Social Media Manager (Podcast & Video Content)

Job Summary

We are looking for a strategic and reliable Social Media Manager to take full ownership of the social presence for an established business podcast. This role combines forward-looking daily content operations — turning long-form episodes into short-form clips and publishing across every major platform — with a backward-looking project to re-optimize a large library of existing videos. The ideal candidate is a self-starter who treats analytics as a compass, writes content that sounds genuinely human, and actively drives channel growth rather than waiting for instructions.

Key Responsibilities

• Process long-form podcast episodes into short-form clips and build multi-day clip rollouts across all platforms
• Publish content daily across YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, and Spotify, keeping a consistent posting cadence with no gaps
• Write and refine captions, descriptions, and metadata so every post sounds human and on-brand — treating AI output as a draft, never a finished deliverable
• Perform full YouTube SEO on every upload: keyword research, titles, descriptions, tags, chapters, closed captions, end screens, and playlists
• Manually tag relevant businesses and accounts where scheduling tools fall short
• Coordinate thumbnails by submitting briefs ahead of publish deadlines and ensuring approved thumbnails are in place before videos go public
• Respond to comments and DMs across all platforms within 24 hours to build genuine community engagement
• Audit and re-optimize an existing back catalog of roughly 500 published videos — re-editing, refreshing thumbnails, and updating metadata to improve visibility and SEO
• Monitor analytics across platforms, identify what is working, and bring data-backed recommendations to grow the channel
• Track algorithm and platform trend changes and proactively flag strategic opportunities
• Deliver daily progress updates via Loom, including publishing proof, key metrics, and the next day’s plan

Mandatory Skills

• Proven experience managing social media for a YouTube channel, podcast, or long-form video brand
• Hands-on proficiency with clip-generation and multi-platform scheduling tools (Opus Clips, Repurpose.io, Publer, or equivalents)
• Strong YouTube SEO skills, including titles, tags, metadata, chapters, and captions
• Advanced working knowledge of YouTube Studio
• Skilled at writing platform-specific, human-sounding captions while maintaining consistent brand voice
• Solid ability to interpret analytics, watch time, and retention data
• Community management experience (comments and DMs), not just scheduling posts
• Comfortable with daily Loom-style reporting and proactive communication
• Reliable, detail-oriented, and able to work independently
• Strong communication skills

Preferred Skills

• Track record of growing a channel or audience organically
• Familiarity with TubeBuddy or VidIQ
• Background in business, entrepreneurial, or local-interest content
• Experience with video editing tools such as CapCut or similar
• Experience building evergreen content systems
• Ability to take true ownership of a channel and contribute strategy beyond execution

Why Join Us

This is a true ownership role for someone who wants to drive a channel forward, not just clear a task list. You’ll have the creative autonomy to shape strategy, the freedom to bring your own ideas, and the satisfaction of watching your work directly grow an audience. If you thrive on consistency, data, and genuine community building, this is a role where your impact will be clearly visible.
