We're seeking a Social Media Manager with 5+ years of experience within artist management companies, overseeing artist brands and digital strategy in the musicindustry; ideally within Pop, Top 40, and/or Electronic genres. This role is for someone who understands the full social media and music landscape, from pre-TikTok platforms to today's video-first culture, and who can move fluidly between strategic oversight and hands-on, platform-native content creation.

• Copywriting and storytelling skills, with a tone that feels authentic, conversational, and music-savvy.
• Highly organized and detail-oriented, able to manage multiple social calendars, campaigns, and timelines at once, balancing strategic planning with high-volume, hands-on content creation and execution.

Content Creation & Execution
• Lead ideation, organization, and execution of creative content concepts across all Artist social platforms (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X, etc.), developing platform-native content that taps into trends, subcultures, and "chronically online" moments in ways that feel authentic to the brand.
• Own day-to-day channel management: posting cadence, copywriting, community engagement, and reactive content opportunities, ensuring the Artist's voice stays consistent, authentic, and on-brand.
• Develop culture-savvy campaigns around releases, collaborations, touring, and broader industry moments, while also prioritizing lifestyle, personality-driven, and culturally relevant content that builds affinity and keeps channels active between major marketing moments.
• Maintain a detailed, well-organized content calendar for the Artist and wider team.
