  • Strong track record with paid and organic campaigns aligned to product launches.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Narrative Ownership: Develop and execute social media strategies that speak directly to specific audience segments, from first-time buyers to competitive shooters and tactical professionals and sporting enthusiasts.
  • Technical Content Creation: Translate complex firearm specifications and accessory applications into digestible, high-engagement content without losing technical accuracy.
  • Campaign Management: Lead the end-to-end execution of branded social media campaigns, ensuring consistent ROI and community growth across all platforms.

You should be comfortable discussing "use-case" scenarios and technical applications with confidence. You must be able to effectively market specific products to nuanced target audiences with a compelling and impactful message.
  • Industry Fluency: You understand the nuances of the firearms community. You know the "unwritten rules" of the culture and how to craft narratives that build trust rather than just "moving product."
  • Proven Social Media Track Record: Minimum 3+ years of experience managing official company/branded social media accounts.
  • You know how to read analytics, pivot strategies, and scale a brand’s digital footprint.
  • Strategic Thinking: Experience running paid (where applicable) and organic campaigns that align with broader business objectives and product launches.

  • Active participation in the shooting sports or tactical training community.

We no longer shop as we used to, and the retail firearms market needed a change. We believe people should be able to use their computers, phones, and tablets to shop for firearms the same way they purchase everything else. As experts in technology and fellow firearm enthusiasts, we believe we’re the right people for the job.
