Position Overview

The Social Media Manager will own how the brand shows up organically across social channels. Hi-Altitude has built a successful DTC business through disciplined performance marketing, and the next phase of growth is focused on building a loyal, engaged audience that knows, trusts, and connects with the brand.

They'll develop the social channel strategy, run the content calendar, publish platform-native content centered on short-form video, grow and engage the community, and turn what performs well into a steady rhythm of better content. This is a role for someone who can set the channel vision and still get hands-on, from planning a calendar to capturing real-time footage.

Responsibilities

Organic Social Strategy and Calendar

  • Define and evolve channel strategies and content pillars to support broader marketing priorities.
  • Build and manage the content calendar spanning always-on content, campaigns, launches, and real-time moments
  • Ensure consistent brand voice and compliance with brand and health claims guidelines.
  • Incorporate clinical credibility (e.g., Medical Advisory Board, formulations) into content naturally and authentically.


Platform-Native Content and Real-Time Coverage

  • Create and publish platform-native content optimized for short-form video, hooks, and trends.
  • Partner with Creative and content creators on production, while shooting and editing lightweight short-form video when speed matters.
  • Cover brand events and activations in real time with stories, short-form video, live posting, and recap content
  • Quickly identify and leverage relevant trends, sounds, and formats to create native-feeling content.


Community Growth and Engagement

  • Grow the brand's owned audience across platforms through consistent, high-quality content and engagement
  • Handle front-line engagement and establish guidelines for how the brand shows up in comments, DMs, and conversations
  • Monitor sentiment and act as an early warning system for anything that could affect brand reputation
  • Identify and nurture UGC and brand advocates, incorporating the best content into the mix.


Performance and Trends

  • Track organic social performance, including follower growth, reach, engagement, saves, and shares, and report clearly to the VP of Brand
  • Analyze performance and platform insights to inform content decisions and strategy.
  • Stay ahead of platform trends, emerging formats, and cultural moments that align with the brand
  • Partner with Analytics to uncover insights and share social learnings across the team.


Cross-Functional Partnership

  • Report to the VP of Brand and partner with Creative, Influencer, and content creators to develop on-brand, platform-native content.
  • Collaborate with Paid Media, Influencer, and Ecommerce on integrated campaigns and product launches


Requirements
  • 3-5+ years of social media management for a consumer brand, ideally in wellness, lifestyle, beauty, or CPG
  • Platform-native fluency across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, with a strong grasp of short-form video
  • Experience owning both strategy and hands-on execution; this is not a purely strategic seat
  • Hands-on shooting and editing skills, comfortable capturing and editing short-form video on a phone
  • A track record of growing an owned social audience and driving real engagement, not just follower counts
  • Comfort using data to guide creative and strategic decisions
  • Experience covering events and activations in real time
  • Strong communication and organizational skills for coordinating across multiple teams
  • Remote-first mindset with the ability to work effectively across a distributed team; located within driving distance of Los Angeles, CA, preferred


Nice to Have
