Description:

What sets a Sircle Media Social Media Manager apart from the rest? You’re obsessed with what’s better for you, especially when it comes to the foods you eat. You’re constantly on the lookout for the newest CPG brands, and the first thing you do when you find one is check out their IG and TikTok feed(s).

If that sounds like you - we’d love to meet you. We’re looking for someone who is all over the latest social media trends with experience and/or interest in the CPG industry to join our squad in a remote capacity. We want thinkers and doers, who want to put in work and reap the benefits from their efforts.

Your day-to-day will include running point on content, engagement, and growth strategies and tactics for up to three food, beverage, and/or spirits clients. Candidates need to excel at project and team management, as we will support you with a full creative team (video, photography, and graphic design), paid social analyst guidance, an influencer management department, and a group of directors to help ensure that you stick the landing for the brands you work with.

Some perks of being a squad member include team events and an environment where feedback is encouraged to help both us as a company and you as an employee reach your full potential. If you are looking to just punch the clock and not grow as a professional, this is not the right role for you.
