Job Title Brand Content & Social Media Manager

Location Remote

Time Zone US Time Zone (PST - EST)

Role Overview We are looking for a Brand Content & Social Media Manager to own full content engine. This is not a scheduler or a posting role — we need someone who thinks strategically and executes independently: from concept and creation through to influencer coordination and performance iteration.

Key Responsibilities

Content Creation

  • Produce scroll-stopping short-form video and image content.
  • Champion a real, human, non-AI content aesthetic that reflects brand's warmth and authenticity
  • Communicate product value through storytelling — not sales-speak

Calendar & Scheduling

  • Own and manage a full social content calendar end-to-end
  • Write on-brand captions, select thumbnails, and handle all scheduling and publishing
  • Maintain brand consistency and posting cadence with minimal oversight

Influencer & UGC Coordination

  • Proactively source and build relationships with influencers, and UGC contributors
  • Build and manage a content flywheel so the brand always has a pipeline of fresh, authentic material
  • Repurpose and organize creator content across Instagram and other channels

Growth & Optimization

  • Lead Instagram growth through strategic content, engagement, and community building
  • Track performance and iterate based on what resonates with the target audience

Required Qualifications

  • Excellent written and spoken English — native or top-tier fluency required
  • Strong portfolio demonstrating end-to-end social media ownership for consumer brands
  • Proven ability to produce visually polished, on-brand content well beyond basic design tools
  • Experience managing influencer or UGC programs independently
  • Comfortable operating as a one-person content engine: strategy, creation, scheduling, and reporting
  • Must have prior remote work experience with US or UK-based companies and be fluent in remote collaboration tools (Asana, ClickUp, WhatsApp, Google Workspace, or similar). Applications without this experience will not be considered.

Tools & Technology

  • Instagram (primary channel)
  • Video/content creation tools (beyond Canva — demonstrate what you use)
  • Project management tools: Asana, ClickUp, or similar
  • WhatsApp, Google Workspace, and standard async collaboration platforms

Please NOTE It is crucial that you complete the application form in full. As part of the application process, you will be required to record a video. If your application is successful, you will receive an email confirming next steps — the video is the first step of the interview process. If you do not record a video, we will not be able to consider you for ANY open roles.

We connect top talent with vetted employers, competitive pay, and real growth opportunities.
