Job Description

Overview


Social Media Manager Opportunity

  • Up to $85k + bonus
  • Established NZ brand in serious growth
  • Design, execute, engage, deliver incredible content


About

This is a well-known, fast-growing New Zealand brand that’s built its name by doing things a little differently — bold, personality-led, and never afraid to have a laugh at its own expense. It’s a business that backs its people, moves quickly, and genuinely believes the best ideas can come from anywhere in the building.


Role

Social media and video have become central to how this brand connects with its audience — and right now, nobody owns that space full-time. That’s where you come in.


This newly created role puts you in the driver’s seat of the organic social presence across TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube. You’ll be the one behind the camera and in the edit suite, turning everyday moments into content people actually stop for. Reporting to the Marketing Manager, you’ll have real autonomy to shape what gets made and how — backed by a team that wants to see you succeed.


Day to day, you’ll be:

  • Running the day-to-day organic social channels — TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube
  • Filming, editing and publishing both short-form and long-form video, tailored to what works on each platform
  • Building out the content calendar alongside the Marketing Manager
  • Capturing behind-the-scenes moments, team stories and event coverage that show the human side of the brand
  • Getting stuck into the online community — replying to comments, DMs and everything in between
  • Putting together visual assets for social and digital campaigns


What You’ll Bring:

  • Strong experience in social media, content creation or digital marketing
  • Confident, hands-on video shooting and editing skills built for social platforms
  • Genuine fluency in Adobe Creative Suite
  • A real feel for what makes TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube tick
  • The confidence to be on camera

Benefits

  • Up to $85k + bonus
  • A well-established and respected brand profile already in place
  • The backing and support of a great Marketing team around you
  • Genuine autonomy in how you deliver in your role

How to Apply:

If you’re ready to bring your Social Media expertise to a business that will so appreciate having you on board, we’d love to hear from you.
