Job Summary

Own the day-to-day social content engine for a consumer-facing brand, turning on-site shoots into short-form video and photo content, publishing across platforms, and surfacing trends to spark campaigns.

  • Content Creation & Publishing: Produce and edit short-form video and photography for TikTok, Reels, Stories, and feeds, with platform-specific formats and timing.
  • Community & Feedback: Monitor comments/DMs, respond in-brand voice, and surface guest feedback to guide content and quick escalations.
  • Campaign Ops & Measurement: Coordinate influencer/UGC/paid efforts, manage approvals and timelines, and share learnings to improve upcoming content.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Create Engaging Content: Create and edit short-form video, photography, Reels, TikToks, Stories, and other social-first content, including on-site at restaurant locations.
  • Manage the content calendar and publish across active channels with the right format and timing for each platform.
  • Track trends, platform shifts, and competitive activity — and contribute ideas for campaigns, promotions, and always-on brand moments.
  • Grow Our Community: Monitor and respond to comments, DMs, and brand mentions in a timely, on-brand voice.
  • Identify opportunities to source and amplify user-generated and creator content.
  • Surface guest feedback and emerging conversations — and escalate issues when needed.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Communications, or a related field — or equivalent experience
  • 2–3 years of social media experience for a consumer-facing brand; restaurant, food, retail, or lifestyle experience is a plus.
  • Strong short-form video and photo skills — you can create content, not just coordinate it.
  • You know how the platforms actually work — formats, algorithms, and what makes content perform.
  • A sharp written voice and the ability to write on-brand captions quickly and consistently.
  • Good community instincts: warm, responsive, and able to judge when to escalate.

Preferred

  • Nice to have: paid social exposure, influencer or creator coordination, or restaurant/QSR brand experience.
