Part‑Time Social Media Manager for House/Disco DJ (San Francisco Bay Area)

I’m a house/disco DJ who’s been playing successful house parties and private events and now want to level up into regular bar/lounge gigs and small events in the Bay Area. I’m looking for a part‑time social media manager who can help turn my live sets into consistent, on‑brand content, grow my presence on Instagram and TikTok, and actively contribute to getting me booked. This role is not just about content—it’s also about visibility and opportunity. If you have connections in the local nightlife scene or know how to strategically get artists in front of promoters, venues, and event organizers, that is a major plus. Ideally, you’re based in the San Francisco Bay Area so we can occasionally meet in person, capture content at gigs/pop‑ups, and collaborate. ---Responsibilities--- - Turn raw video from gigs/house parties/practice sessions into short‑form vertical content (Reels/TikTok/Shorts). - Plan, write, and schedule 1–2 posts per week across Instagram (feed + Reels + Stories) and TikTok. - Develop and maintain a simple content calendar (themes like: gig recap, transitions, track IDs, “vibe” clips, behind‑the‑scenes). - Optimize posts with strong hooks, captions, and relevant music/DJ hashtags, with a focus on SF/Bay Area nightlife discovery. - Engage with comments/DMs in a brand‑appropriate tone and flag potential booking inquiries. - Proactively identify and reach out to promoters, venues, collectives, and event organizers to help generate gig opportunities. - Leverage any existing industry relationships or build new ones to increase booking opportunities (bars, lounges, pop‑ups, underground events, etc.). - Research local events, venues, and promoters and suggest targeted outreach strategies. - Track basic analytics (follower growth, reach, saves, profile visits) and adjust strategy monthly. - Occasionally attend local gigs/pop‑ups to capture higher‑quality content (photo + video) if schedule allows. ---Ideal candidate---- - Based in San Francisco Bay Area; able to occasionally attend events in SF/Oakland. - 2+ years experience managing social media for musicians, DJs, nightlife, or entertainment brands. - Strong understanding of the Bay Area nightlife ecosystem (venues, promoters, collectives, etc.). - Existing connections in the local music/nightlife scene OR proven ability to build those connections. - Portfolio showing short‑form video content for artists or events (please include links to IG/TikTok accounts you’ve managed). - Fluent with at least one scheduling/analytics tool (Later, Buffer, Meta Business Suite, etc.). - Strong copywriting skills and understanding of electronic music culture (house/disco a plus). - Comfortable working with shared folders (Dropbox/Google Drive) of raw clips and turning them into a steady content pipeline. - Self‑directed and proactive—you can propose ideas, outreach strategies, and experiments, not just “post what you’re given.” ---Time & compensation--- - 2-5 hours/week to start, with potential to grow as gigs and content volume increase. - Compensation: Hourly or monthly retainer depending on experience and scope; higher rates considered for candidates who bring strong industry connections or proven booking impact. - Initial commitment: 1‑month paid trial. If it’s a good fit, we’ll extend to a longer‑term arrangement. ---To get things started and not waste time, please provide the following when applying--- - A short intro about you and your experience with DJs/musicians/nightlife. - Links to 2–3 social media accounts you currently manage or have managed (IG/TikTok preferred). - A quick breakdown of what you’d do in the first 30 days to grow a Bay Area house/disco DJ’s presence. - Any relevant connections (venues, promoters, collectives) or examples of how you’ve helped artists get booked. - Your location in the Bay Area and your availability (evenings/weekends). - Your rate (hourly or monthly package).
