Job description

About this role

Join Hire Hangar and work with fast-growing global companies while building a long-term career. We are looking for a Brand Content & Social Media Manager to own full content engine. This is not a scheduler or a posting role — we need someone who thinks strategically and executes independently: from concept and creation through to influencer coordination and performance iteration.

Responsibilities

  • Produce scroll-stopping short-form video and image content.
  • Champion a real, human, non-AI content aesthetic that reflects brand's warmth and authenticity
  • Communicate product value through storytelling — not sales-speak
  • Own and manage a full social content calendar end-to-end
  • Write on-brand captions, select thumbnails, and handle all scheduling and publishing
  • Maintain brand consistency and posting cadence with minimal oversight
  • Proactively source and build relationships with influencers, and UGC contributors
  • Build and manage a content flywheel so the brand always has a pipeline of fresh, authentic material
  • Repurpose and organize creator content across Instagram and other channels
  • Lead Instagram growth through strategic content, engagement, and community building
  • Track performance and iterate based on what resonates with the target audience

Qualifications and requirements

  • Excellent written and spoken English — native or top-tier fluency required
  • Strong portfolio demonstrating end-to-end social media ownership for consumer brands
  • Proven ability to produce visually polished, on-brand content well beyond basic design tools
  • Experience managing influencer or UGC programs independently
  • Comfortable operating as a one-person content engine: strategy, creation, scheduling, and reporting
  • Instagram (primary channel)
  • Video/content creation tools (beyond Canva — demonstrate what you use)
  • Project management tools: Asana, ClickUp, or similar
