Social Media Manager for Two Local Brands (Long-Term, TikTok + Instagram + Facebook)

Overview We're a digital marketing agency looking for a dedicated, long-term social media manager to run the day-to-day social presence for two of our clients. Both are well-known local brands in the food and hospitality space. Both run on TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook. This is strictly social media management. You are not shooting original content and you are not building strategy from scratch. Raw footage, B-roll, and past content will be supplied to you. Your job is to curate the best of it, edit it into scroll-stopping posts and Reels, publish on a consistent cadence, and, most importantly, build and nurture the community around each brand. We want someone we can grow with. Do well here and this becomes a stable, ongoing engagement with room to take on more. What matters most to us Community building is the heart of this role. We're looking for someone who treats these accounts like living communities, not content calendars. That means: Actively engaging the community: replying to every comment and DM in the brand's voice, quickly and personally Reposting and resharing: pulling tagged content, customer posts, and UGC into stories and feed, and giving people a reason to keep tagging you Proactive outreach: reaching out to individuals, local accounts, regulars, and relevant creators to build real relationships and grow reach organically Making followers feel seen. The goal is a community that shows up, engages, and walks through the door. Editing and content curation Curate from a supplied library of B-roll and past footage. You have a strong eye for which clips will perform. Edit video into clean, engaging Reels and TikToks: trims, cuts, captions, text overlays, trending audio, pacing that holds attention Light static image editing: touch-ups, text, sizing, on-brand graphics. Nothing heavy. Turn raw, unpolished source material into content that looks intentional and on-brand What you'll manage Two client accounts, each across TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook Consistent weekly posting across feed, Reels, and stories for both brands Full community management and engagement for both A steady, reliable cadence without needing to be chased What we're looking for Proven experience managing social for restaurants, bars, food, or local hospitality brands (please show examples) Genuine community-building instincts. You know how to make an audience feel like insiders. Solid video editing skills (CapCut, CapCut Pro, or similar) and basic image editing (Canva or similar) Strong grasp of what performs on TikTok and Reels right now, including trends and audio Native or fluent English for engaging with a local U.S. audience in a natural, authentic voice Responsive, organized, and dependable. You own the accounts. Nice to have Familiarity with the U.S. food and nightlife scene Experience juggling multiple brand voices at once To apply Please include: Two or three examples of food, bar, or hospitality accounts you've managed, with links One or two sentences on how you've grown a community or engagement for a brand, with a specific example Start your reply with the word "SKILLET" so we know you read this in full We read every application that follows those three steps. Looking forward to finding the right long-term partner.
