We are seeking a strategic and creative Social Media Manager to build a distinctive, engaging, and credible social media presence for a technically sophisticated brand. In this role, you will own the social media strategy, editorial calendar, content production workflows, publishing operations, and performance analysis across key channels. You will collaborate closely with creative, engineering, and developer-focused teams to transform complex technical concepts into compelling, accessible, and platform-native content. From product launches and industry events to developer education and community conversations, you will help connect valuable ideas with the audiences who matter most. You will also leverage AI tools and automation to streamline workflows, increase content output, and improve operational efficiency without compromising accuracy or brand voice. This is an opportunity to combine editorial leadership, technical curiosity, data-driven experimentation, and hands-on execution to strengthen brand awareness and community engagement.

• Own the day-to-day social media presence across primary brand channels, defining channel strategies, audience priorities, publishing cadences, and growth objectives.
• Develop and maintain a forward-looking editorial calendar that integrates product launches, technical content, creative campaigns, industry events, community stories, and relevant industry discussions.
• Manage the end-to-end social media production process, including content intake, briefing, contributor coordination, creative asset management, deadlines, reviews, approvals, and publication.
• Write, edit, and publish engaging, platform-specific content that reflects the brand voice while adapting messaging, technical depth, formats, and calls to action to each audience.

• Establish scalable content repurposing systems for webinars, livestreams, demonstrations, blog posts, documentation, podcasts, events, and community contributions while maintaining originality and relevance.
• Implement AI-powered tools and automation to improve research, drafting, content repurposing, quality assurance, scheduling, social listening, and reporting. Document workflows and evaluate their impact on productivity and quality.
• Define and maintain a practical social media measurement framework covering reach, engagement, audience growth, referral traffic, video performance, share of voice, and other relevant business outcomes.
• Conduct regular performance reviews, communicate insights to cross-functional partners, and use findings to refine editorial priorities, creative formats, channel strategies, and production processes.
• Maintain strong publishing governance, including account permissions, approval processes, accessibility standards, link tracking, platform compliance, and response protocols.
• Evaluate emerging platforms and content formats through structured experiments, using measurable outcomes to guide future investment and resource allocation.

• Demonstrated experience managing social media for a developer-focused, infrastructure, open-source, enterprise software, or similarly technical brand.
• A portfolio showcasing social media posts, campaigns, and programs you have personally developed or managed, with the ability to explain your strategy, contributions, results, and lessons learned.
• Exceptional writing, editing, and editorial judgment, with the ability to make complex technical concepts clear, concise, engaging, and accurate without losing their substance.
• Strong technical fluency gained through software engineering, Developer Relations, technical marketing, developer content creation, or comparable hands-on experience. You should be comfortable reading technical documentation, understanding code and software architecture, interviewing engineers, and identifying claims that require expert validation.
• Familiarity with software infrastructure, distributed systems, developer tools, cloud platforms, APIs, or related technical fields, along with the ability to quickly learn new products and developer ecosystems.
• Experience managing multi-channel editorial calendars and coordinating the workflows, contributors, creative assets, deadlines, reviews, and approvals required for consistent publishing.

• In-depth knowledge of social media platforms and audience behaviors, particularly on X, LinkedIn, YouTube, Reddit, and relevant developer communities.
• Experience interpreting performance data, developing hypotheses, conducting experiments, and applying insights to improve content effectiveness and channel growth.
• Practical experience integrating AI tools into professional content workflows, with sound judgment about when automation adds value and when human expertise, editorial oversight, and technical validation are essential.
• A proactive, independent mindset with the ability to identify promising stories, develop content concepts, coordinate the right contributors, and deliver work from initial idea through publication.
• Strong attention to detail and a commitment to content quality, accessibility, brand consistency, and responsible social media account management.
