Overview:

We're looking for a Social Media Manager who lives at the intersection of culture, platform trends, and emerging technology. You'll own our always-on social presence, spot what's next before it's mainstream, and use AI tools to move faster and smarter than the competition.

Responsibilities:

Own day-to-day strategy and execution across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and emerging platforms
Identify and act on cultural/social trends in real time; build a rapid-response content process
Use AI tools (generative content, trend forecasting, analytics/insight tools) to scale ideation and production
Partner with creative, brand, and influencer teams to translate campaigns into native social formats
Identify new platform partnership opportunities beyond core social channels — Reddit, Substack, LinkedIn, and other emerging community/media platforms — to expand brand presence where culture is forming
Develop and manage content calendars, community management, and platform-specific KPIs
Track emerging platforms and features (new apps, algorithm shifts, format changes) and advise leadership on where to invest
Report on performance with a point of view — not just metrics, but what they mean for strategy

Qualifications:

5-6+ years in social media, with a portfolio of trend-driven, culturally fluent work
Deep fluency in current platform mechanics (TikTok, Reels, YouTube Shorts) and where social is heading
Hands-on experience with AI tools for content creation, ideation, or social listening
Strong editorial instincts — can spot a trend early and know when/how to participate authentically
Excellent collaborator across creative, brand, and PR teams
Comfortable working fast, testing often, and adapting in real time
Experience in fashion, beauty, or lifestyle brands preferred
Basic content creation/editing skills (CapCut, Premiere, etc.) ideal
Community-building or creator-partnership experience a plus
