Senior Social Media Manager

Role Description

We are looking for a creative, strategic, and highly organized Senior Social Media Manager to own and drive our social media presence from end to end. This is not a scheduler-only role; we need someone who can think in campaigns, write compelling copy, edit video, design graphics, speak authentically in our organizational voice, and back every decision with data. If you thrive at the intersection of storytelling, strategy, and production, this role is for you.

You're the sole social media operator for a mission-driven organization, building a content engine, running all platforms, and being the brand's daily voice online.

What you'll actually do, day to day:

• Create and publish channel-specific content daily (minimum of 5 posts/day on Instagram and at least 1 post/day on LinkedIn, X, TikTok, and Facebook), plus active engagement on every platform you post to.
• Edit content from raw footage & finished footage, design graphics in Figma, and write copy for every format.
• Build and manage the content calendar end-to-end, ideation through publishing.
• Engage with members and affiliates in real time as the primary social voice.
• Track performance metrics and report to leadership with data-driven recommendations.
• Develop platform strategies and campaign social plans tied to US audience behavior.

You're a fit if: You can shoot-edit-write-post without waiting to be told what to do, you're able to do basic video editing and graphic design, you understand the US social landscape, and you use AI tools as a natural part of your workflow.

Location: Remote. You need to be available 10 am - 3 pm EST. Occasional Traveling (US Visa).

Qualifications

• 3–6+ years of hands-on social media management experience with a focus on the US market.

• Proficiency in video editing software (Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or equivalent) with hands-on experience working from raw footage formats (e.g., .R3D, .BRAW, .ProRes, .MOV), including color correction, audio, and motion graphics.
• Proficiency in graphic design tools (Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, or equivalent) with working knowledge of Figma for collaborative design and template workflows — Canva alone is not sufficient for this role.
• Proficiency with AI content and productivity tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Jasper, Canva AI, or similar) and a working understanding of how to use them responsibly without losing brand authenticity.
• Proficiency with social media management platforms (Sprout Social, Hootsuite, Later, or similar).
• Experience building and executing social strategies tied to marketing or membership campaigns.
• Solid understanding of platform algorithms, best practices, and content formats for Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, X/Twitter, and TikTok within a US audience context.
