Social Media Manager

Human is a performance marketing agency based in Southern California, hiring a part-time Social Media Manager to own organic social across 5–6 client accounts.

Our portfolio is consumer-focused — think beauty, apparel, health & wellness, pet, food, outdoor, and baby care. Each brand has its own voice, audience, and goals, so this role is for someone who can switch gears across very different brands without losing the plot on any of them.

This is an organic social role — no paid media buying. You’ll work alongside a separate paid media team, but your scope is content, community, publishing, and reporting.

What you’ll do

• Own content calendars across 5–6 brand accounts, with platforms typically including Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, and X depending on the brand
• Create native social content, including short-form video, UGC-style content, in-feed posts, Stories, and Reels
• Shoot and edit content using a phone, CapCut, Canva, or similar tools when the work does not require a full production cycle
• Source, organize, and direct creators or talent when needed for UGC-style or creator-led content
• Write captions and on-platform copy that match each brand’s voice
• Brief our internal creative team on higher-production assets, including branded graphics, motion design, photoshoots, or more polished campaign content
• Review creative before publishing to make sure it fits the platform, brand, and intended use
• Schedule and publish content using our social management stack
• Manage community engagement, including responding to comments and DMs, escalating sensitive issues, and flagging UGC worth amplifying
• Stay on top of trends and bring a clear point of view on what is worth using — and what is not
• Report monthly on what worked, what did not, and what should change going forward
• Join client calls as needed, typically 1–2 touchpoints per account per month

• 3+ years managing social media for brands, ideally agency-side or across multiple brands simultaneously
• Fluent across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, and X — you understand what works and what does not on each platform
• Hands-on with content creation — you can shoot, edit, source assets, and produce native social content without needing a full production team for every post
• Comfortable sourcing and directing creators, customers, employees, or other talent when the content calls for people on camera
• A strong writer who can shift voice between brands and write copy that does not feel generic or overly “brand-y”
• Highly organized — managing 5–6 accounts requires real systems, follow-through, and discipline
• Analytical enough to read native platform analytics, identify what is working, and translate performance for a non-marketer client
• Trend-literate without being so chronically online that you lose taste or judgment
• Self-directed — you do not need daily check-ins, but you communicate proactively when something needs input, approval, or escalation

Bonus points

• Experience with consumer brands in beauty, outdoor, health & wellness, apparel, food, pet, or baby categories
• Familiarity with Sprout Social, Later, Hootsuite, or similar scheduling tools
• Experience working in ClickUp or a similar project management system
• A thoughtful point of view on how AI can support social workflows without making the work feel generic
