Responsibilities

• Own Zymo’s organic social presence across key platforms, with a focus on LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube. Manage the content calendar, draft posts and captions, engage with comments, mentions, messages, and tags, and help Zymo show up as a credible and human presence in the scientific community.
• Work with Marketing, Product Marketing, Commercial, Scientific Communications, and Creative teams to identify stories worth sharing. Turn product launches, scientific resources, collaborations, grants, webinars, events, user stories, and community opportunities into social-first content that builds trust without feeling overly commercial.
• Maintain Zymo’s social voice: scientifically credible, warm, direct, useful, and never generic. Bring strong visual judgment to the role by understanding how copy, imagery, layout, pacing, and platform format work together to create content that is clear, engaging, and on-brand.
• You do not need to be the primary designer, but you should understand design principles well enough to brief creative partners, evaluate content quality, and recognize when something needs to be stronger.
• Track organic social performance with a focus on engagement quality, audience growth, content resonance, and community signals. Share clear insights on what is working, what audiences are responding to, and where there are opportunities to improve.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in social media, community management, brand communications, or content strategy.
• Strong writing ability with the ability to create clear, engaging, and credible social content.
• Experience managing organic social accounts, especially LinkedIn and Instagram.
• Strong editorial and visual judgment, including an understanding of what feels valuable, on-brand, engaging, or too promotional.
• Ability to translate product, commercial, technical, and scientific inputs into content that builds trust, connection, and interest.
• Strong understanding of how copy, imagery, layout, pacing, and platform format work together in social content.
• Community-first mindset with the ability to build engagement through conversations, not just broadcasting.
• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills with the ability to work with marketing, product, commercial, creative, scientific, and brand stakeholders.
• Basic understanding of social performance metrics and how to turn results into useful insights.

Preferred

• Experience in life science, biotech, healthcare, scientific publishing, B2B, or another technical field.
• Experience building social engagement for a technical or expert audience.
• Familiarity with YouTube, short-form video, reels, carousels, thumbnails, and platform-specific storytelling.
• Experience supporting social amplification of webinars, events, grants, campaigns, product launches, collaborations, or user stories.
• Basic photography, video editing, or social content production skills are a plus.
