Job Overview

Our client is looking for a Social Media Manager who will serve as the real-time engine on the Content Development team, responsible for publishing social content quickly and keeping the firm active in live conversations across X, Instagram, and LinkedIn. The role exists to compress the time between idea and published post, moving at the pace of each platform rather than the pace of long-form production. It owns the daily posting cadence, community engagement, and platform-native craft, turning the team's thinking into timely, native content while conversations are still current. It works alongside the Head of Content Development on voice and editorial direction, and partners with the Content Production Strategist and Content Author on adapting long-form thought leadership into fast social assets. The role is measured on speed to publish, consistency of presence, and the engagement and audience growth that follow.

• Schedule and distribute approved content across the firm's owned and social channels, hitting the editorial calendar's cadence
• Grow the companies' following and engagement on each platform through consistent presence, sharp copy, and active community management
• Track platform performance daily and weekly, reporting reach, engagement, and growth, and feeding insight back into what to post next
