Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own the day-to-day posting cadence across Bluesky, X, Threads, and LinkedIn
  • Develop content and maintain the content calendar
  • Post directly to brand accounts within established voice and brand guardrails
  • Surface trends, conversations, and cultural moments worth weighing in on, and act on them quickly when timing matters
  • Engage with the community where appropriate
  • Partner with Communications and App team on launches, campaigns, and embargoed announcements
  • Track what's working and report back

Requirements

  • Deep experience managing social for a major brand or comparable accounts (agency, in-house, or independent)
  • Native fluency on Bluesky, X, Threads, LinkedIn and a real point of view on how each platform actually works
  • A poster's instincts: quick wit, sharp timing, comfort writing in a brand voice without making it sound like one
  • Ability to spot a trend early and decide whether it's worth engaging with — or worth letting pass
  • Strong judgment under time pressure: knows what to post, what to flag, and what to skip
  • Comfortable working with minimal oversight
  • Awareness of the news cycle and consciousness of timing around posting. (e.g., we don't want something too flippant after a serious event)
  • Genuine curiosity about Bluesky and the open social web — this isn't the right role for someone who treats it as just another platform
  • A keen eye for determining when a post could be a story and the ability to amplify it in the right way for the right audience
  • A background in communications, marketing or community management is a plus

Preferred
