• Creative Content Production:
Concept, shoot, edit, and publish high-quality, original content (photo, video, reels, short-form content) on a consistent basis. This includes hands-on content creation in shop environments, outdoor settings, and real-world use cases.

• Visual Brand Elevation:
Continuously improve the overall look and feel of our social platforms by creating a cohesive, polished, and premium visual identity that makes our trailers and manufacturing process stand out.

• Manufacturing Storytelling:
Capture and showcase the craftsmanship, innovation, and behind-the-scenes aspects of our manufacturing process in a way that is both informative and visually compelling.

• Trend Adaptation:
Stay on top of social media trends and adapt them in a way that aligns with our brand and industry , ensuring content feels relevant without losing authenticity.

• Event & Travel Content Capture:
Travel periodically (a few times per year) to trade shows, industry events, and brand activations to capture real-time content and tell the story of our brand in action. Additionally, travel to other company plant locations as needed to capture a high volume of photo and video content that supports multiple brands and ongoing content needs.

• Campaign Management:
Plan and execute paid social media advertising campaigns (Meta Ads, LinkedIn Ads) to drive traffic, dealer inquiries, and direct sales, adhering to set budgets.

• Community Management:
Monitor and respond to comments, messages, and inquiries in a timely, professional manner to foster engagement and provide customer support.

• Brand Representation:
Act as a brand ambassador, ensuring consistent tone, voice, and visual identity across all platforms.

Work closely with marketing and sales teams to support product launches, promotions, and event coverage, ensuring strong alignment across departments.

Skills, Qualifications, and Experience Requirements:

• Proven experience as a Social Media Manager, Content Creator, or similar role, preferably in manufacturing, automotive, or industrial sectors
