About Local & Qualified

Local & Qualified is a rapidly growing, independently owned digital marketing agency serving local businesses nationwide. We take pride in producing professional, strategic work that delivers real value for our clients.

We are looking for a highly organized, detail-oriented, and creative Social Media Manager to oversee the quality and execution of social media content across our client accounts.

Position Overview

The Social Media Manager will manage social media posting accounts for Local & Qualified’s clients and oversee content produced by our social media posting team.

This person will serve as the final quality-control checkpoint before content is published. They will review and approve posts, request or make edits when necessary, and ensure every piece of content is relevant, accurate, professional, visually polished, and aligned with the client’s brand.
