Senior Social Media Manager (013-497)

​​Looking for Philippines-based candidates

Job Role: Senior Social Media Manager

Compensation range: $2000 AUD - $2500 AUD / Monthly

Engagement type: Independent Contractor Agreement

Work Schedule: This role is expected to align with the AU business hours (approx. 9 AM - 5 PM, Monday to Friday) for collaboration, but as a contractor, you’ll have flexibility in how you manage your time.

Who We Are: At Hunt St, we help Australian companies hire top remote talent in the Philippines. For this role, you will be engaged directly by the client as an independent contractor. We are not an outsourcing agency. All of our roles are 100% remote so you'll be able to work from home.

Who The Client Is: A well-loved local hangout that blends great food, live music, and a fun, laid-back atmosphere. With roots in classic car culture and a big focus on bringing people together, it’s a place where families, friends, and visitors come to relax, eat well, and enjoy good vibes. Known for its energetic setting and welcoming team, this venue is all about creating memorable experiences and having a good time while doing it.

The client is building a dominant hospitality lifestyle brand in Australia, spanning food, events, automotive culture, and community.

The ideal candidate is fast, strategic, creative, self-driven, and obsessed with high-performance social media.

Role Overview: This role is all about telling stories that people actually care about. You’ll take raw footage and turn it into scroll-stopping, high-retention content that connects emotionally and keeps audiences coming back for more. You don’t just think in single posts — you understand how to build repeatable content systems that grow over time and support real business goals.

You’re quick on your feet, comfortable experimenting, and always looking for ways to improve. Trends change fast, and so do you. Above all, you care about quality, move with purpose, and push the standard higher with every piece of content you create.

We are looking for a content leader who wants to build something big, visible, and respected.

You will own social media for:

– high-energy lifestyle venue (cars, bikes, food, events, culture)

– premium bakery & coffee brand (craft, ritual, aesthetics)

Two brands. Two voices. One dominant online presence.

Strategy & Growth

• Weekly competitor and trend analysis
• Identifying what’s working globally and adapting it locally
• Proposing new content formats, angles, and campaigns
• Thinking beyond likes — into brand equity, awareness, and loyalty

Speed & Execution

• Fast turnaround times (same-day or next-day when required)
• Ability to handle high content volume without quality drop
• Scheduling content across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok
• Working to strict timelines around events and promotions

Community & Brand Management

• Professional, on-brand responses to comments and DMs
• Protecting the reputation of the business at all times
• Engaging the community authentically

Reporting & Accountability

• Weekly performance reporting
• Clear insights on what worked / didn’t work

• Disclose any existing ongoing roles or client work
• Reflect this engagement on their LinkedIn profile (clearly marked as “Independent Contractor”)
