Social Media Manager
About the job
- Two years of experience in organic social media management, ideally for a consumer app, marketplace, or Gen Z audience.
- A proven track record of building and growing TikTok and Instagram channels, supported by examples rather than vanity metrics.
- Hands-on production skills, including scripting, smartphone shooting, editing with CapCut, Premiere, or similar tools, and copywriting.
- A strong understanding of platform mechanics and trends, including the ability to assess trends rather than simply copy them.
- Experience in community management, including handling critical situations.
- Ability to read channel analytics, form hypotheses, and derive content from the findings.
- Develop, optimize, and own the organic social media strategy for talent audiences (B2C) and business customers (B2B).
- Define the role, audience, and format logic for each platform, including TikTok, Instagram, and LinkedIn.
- Create the editorial calendar and produce content hands-on with the in-house studio, including concepts, scripts, shooting, editing, copy, and publishing with quick turnaround times.
- Develop innovative, platform-native campaign ideas with the Brand Lead and translate them into repeatable formats.
- Manage community interactions across all channels, establish guidelines and an escalation path for critical issues, and relay recurring questions to Operations, Support, and Product.
- Own influencer marketing end-to-end, including identifying and selecting suitable creators, negotiating and setting compensation, preparing briefs and approvals, and assessing performance against clear goals. Independently manage the influencer budget and prioritize credible voices over reach alone.
- Manage a network of creators and Zenjob workers who share authentic user perspectives, use user-generated content systematically as a content and testing source, and oversee freelancers and agencies.
- Work closely with Analytics to establish measurement of activities, including reach, engagement, follower growth, and contribution to organic sign-ups.
- Conduct trend analyses for social media channels and monitor current social media trends.
- Manage a working student and report to the Brand Lead, who is part of the Marketing team.
About the company
Zenjob is a digital job placement platform in Germany that helps students and part-time workers find and book shifts through a mobile app. Users browse and filter shifts by location or type of work, apply with one click, and receive about half of their gross wage a few days after completing a shift. Partner companies post available shifts, and Zenjob earns revenue by charging them a fee for each successful placement, while job seekers access the service for free. The platform operates in more than 39 German cities and serves both job seekers and businesses needing temporary staff. Compared with traditional job hunting, Zenjob streamlines the process by eliminating lengthy applications and scheduling, offering immediate, on-demand access to flexible work. The company's goal is to simplify earning side income and connect students and other part-time workers with temporary staffing needs through an easy-to-use app.
