Social Media Manager

Babylist is seeking a Social Media Manager. You’ll lead the strategy and end-to-end execution of several of our social media channels, building a strong presence that is the best representation of our brand while delivering measurable engagement and growth. 

As our Social Media Manager you’ll get to…

• Constantly show off your creativity. Every day brings a fresh challenge to inspire users in new ways, with no two weeks the same.
• Launch new, great ideas quickly (we’re not bogged down in layers of management).
• Be on the front lines of making a positive impact on expecting parents’ lives.
• Work from anywhere! 

The ideal candidate is curious, driven, results-oriented, and has experience with end-to-end social media management, as well as identifying and working with influencers and creators.

What You’ll Do

• You’ll define and implement a clear, strategic vision for Babylist’s social media (with emphasis on Instagram and Facebook) to educate, inform, and entertain our target audiences. 
• You’ll propel social media follower growth, engagement, website traffic, and overall brand awareness. 
• You’ll be hands-on, executing the strategy by owning the content calendar: curating, writing captions, coordinating production with the design team, and otherwise managing, scheduling, and publishing all content. 
• You’ll identify the right influencers and UGC that equally serves our users and business goals.
• You’ll coordinate cross-functionally including with our partnerships, customer service, production/design, merchandising, and more.
• You’ll identify areas of opportunity and brainstorm campaigns and giveaways to up-level our social media.
• You’ll listen to our community to constantly innovate and evolve our content.
• You’ll monitor, measure, and report on performance analytics, and adjust strategy to optimize results.

• You’re a passionate storyteller who can captivate and engage an audience.
• You’ve successfully led social media content for a consumer brand.

• You are constantly seeking ways to engage new audiences and are always up-to-date on what’s happening in social media.
• You value quality but you’re not paralyzed by perfection. You can launch new, creative ideas quickly and iterate constantly using data.
• You have a “go viral” mentality and know-how to maximize content for sharing and engagement.
• You navigate confidently through changing priorities and directions and can operate successfully with minimal direction.  
• You have a “no task too small” attitude and can roll up your sleeves to get the job done when needed.  

What You’ve Done
