Responsibilities

• Own True Anomaly's social strategy and presence across platforms — LinkedIn, X, Instagram, YouTube, and emerging channels — each approached on its own terms rather than cross-posted
• Build and run the social content calendar: the publishing rhythm, sequencing, and cadence that turns an ambitious content agenda into a consistent presence
• Write and ship in True Anomaly's voice — clear, precise, confident without performing confidence — adapting the narrative to what each platform rewards without diluting it
• Run day-to-day publishing, community management, and engagement, including timely response in live moments — launches, demos, industry news, and press
• Grow True Anomaly's audience across platforms and, more importantly, deepen engagement with the audiences that matter: talent, defense and space press, policymakers, the defense-tech community, and investors.
• Build the owned communities around True Anomaly's mission and content, and find repeatable ways to convert reach into genuine relevance in the domain
• Manage organic-first amplification, including boosting high-performing content to extend reach — lightweight paid support of organic work, not a standalone paid-media program
• Brief and partner with the VP of Brand and Creative, who owns the creative and content for social. You define what a moment needs and write the copy; the creative itself — the visual craft and produced content — comes from the Brand and Creative team. You own the platform strategy and voice, not the creative output
• Partner with Communications to keep social synchronized with the earned-media, executive, and policy narrative — amplifying press moments and thought leadership without freelancing the message
• Work with product, business development, and leadership to translate what's actually happening in the business into content people want to follow

Requirements

• 8+ years running social and community for a brand, with demonstrable results; audience growth, engagement, and a clear connection to business or mission impact, backed by metrics rather than anecdotes
• A strong writer first. This role lives or dies on voice, and True Anomaly's external standard is high. You write clearly, directly, and without hedging
• Real platform fluency; you understand what each channel rewards, you can read what's working, and you adapt fast without chasing every trend
• Comfortable being the whole function today and building it tomorrow. You want to own the strategy and do the work, and you find a blank slate energizing rather than daunting
• Comfortable working directly with C-suite on their social presence - you can earn an executive's trust, advise on voice and timing, and ghostwrite convincingly while helping them build a real audience
• Sound judgment and high discretion. Social sits in public, close to sensitive topics in defense and national security. you know what to post, what to hold, and when to escalate
• Genuine interest in defense, national security, or space is a meaningful signal. Category expertise is not required; intellectual seriousness about the mission is
• Fluency with AI and modern content tooling as part of how you work, not an afterthought
• Work Location —Successful candidates will be located near Long Beach, CA. While we observe a hybrid work environment, some work must be done on site.

• Equity + Benefits including Health, Dental, Vision, HRA/HSA options, PTO and paid holidays, 401K, Parental Leave
