Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own and manage all Smartling social media channels, including LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, X, YouTube, and emerging platforms, as the primary voice of the brand.
  • Build and execute a channel-by-channel content calendar, tailoring format, tone, and cadence to each platform's audience.
  • Grow an employee advocacy program, equipping teammates with shareable content and making it easy for them to amplify company news.
  • Partner with Content, Design, Demand Generation and Product Marketing to adapt long-form assets (blogs, webinars, product launches) into native social content.
  • Track engagement, follower growth, and reach across platforms, and turn analytics into concrete adjustments to strategy.
  • Monitor brand mentions and industry conversation, engaging authentically and flagging opportunities or risks in real time.
  • Leverage AI tools to improve efficiencies and outcomes when it comes to social media and advocacy management.

Requirements

  • 3+ years of experience managing social media channels for a B2B or SaaS company, with direct ownership of LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, X and YouTube.
  • A track record of growing engagement and follower base through organic content strategy, not just paid boosts.
  • Experience building or running an employee advocacy program.
  • Hands-on content creation experience. You can write a strong caption, brief a designer, or storyboard a short-form video yourself.
  • Comfort with social analytics and scheduling tools (e.g., Sprout Social, Hootsuite, Buffer, Hubspot or similar) and native platform analytics.
  • Sharp copywriting instincts and an ear for adapting one brand voice across very different platforms.
  • A bias toward action: you post, measure, and iterate rather than waiting for the perfect plan.
  • Experience leveraging AI tools like Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini, to develop engaging content, improve workflows and uncover trends in analytics.

Preferred

  • Adaptable. You shift tone and format fluidly between a LinkedIn thought-leadership post and an Instagram Reel without losing the throughline of the brand.
  • Self-Directed. You don\u2019t need a content calendar handed to you: you build it, defend it, and adjust it as the news cycle moves.
  • Collaborative. You know the best social content comes from product, sales, and customer stories, so you're constantly pulling threads from across the company.
  • Analytical. You read engagement data as a signal for what to do next, not just a number to report.
  • Creative. You spot the story inside a feature launch or a customer win before anyone else does.

Benefits

  • Freedom - we are remote first
  • Growth - an opportunity to learn and advance your career
  • Wealth - we offer a competitive salary and 401(k) + company match
  • Wellness - health insurance; free medical plan for you and your family
  • Balance - flexible PTO + 11 holidays; generous parental leave
  • Culture - an energetic, value-driven, and fun culture and team spirit
  • Bonus - employee referral program and Apple equipment
