Job Title: Social Media Manager – Media & Content Strategy

Location: Remote (Preference for candidates in South America, Latin America, or the Philippines)

Hours: EST timezone overlap required (some flexibility post-training)

Employment Type: Full-time

About Us

We are a fast-growing, center-right digital media company producing content across finance, news, politics, and technology. We’re not selling products—we’re building an audience. Our mission is to inform, engage, and spark meaningful conversation through bold content and sharp storytelling. We’re looking for a Social Media Manager who understands how to translate platform-specific strategies into real audience growth and engagement.

Role Overview

This is not your typical social media role. You’ll work across two primary content areas: financial and news properties, taking media (streaming shows, podcast segments, video clips) and turning it into high-performing platform-native content. You’ll manage everything from pulling quotes and writing captions to creating reels, carousels, threads, and short-form videos tailored to each social platform. If you’ve worked in media—whether for a podcast, thought leader, or media brand—and know how to build momentum around content, we want to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities

Manage and execute daily social media content for our financial and news verticals
Repurpose long-form video content into short, platform-optimized formats (reels, shorts, carousels, quotes)
Write compelling copy, tweets, captions, and social storytelling that reflect our brand voice and tone
Tailor content by platform:
Instagram – Carousels, Reels, Stories
LinkedIn – Article-style posts, video highlights
X (Twitter) – Threads, quote cards, pithy takes
Facebook – Key quotes, engaging questions, discussion-driven posts
TikTok – 12-15 sec shorts or trend-adapted takes
Use tools like Canva, Photoshop/Illustrator, and CapCut (or similar) for basic design and editing
Create templates and repeatable formats to scale content production
Partner with video editors to break down long-form content into social-ready segments
Track engagement, suggest optimizations, and stay updated on platform trends

Ideal Candidate

2+ years managing social media for a media company, podcast, thought brand, or content-driven platform (not just product or service marketing)
Deep understanding of the nuances, audiences, and best practices of each major platform
Strong writing and visual storytelling skills—can distill a big idea into a short quote, post, or thread
Experience with Canva and/or Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop/Illustrator)
Light video editing skills and familiarity with tools like CapCut, Reels editor, or Shorts creation platforms
Self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, content-heavy environment
Interest in or familiarity with finance, news, business, or center-right media is a plus

Why Work With Us?

Be part of a mission-driven media brand at the intersection of news, finance, and tech
Work remotely with flexibility and autonomy
Collaborate with a sharp editorial and video team
Use your creativity to help shape how media is consumed in a fast-moving, digital-first landscape
