Social Media Manager

About the Role

Seattle Advertising is hiring a Social Media Manager to own strategy, content, and client relationships for a roster of brand accounts.

We are a boutique social media and creative marketing agency. Our clients range from consumer apps and streaming platforms to wellness brands, coaches, events, and personal brands.

This is a role for someone who likes being close to the work, and cares. You will set the strategy for leads and sales, write the scripts, talk to the client, and read the numbers.

You Will

• Own social strategy for your client accounts: content pillars, monthly calendars, and platform priorities across Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and Facebook
• Write scripts, captions, and hooks for short-form video, adapting trends to each client's niche and voice
• Brief and direct your Content Producer on shoots, edits, and deliverables, and review work before it goes to the client
• Be the main point of contact for your clients: run check-ins, communicate via Slack, manage approvals
• Schedule and publish content, and manage community engagement in comments and DMs
• Report on performance each month, with a clear read on what worked, what did not, and what changes next
• Coordinate with a paid media team so organic and paid content on Meta, Google, and TikTok support each other
• Keep projects on track in our project management system and follow agency SOPs for content, files, and client communication
• Spot opportunities to grow an account, and flag risks early
• Film on-site with clients if they are local

Must have

• 2+ years managing social media for brands, at an agency or in-house, with multiple accounts at once
• A portfolio of short-form video and social content you planned, wrote, or produced, with results you can speak to
• Strong writing: you can write a hook, a script, and a client email, and each sounds right for its audience
• Comfort leading client calls and handling feedback, including the difficult kind
• Working fluency in platform analytics, and the habit of using numbers to make decisions
• Reliable follow-through: deadlines met, messages answered, nothing dropped between handoffs

Nice to have

• Experience with Metricool, Teamwork, Canva, and Slack
• Hands-on shooting or editing skills (CapCut, Premiere, or similar)
• Exposure to paid social on Meta or TikTok
• Experience directing or giving feedback to a content producer, editor, or freelancer
• Background in any of our client categories: apps, entertainment, wellness, coaching, or events

To Apply, Please Include

1. Your resume
2. Two or three accounts or campaigns you managed, with links and a line on what you were responsible for
3. A short note (a few sentences is fine) on a brand whose social you admire and what you would do differently

We review applications on a rolling basis.
