SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER (CONTRACT) – NASHVILLE, TN
THE COMPANY
If you’re a Nashvillian, you likely recognize the name Bart Durham. Our roots run deep in Music City, and our marketing presence reflects that. We are not a traditional law firm when it comes to branding and outreach. Our marketing initiatives are bold, strategic, and community-driven.
We are now looking for someone who can take full ownership of our social media presence and elevate it even further. This person must be a proactive, independent, go-getter who can identify opportunities, execute quickly, and drive measurable growth without needing step-by-step direction.
THE ROLE
We are hiring a Social Media Manager to own strategy, execution, publishing, engagement, and performance across:
- TikTok (2 accounts)

- 10–25 hours per week depending on the week and what you make of the position
