Senior Social Media Strategist / Manager (Hybrid, Contract – Food & Beverage + CPG)

We’re looking for a creative, strategic, and hands-on Senior Social Media Strategist / Manager to join our small but mighty team at Social Medusa Media Inc. If you’re excited about food, lifestyle, and consumer brands — and love the idea of working in a flexible, collaborative environment — this could be the perfect fit.

Social Medusa Media Inc. is a boutique social media agency based in Los Angeles. We specialize in bringing brands to life online through creative content, strategy, and storytelling. Our clients include restaurants, food & beverage concepts, and consumer product brands — including a new baby products account launching this year.

This is a 6-month full-time contract role (40 hrs/week) with the option to extend. The position is hybrid: you can work from home most of the time, but will be required to attend in-person client shoots and occasional client meetings in LA.

You’ll play a key role in shaping and executing client strategies, managing content calendars, creating and editing content, and coordinating with clients, influencers, and talent. Because we’re a small team, you’ll have autonomy, ownership, and the chance to work across a variety of accounts with less of the “big agency” chaos.

• Develop and execute social media strategies for food & beverage, restaurant, and consumer product brands
• Create and manage monthly content calendars
• Write captions and produce content (shooting and editing)
• Research trends and propose creative content ideas
• Coordinate client shoots, liaise with clients, and ensure deliverables are met
• Manage influencer and talent outreach/coordination
• Handle casting and scheduling as needed
• Provide monthly reporting and performance insights
• Support with potential client outreach and other tasks if time permits

• 3–5 years of experience in social media management or strategy (agency or in-house)
• Strong creative skills: video, editing, copywriting, and design
• Excellent communication and organizational skills
• Comfortable working directly with clients and talent
• Experience in food & beverage or consumer products a plus
• Proficiency in Canva; Adobe Suite familiarity a bonus

• Salary: up to $70k annually (prorated for 6 months), based on experience
• Flexible hybrid schedule (remote in-person shoots)
• Food perks (yes, you’ll often get to take home extras after shoots!)
• Collaborative, low-stress, and creative work environment
