Social Media Manager & Brand Storyteller (Washington DC-Baltimore Area)

Social Media Manager & Brand Storyteller

Rockville, Maryland · Full-time · In person

You are a creative, strategic, self-starting video storyteller who loves to capture, edit, and share the moments that matter, and you're looking for a fun, creative company with great stories to tell.

ABOUT THE ROLE

VIVA Creative is hiring a social media manager who is, above all, a strong video storyteller. You'd own channels and their content, showing off the work we make for clients, the in-office culture behind it, and the people who make it happen. You'd also produce brand assets we use well beyond social.

WHAT YOU'D DO

Own social channels: strategy, calendar, publishing, community, and reporting. Concept, shoot, and edit multiple reels a week at a high standard. This is the heart of the job. Turn finished events and productions into compelling short-form stories. Document our fun in-office culture. Capture behind-the-scenes content in our studios. Produce internal and external brand video: sizzles, case studies, short films, whatever the moment calls for. Stay on top of platform trends and know which ones are worth our time.

WHAT YOU BRING

Strong video craft: you shoot well, light well, and edit with polish and pace. You're as comfortable with a camera in your hands as in an edit timeline. You work at both ends of the spectrum, fast phone content one day and scripted brand film the next. You think strategically about audience and story, not just output. Experience running social for a brand, agency, or established channel, with work you can show. Recent grads with this experience are encouraged to apply.

WHO YOU ARE

Creative and self-starting: you see a moment worth capturing, dream up clever, catchy, inventive ways to film and share it, and make it happen at agency speed. Organized enough to keep a content calendar and stick to it. Solid business acumen, and a love of analytics to understand what moves the needle. Fast-moving and unfazed by a live event's pace. And eager to learn everything you can about the many experiential art forms we create.

WHY WE'RE IN PERSON

This role is fully in person in our Rockville studios, not remote or hybrid. We're a tech-forward agency that uses AI every day in transformational and innovative ways, but ours is a human business. Ideas come from people in a room together: a creative thought said out loud, a sketch on the back of a page, a question that turns into the answer. We like raw brainstorming, critical thinking, discourse, prototyping, and iteration of ideas. That's why every piece of our work carries a human signature.

COMPENSATION

Salary commensurate with experience, plus benefits.
