Content and Social Media Manager

About Active Junky

Active Junky is a leading cash back and affiliate shopping platform that helps consumers earn rewards while shopping thousands of top brands across outdoor, fitness, apparel, home, beauty, technology, travel, and more.

We're building more than a shopping website—we're building a media company around shopping, sports, outdoor recreation, travel, deals, and the brands people love. We're looking for a creative, self-motivated marketer who wants to help shape that vision.

Our headquarters are located slopeside at the base of the world-famous Steamboat Ski Resort in beautiful Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Built by people who love the outdoors, our office reflects the lifestyle we promote every day. Whether you're into skiing, mountain biking, trail running, hiking, camping, fishing, or simply enjoying mountain life, you'll be working for a company that lives its brand. This role can be remote for the right candidate, but we'd love to find someone excited to be part of our Steamboat team.

This is a unique opportunity to own our content strategy, grow our social presence, experiment with AI, build community, and create new revenue opportunities through sponsored content.
