Job Summary

Own the end-to-end social content program from concept to post, run influencer partnerships, and iterate based on performance across platforms.

  • Own content creation pipeline from ideation to published video
  • Manage creator program and partnerships to maximize impact
  • Drive data-driven optimization across social channels

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Make the content. Concept, script, shoot, edit, and post a steady stream of original content on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and LinkedIn, built for what each platform actually rewards.
  • Run our creator program. Find, brief, and manage outside influencers and creators producing sponsored content about HiringCafe. Track what each one delivers and put more behind the ones that work.
  • Take big swings. Develop and execute viral video concepts, UGC campaigns, contests, and ideas nobody has tried yet to get HiringCafe in front of new people.
  • Show up in r/hiringcafe. Engage with our most enthusiastic users in our 110K+ member Reddit community, and turn their stories, feedback, and wins into content.
  • Measure and iterate. Watch what performs, tell us what you learned in plain numbers, double down on winners, and kill what isn't working.
  • Partner with our engineers to build new tools and functionality in the product that support and amplify our social media efforts.

Requirements

  • 1 to 4 years making content or running social for a startup, a creator, a brand, or your own audience. Proof beats pedigree: show us accounts you grew or posts that gained broad engagement.
  • You make things yourself. You can take an idea from a blank page to a published video on your own: hook, script, filming, editing, caption.
  • You live on these platforms. You know what's native to TikTok versus Instagram versus YouTube, and you know why brands get roasted on Reddit and how not to be one of them.
  • You run without a manager. You turn a broad goal into ideas, experiments, and results without waiting for instructions, and you ask for help when you need it.
  • You move fast. You'd rather publish ten ideas to find the one that takes off than spend two weeks debating a single post.
  • You care whether it worked. You make decisions from views, shares, and signups, not vibes.
  • You're ambitious. You want to prove you can build an audience from the ground up, and you want your name on it.

Preferred

  • You've managed paid creator or influencer partnerships and know how to navigate this notoriously hit-or-miss channel
  • You have your own account with real traction, or you've gone viral more than once
  • You've worked at an early-stage startup
  • You're comfortable on camera, and good at getting other people on camera
  • You've been through a rough job search yourself and have opinions about it
