Who We’re Looking For

Based in Dallas and reporting to the Brand Director, as Social Media Manager you are the eyes, ears, and voice of our brand online. You own our social media presence from start to finish—from initial ideation and planning to on-site capture, post-production, and publishing.

In this role, you will also step into a leadership capacity, directly managing a Content Producer. Together, you will oversee the creation of long-form video assets and specialized advertisement content that lives on various digital media platforms and channels. Additionally, you will guide and direct this role to act as a dedicated producer for our more "elevated" social pieces, ensuring high-end post-production editing, polished formatting, and premium visual execution for major brand moments.

We are not looking for a simple content scheduler. We want a storyteller, a trend spotter, and a community builder who knows exactly what makes people stop scrolling. Guided by Batbox’s core values—Be a Good Human, Amp the Experience, Lead Together, and Level Up—you will help us build a bold, consistent, and unforgettable social presence.

Your commitment to our core values of “Be a Good Human,” “Amp the Experience,” “Lead Together,” and “Level Up” and your dedication to our pillars of “Craft Legendary Experiences,” “Powered by People,” “Build for the Future,” and “Beyond the Game” will shape how Batbox shows up in culture.

Copywriting: Write compelling captions tailored to different audience segments while fiercely maintaining the authentic Batbox voice, using our true brand voice, not an AI voice.

Cross-Platform Distribution: Maintain a steady stream of engaging Stories and strategically repurpose/cross-post content on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube Shorts, and LinkedIn.
