Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own and manage social accounts across Instagram, TikTok, and relevant platforms for Underdogs clients
  • Build and execute content calendars aligned to brand strategy and campaign goals
  • Write copy — captions, hooks, CTAs — that sounds like the brand, not a template
  • Manage community engagement: comments, DMs, replies — on-brand and on time
  • Track performance metrics and turn data into real optimizations, not just reports
  • Stay sharp on algorithm shifts, cultural moments, and platform behavior changes
  • Collaborate directly with the Underdogs team on briefs, strategy, and client deliverables
  • Produce authentic, scroll-stopping content across food, brand, and lifestyle verticals
  • Concept, shoot, and edit short-form video and photo — primarily Reels and TikTok
  • Capture on-location content across Cleveland: restaurants, activations, brand environments

Requirements

  • Proven experience managing social accounts beyond your own page
  • A portfolio or handle that shows real results
  • Fluency in CapCut, Reels, Adobe, TikTok native editing, and basic photo tools
  • Strong copy instincts — concise, on-brand, punchy
  • Trend intuition, not just trend awareness
  • Dependability — you show up and follow through
  • Cleveland-based

Preferred

  • Agency or multi-client social experience
  • Comfort with analytics and adjusting strategy from data
  • On-camera confidence — not afraid to be in the content
