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.
