WANTED: SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER

• Opes Partners NZ Ltd


• Salary: $80,000 – $85,000 gross per annum (experience dependant)


• Office: Auckland CBD


• Hours: Full time (37.5 hours)


• Start: June 2026 FIXED TERM (12 MONTHS)
  
  

At Opes, we help everyday Kiwis build wealth through property - and we need someone exceptional to help us tell that story online.

We're looking for a savvy Social Media Manager to own and grow our organic social presence across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and TikTok. This is a creative, data-driven role where you'll shape content strategy, stay ahead of trends, and keep our audience engaged, informed, and coming back for more.

If you live and breathe social media, love creating content that actually connects, and want to work in a team that's genuinely making a difference for Kiwis - this could be your role. 

NOTE: While this position is initially offered as a fixed-term contract for 12 months to cover our existing Social Media Manager's parental leave, there may be potential for this role to become a permanent position in the future.

What's in it for you

• Competitive salary + 3.5% KiwiSaver + free medical insurance + phone/laptop + EAP


• 
  A lively, supportive team - we celebrate wins, birthdays and milestones!
  


• Real creative ownership - your ideas will be heard, shaped, and published


• A front-row seat to one of NZ's most exciting property brands 
  
  

What you'll be doing

You'll take full ownership of our organic social media presence - from big-picture strategy to the day-to-day content that keeps our audience engaged and trusting us.

We’ve already grown our social media to 32,000 followers on Instagram, 40,000 subscribers on YouTube, and 20,000 followers on TikTok. Your job is to help us growth even further.

Key responsibilities include:

• Building and managing a content calendar 2–4 weeks ahead across all channels


• Developing and scripting fresh content ideas and taking them through for sign-off


• Filming, editing and producing engaging video content (yes, you'll be behind the camera)


• Repurposing content across channels - from podcasts to posts, we want it all working together


• Staying on top of platform trends, algorithm changes, and what's cutting through


• Producing regular reports and using the data to shape what we do next


• Working with our Head of Marketing on strategic direction - content pillars, platform mix, and what's next


• Pitching in on EDM’s, website updates, and other marketing activity as the role evolves


• Operating within compliance requirements relevant to financial services content

What we're looking for

This role suits someone who is organised, trend-aware, and confident bringing ideas to the table - and equally confident rolling with feedback.

You'll have:

• 3–5 years in a social media role (agency or in-house both welcome)


• Hands-on experience creating content for Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and TikTok


• Strong videography (iPhone is fine), editing and content creation skills


• A data-driven mindset - you know your metrics and use them to make decisions


• Strong tech skills and comfort across social platforms and scheduling tools


• A marketing degree or equivalent experience (desirable)


• Solid understanding of compliance considerations in content creation

Just as important is how you show up:

• You're personable, engaging, and a genuine team player - working well with a range of personalities


• You're forward-thinking, adaptable, and not easily thrown off


• You share ideas confidently and take feedback in your stride


• You're tenacious and resilient - you go after what you want and you get it done
