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
