We are seeking a freelance Associate Social Media Manager to support a new celebrity-led show across social platforms. This role will primarily focus on content organization, publishing, audience growth, and day-to-day social channel management.
The ideal candidate understands internet culture, social trends, platform behavior, and what drives engagement. You’re the type who instinctively knows what clip should become a meme, what trend is about to peak, and how to package content in a way people actually want to watch and share. You'll work closely with our creative team to package and publish content effectively, identify growth opportunities, and help build an engaged audience around the show. The role is less about being a full-time editor and more about being the engine behind the social presence: organizing content, publishing strategically, spotting trends early, and helping turn moments into audience growth.
