Position Overview

As Unboxed Group continues to grow, we’re looking for a strategic, creatively driven Social Media Manager to own our brand’s digital presence. This role goes beyond execution - you’ll set the vision for how Unboxed shows up online, develop channel strategy, and ensure every piece of content reflects the premium, high-energy identity of our brand. The ideal candidate is an experienced social media professional who has built and scaled brand accounts, understands the nuances of luxury and entertainment marketing, and can move fluidly between big-picture strategy and on-the-ground content capture at a live event. You bring both a sharp creative eye and the analytical rigor to back up your decisions with data.

• Lead the content strategy across all platforms, defining the visual and editorial direction for Unboxed’s social presence.
• Attend high-profile events (locally and occasionally nationally) to capture premium Behind the Scenes (BTS) content and direct on-site storytelling.
• Film, edit, and produce short-form video content (Reels, TikToks, Stories) that reflects our production process and elevates our brand identity.
• Develop and maintain brand guidelines for social content, ensuring consistency across all digital touchpoints.

Social Media Management

• Own and evolve the social media strategy across Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, and emerging platforms.
• Manage the content calendar, ensuring a consistent, high-quality posting cadence aligned with business priorities and campaign timelines.
• Monitor community engagement, respond to comments and DMs, and proactively identify opportunities to grow audience and brand affinity.
• Stay ahead of platform algorithm changes, emerging trends, and new features—recommending pivots when necessary.

Marketing Strategy & Reporting

• Develop and present social media strategies and campaign proposals to internal stakeholders and leadership.
• Own analytics reporting - track KPIs, synthesize insights, and translate data into actionable recommendations.
• Lead pitch deck and marketing materials development using the Google Workspace suite.
• Leverage AI tools to enhance content ideation, copywriting, and trend analysis at scale.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner with the production and creative teams to align social content with upcoming projects and client deliverables.
• Serve as the internal subject matter expert on social media best practices, platform trends, and brand voice.
• Evaluate and manage relationships with external content creators or freelancers as needed.

Who You Are:
