Community Engagement Manager - Social Media

The Opportunity

If you thrive when social media moves fast, this is the kind of project you want to be part of.

We're looking for a Community Engagement Manager to join the social team of a highly recognizable global consumer brand during one of its biggest and most talked-about moments of the year.

Over this approximately two-month assignment, you'll be on the front lines of social conversation - helping manage increased engagement, fan reactions, content, trends, and user-generated content surrounding a major brand event.

This is an exciting opportunity to get hands-on experience with real-time social engagement at scale and contribute to a highly visible cultural and brand moment.

What You'll Do

• Help manage community engagement before, during, and following a major brand event.
• Monitor high volumes of comments, mentions, messages, and fan conversations across social platforms.
• Engage audiences in real time while maintaining an established brand voice.
• Identify exciting user-generated content (UGC) and fan reactions.
• Track trends, sentiment, emerging conversations, and cultural moments.
• Identify opportunities for the brand to authentically engage with its audience.
• Flag sensitive conversations or potential issues for escalation.
• Support social publishing and content operations during peak periods.
• Partner closely with social, content, creative, marketing, and event teams.
• Capture notable audience reactions, trends, and engagement opportunities as conversations unfold.

What We're Looking For

• 2+ years of experience in community management, social media, social engagement, digital marketing, or social content.
• Hands-on experience engaging audiences through major social platforms.
• Strong knowledge of Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, X, and emerging social platforms.
• Experience working in fast-paced or high-volume social environments.
• Excellent writing skills and the ability to quickly adopt an established brand voice.
• Strong instincts around internet culture, audience sentiment, and emerging conversations.
• Excellent judgment around what to engage with and what needs to be escalated.
• Ability to manage multiple conversations and priorities simultaneously.

Bonus Points

• Experience supporting major events, fashion or entertainment programming, live broadcasts, product launches, or large-scale campaigns.
• Experience sourcing and managing UGC.
• Background supporting fashion, beauty, lifestyle, entertainment, retail, or other consumer brands.
• Familiarity with social listening, community management, and publishing tools.

Why This Opportunity?

You'll get a front-row seat to social media during a major brand moment, working with a highly recognizable consumer brand while conversations are happening in real time.

For someone building a career in social media or community engagement, this is an opportunity to gain high-volume, high-visibility brand experience in a short period of time - and have a meaningful project to add to your portfolio when the assignment wraps.
