Social Media & Community Manager - Electronic Music / Nightlife

We are looking for an experienced Social Media & Community Manager for Space Society, a new electronic music event taking place at The Other Side Amsterdam on September 18, 2026. We need someone who can start immediately and take responsibility for our social media strategy and day-to-day Instagram management until the event. We recently launched a new Instagram account and are starting with a very small audience. The challenge is to quickly build credibility, a relevant Amsterdam-based community and strong engagement — with a clear business objective: converting that attention into ticket sales. This is not a vanity-metrics project. Followers and reach matter, but our ultimate objective is to build an engaged audience that converts. The social media strategy should therefore be designed around the full journey: awareness → credibility → engagement → interest/FOMO → ticket conversion. We produce our own photo and video material, so we are NOT looking for a photographer or videographer. We need someone who can develop the strategy, tell us what content we should produce, and then manage and use that content effectively. Responsibilities: - Develop and execute a conversion-oriented social media strategy - Manage our Instagram account day-to-day - Create a content calendar and brief us on the content we need to produce - Manage posts, Reels and Stories - Build an active and relevant Amsterdam-based community - Drive meaningful engagement and organic growth - Engage with relevant Amsterdam nightlife audiences and accounts - Identify and coordinate collaborations - Outreach to relevant micro-influencers, creators and nightlife communities - Build credibility, social proof and FOMO around the event - Create clear calls-to-action and opportunities to drive traffic towards ticket purchase - Analyse performance and continuously adjust the strategy based on what is generating engagement, traffic and conversions - Coordinate with our Meta Ads specialist so organic and paid activity work together Main objectives: 1. Build a credible and relevant social presence from a very small starting audience 2. Generate real engagement within our target audience in Amsterdam 3. Grow awareness and demand for Space Society 4. Convert that demand into ticket sales Our musical direction is melodic tech-house / melodic house & techno / underground house, primarily targeting Amsterdam-based clubbers and expats. Experience with electronic music, nightlife, clubs, festivals, DJs or music events is strongly preferred. Knowledge of the Amsterdam nightlife scene is a major advantage. We are looking for approximately 10 hours per week, starting immediately and continuing until September 18. In addition to the hourly rate, we are open to offering a performance-based bonus linked to ticket sales and agreed campaign targets. We want our incentives aligned: stronger commercial results = higher compensation. When applying, please include: - 2–3 relevant music/nightlife accounts, events or projects you have personally worked on - What you were responsible for - Any measurable results you achieved, particularly engagement, traffic or ticket/event conversions - Your availability to start immediately - A short explanation of how you would approach turning a new event account with a very small audience into an engaged community and ultimately ticket buyers
