The Role
We are looking for a strategic, ideas-first Social Media Manager to join our growing team.
This mid-level role is tailor-made for someone who lives and breathes sports and entertainment culture.
You will lead social strategy, planning, and execution for a powerhouse roster of brands spanning the sports, entertainment, and consumer sectors.
While you should be comfortable getting your hands dirty with content creation when needed, your core focus will be on high-level ideation, rigorous planning, and data-driven insights.
You will live and breathe "cultural hijacking"—spotting trending moments in real-time and turning them into branded social moments that drive fame.
- Your Responsibilities
- Own the strategy: Oversee social content calendars, cross-platform distribution strategies, and the long-term planning process.
- Monitor the cultural pulse: Track trends across Tik Tok, Instagram, and X to identify reactive opportunities, particularly in the sporting world.
- Analyze performance: Dive deep into social analytics to uncover data-driven insights on what truly resonates with audiences.
- Manage multiple streams: Demonstrate a proven track record of overseeing multiple workstreams and clients simultaneously.
- Collaborate creatively: Bounce ideas around in a creative team setting, bringing a keen eye for visual craft.
- Create on the fly: Comfortably script, film, and edit lo-fi, social-first content when a reactive moment demands it.
- Nice-to-Haves
- Experience working in an agency setting across major entertainment, sports, or consumer brands.
- Strong experience in scriptwriting specifically for social-first content.
