What are the responsibilities and job description for the Social Media Account Manager position at PERK Social Media?
PERK Social Media is hiring an experienced Social Media Account Manager to lead strategy, communication, and execution for 4–5 client accounts.
This is not an entry-level content role. We are looking for someone who can confidently manage client relationships, organize social media strategy, and keep projects moving without constant oversight.
Many of our clients operate in industries that are not traditionally flashy on social media, such as medical, nonprofit, and energy-related organizations.
We are looking for someone who enjoys bringing creativity and strategy to these types of brands.
A Note on This Role
This role requires someone who is comfortable owning client relationships and managing multiple social media accounts independently.
You should be confident leading conversations with clients, organizing strategy and content planning, and keeping projects moving without constant reminders. If you are still learning the basics of social media management or need significant day-to-day direction, this role will likely not be the right fit.
We are looking for someone who enjoys taking responsibility for their accounts and being a trusted partner to both clients and teammates.

• Is highly organized and proactive
• Enjoys collaborating with a team while owning your responsibilities

• Medical organizations

What You’ll Do
• Manage 4–5 client social media accounts
• Lead client communication including planning calls and feedback conversations
