As our
Social Media Manager , you’ll own the heartbeat of Dropout’s voice across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts, and more. You’ll be the driver of content creation, community engagement, and trend-forward storytelling that turns scrolls into shares and fans into advocates. You’ll collaborate closely with creative, influencer, and brand marketing to bring campaigns to life and keep Dropout brands top of feed.
Execution sits at the heart of our team.
While strategy is essential, this role demands a true operator — someone who thrives on making things, shipping content, engaging with communities, and iterating fast. You’re not just a thinker; you’re a doer who can move quickly from concept to execution, ensuring our brands are loud, relevant, and impactful every single day.

Collaborate with internal creatives and external freelancers to scale output without sacrificing quality
Balance multiple projects and priorities with strong organization and relentless follow-through
