As a Social Media Manager, you will play a critical role in building and managing the organic social and content engine for a growing direct-to-consumer health and wellness brand. You'll take ownership of content pillars, editorial direction, content calendars, copywriting, community engagement, and the production process across multiple social channels.

This role is ideal for someone who combines strategic thinking with strong hands-on execution. You'll be expected to bring your own point of view, make thoughtful editorial decisions, and develop distinct voices across multiple accounts while remaining aligned with the broader brand direction.

You'll also be working within a sensitive health category, where credibility, empathy, cultural awareness, and clinical accuracy are essential. This means knowing how to communicate complex topics in a clear and consumer-friendly way, while understanding when content requires additional review or when a conversation should be escalated.
