The Social Media Manager owns the day-to-day execution of Everyday Dose’s social presence. You’ll be responsible for planning, publishing, and managing content across social channels (primarily Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook) and collaborating with internal teams to make sure social reflects what Everyday Dose actually stands for, not just what’s trending.

- Track social metrics (engagement, saves, comments, growth)
- Identify patterns in what content performs well or falls flat
- Report insights to refine content strategy and posting approach
- Social feeds feel cohesive, calm, and distinctly Everyday Dose
- Engagement is thoughtful and genuine, not forced
- Community feels heard and supported
- Content reflects real customer needs and language
- Social becomes a reliable brand touchpoint, not a content afterthought
Requirements
Who You Are
