Social media Jobs in Jersey City, NJ

Job Description

Job Description

Our mission is to increase the success rate of small businesses. Traditional banking has been a growth limiter rather than a growth enabler for business owners, and we’re changing that. Relay is the all-in-one, collaborative money management platform. We’re building for employer SMBs and their finance function, internal and external, and are focused on delivering a human-centric customer experience. Ultimately, we help SMBs be ‘on the money'.

We’re seeking a highly creative and strategic Social Media Manager to own and execute Relay’s organic social media strategy. You’ll be responsible for growing brand awareness, expanding our audience of U.S. small business owners, and producing compelling content that drives engagement, qualified leads (MQLs) and approvals. You’ll be joining a high-performing, collaborative team of marketers and creatives who are passionate about helping small businesses thrive. If you're excited to build a brand with purpose, create content that delivers results, and make a real impact at a fast-growing startup – we’d love to hear from you.

Note : Please include a cover letter and portfolio with your application. We’d love to see your creativity in action!

Applicants must reside within the New York City metropolitan area or the surrounding tri-state region (New York, New Jersey, or Connecticut).

Create original and repurposed short-form video content for social platforms to showcase Relay’s content and grow our audience and engagement
