Social Media Manager

About the Role

We’re hiring a Social Media Manager who will own our nascent online presence and champion the social media strategy for a billion dollar company. You’ll both support our current professionals and bring tens-of-thousands more to the platform as we expand into new fields. 

Practically, this means we’re looking for someone who:

• ​​Is deeply user centric: You default to talking to users to inform what content to make (or not to).
  
  
• Understands content strategy: You understand the differences between campaigns designed for views and those designed for activations and how different strategies should be employed across different platforms (e.g. Instagram vs LinkedIn).
  
  
• Can execute fast and at high quality: You can make content that achieves these strategies and have a track record of performance to prove it. This is a hands-on role where you will be responsible for creating content yourself.
  
  
• Understands influencer partnerships: You’ll own our influencer relationships and have a clear intent for each partnership.
  
  
• Owns user engagement: You’ll be responsible for replying to users, not just to build community and reach, but to inform our own content and business strategies.
  
  
• Can think beyond social: You recognize the value of social media but know when another strategy may be a better tool (e.g. a change to the app).

Beyond the specific skills above, what will make you successful:

• Extreme Ownership: The buck stops with you, no matter what anyone else did or did not do. You're self-reliant and can get things done in the chaos that is an early-stage startup scaling quickly.
  
  
• Extreme Curiosity: You ask “why” 3-5 times in a row for the same problem, leveraging rich user insights to inform strategy. 

This role sits in our Marketing Team within the broader Product org. We’d read the following docs from our team prior to applying: the Product Team Standards, Product Team Recruiting, and Product Team Structure. These documents will give you a sense of how we think and what we value. If it sounds like a team you might want to join, apply and we'll send you the first case.

Please Note: 

• We are currently accepting applications only from candidates based <1hr from a major US city (>500K population). This requirement is rooted in the need to create content and have access to a large pool of professionals.
  
  
• Travel up to 25% of the time is expected for this role. Travel will predominantly be to document and support events hosted by Clipboard (e.g. job fairs).

The compensation for this role is $100K -$125K plus equity and benefits.
