Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Channel strategy. Define and continuously evolve Sharing Excess's social strategy across Instagram and TikTok, in partnership with the Marketing Director and leadership.
  • Growth targets. Carry measurable goals for follower growth, reach, and engagement, and own the plan to hit them.
  • The content system. Build and run the content calendar as a repeatable system, not a one-off posting schedule, balancing planned campaigns with real-time trend response.
  • Performance. Track, analyze, and report on content and channel performance, and use those insights to adjust strategy and prove impact to leadership.
  • The creator chain. Source, brief, and direct external creators, freelance editors, and contractors when a moment needs to scale beyond what you produce yourself.
  • What You'll Do
  • - Concept, produce, and publish engaging content across Instagram and TikTok
  • - Capture in-person content at food rescues, community events, and pop-ups
  • - Edit and polish short-form video and photo content, and partner with the content team on larger productions
  • - Run Instagram Stories, including live and behind-the-scenes coverage

Requirements

  • 2+ years of experience. At least two years of professional experience in marketing and social media for brands — in-house, agency, or creator-side.
  • Proven growth. A track record of growing a brand's social following and engagement — you can point to specific accounts you've grown, the before-and-after numbers, and what you did to drive it.
  • Strategic ownership. Experience building and running an integrated social strategy, not just producing content to someone else's brief.
  • Collaborative operator. You develop strategy with leadership and cross-functional teams and thrive working inside an organization, not as an outside vendor doing drops.
  • Full-stack content skills. Strong short-form video editing and content production skills, and the ability to capture compelling content in dynamic, real-world environments.
  • Trend fluency. A deep understanding of social trends, formats, and audience behavior, and the judgment to adapt them to a mission-driven brand.
  • Startup comfort. You're at home in a fast-paced, lean, startup-style environment where you work up and down the creator chain.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills.

Preferred

  • Experience directing or managing freelance creators, editors, or contractors
  • A strong personal or professional social media presence of your own
  • Experience covering live events or producing in-the-field content
  • A strong sense of storytelling and visual creativity
  • Fluency with analytics tools and performance reporting

Benefits

  • Medical, dental, and vision coverage, including a plan option where Sharing Excess covers 100% of the employee-only premium
  • Health savings account (HSA) option and 401(k) plan, subject to plan terms
  • Self-managed (unlimited) paid time off for salaried employees, available after 90 days
  • Paid company holidays in accordance with the office holiday schedule
  • Flexible, hybrid work environment
  • Opportunity to travel and capture impactful work in the field
  • Direct exposure to leadership and high-profile partnerships
  • Hands-on experience building a fast-growing brand and mission-driven organization
  • Benefits eligibility begins after 90 days of employment and is subject to the terms of each plan and the Employee Handbook.

Today, we distribute nearly 2 million pounds of food each week, 100 million pounds annually, through a national network of food banks and community partners—making food recovery smarter, faster, and more impactful than ever before. With the energy of a startup and the soul of a grassroots movement, we’re redesigning the food system for long-term sustainability and efficiency.
