
Create content yourself — short-form video, UGC-style content, in-feed posts, Stories, and Reels. You're comfortable shooting on a phone, editing in CapCut or similar, and producing native content that doesn't need a full production cycle
Write captions and on-platform copy that match each brand's voice
Brief our internal creative team on higher-production assets — branded graphics, motion design, photoshoots — and review work before publish
Schedule and publish content using our social management stack
Manage community engagement: respond to comments and DMs, escalate sensitive issues, flag UGC worth amplifying
Stay on top of trends and bring a clear point of view on what's worth jumping on (and what isn't)
Report monthly on what worked, what didn't, and what we're changing
Join client calls as needed — typically 1–2 touchpoints per account per month
Who you are
3+ years managing social media for brands, ideally agency-side or across multiple brands simultaneously
Native fluency across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, and X — you understand what works (and what doesn't) on each
Hands-on content creator — you can shoot, edit, and produce native and UGC-style content yourself. Comfort on-camera is a plus but not required; sourcing and directing talent works too
Strong writer — you can shift voice between brands and write copy that doesn't feel like it came from a brand
Organized operator — managing 5–6 accounts requires real systems and discipline; you've done it before
Analytical — you can read native analytics, identify what's working, and translate it for a non-marketer client
Trend-literate without being chronically online to the point of losing taste
Self-directed — you don't need daily check-ins, but you communicate proactively when something needs input or escalation
Bonus points
Experience with consumer brands in beauty, outdoor, health & wellness, apparel, food, or pet categories
Familiarity with Sprout Social, Later, Hootsuite, or similar scheduling tools
Experience working in ClickUp or a similar project management system
