The following principles align with the #intrapreneurship #passion #multiply #scrappy  nature of the Social Media Manager role.

Intrapreneurship: This role requires taking initiative and ownership in crafting content that drives engagement and community growth, much like an entrepreneur within the company. You’ll also need to innovate with fresh ideas and handle the responsibility of managing social platforms.

Passion: Creating engaging content, interacting with the community, and representing the brand requires enthusiasm. You’ll be passionate about e-commerce, Amazon, and Jungle Scout’s mission to connect with the right audience.

Multiply: As a key member of the Demand Generation team, you’ll collaborate across departments and multiply your impact by contributing to thought leadership, creating viral content, and growing the company’s reach on LinkedIn and other platforms.

Scrappy: Handling multiple platforms, video editing, copywriting, and graphic design requires a resourceful, hands-on approach. You’ll need to manage tasks efficiently, work with limited resources, and adapt quickly to new trends.

Note: The one constant in our evolving, dynamic environment is change. Needless to say, you’ll never get bored ;) The responsibilities listed above are our needs today but we are keeping future needs & opportunities in mind when hiring for this position. We value adaptability and a growth mindset in team members. Although it’s not promised, the successful candidate should be prepared for the possibility that their role may evolve over time as our business strategies and priorities change.

What you’ll get:

💥The BEST team. You’ll work alongside the smartest, most passionate, and kindest humans day in and day out making work fun.
