Social Media Manager, Lifecycle

Chicago, ILFull-timehybrid$81K – $101K / yrPosted 2026-05-28

Looking for a social media manager who actually understands platform culture, not just posting schedules. You'll run our presence across the channels that matter, write copy that sounds human, and keep an eye on what's working in near real time. Comfortable jumping on a trending moment when it makes sense and skipping it when it doesn't, because a forced meme is worse than no post at all.

What you'll do

  • Plan and execute the social content calendar across major platforms
  • Write and design posts, working with the brand team on visual assets
  • Monitor engagement and community conversation, responding in real time
  • Track social performance metrics and report on what's driving growth
  • Coordinate influencer or partner collaborations when relevant
  • Stay current on platform trends and adapt content strategy quickly

What we're looking for

  • 2+ years managing brand social accounts professionally
  • Excellent writing skills with a strong sense of brand voice
  • Experience with scheduling and analytics tools like Sprout Social or Buffer
  • Comfortable working across multiple platforms with different norms
  • Quick, resourceful, and calm when something needs a fast response
  • Basic design sensibility for reviewing or tweaking visual assets

Nice to have

  • Video editing skills for short-form content
  • Experience running paid social boosts or campaigns
  • Background building an audience from scratch
