Social & Content Manager

Kansas City, MO

At MERGE, we are Built Different. We are a marketing and technology agency purpose-built for the intersection of health and wellness—where human impact matters most. By weaving storytelling through technology, we move beyond traditional engagement to Whole Human Marketing. This approach recognizes that humans are multidimensional and complex, and uses AI to ensure every brand interaction feels natural, contextual, and relevant.

This commitment to human-first innovation is what brings us together and propels us forward. We are united by our North Star: to unite people and brands to empower healthier, happier lives.

Emerge to the Top of Your Career

At MERGE, we strive to create a superior work experience where talented and ambitious people grow. An experience that encourages people to think higher and feel deeper. An experience where people engage their minds and hearts to do the best work of their careers.

About the Role

MERGE is looking for a cutting-edge, culture-fluent Social & Content Manager to own our brand’s voice in social. You are the person who knows what’s good, what’s next, and what will land — translating agency news, client wins, and thought leadership into content people actually stop for. LinkedIn and Instagram are your primary stages, and you own them: the strategy, the calendar, the community, and the craft.

This is an owner's role. You're scrappy, autonomous, and resourceful — someone who takes the reins and runs — with the enterprise-level instincts to build a real system: a social plan, templates that let us move fast, and the judgment to know when something deserves the full weight of our creative team.  You set the voice, you protect it, and you make MERGE feel unmistakably human and unmistakably us in every feed we show up in.

What You’ll Do

Own the Voice & the Plan

  • Own the social strategy: Set the strategic direction and end-to-end execution for MERGE’s corporate social — primarily LinkedIn and Instagram — building the plan that elevates our brand position across our core themes and audiences.
  • Build the system: Develop the content calendar, templates, and repeatable formats that let a lean team ship consistently — mapped to agency priorities, client announcements, major events, and thought leadership.
  • Be the brand’s voice: Own a cohesive, distinctly human social voice — writing captions and content that feel authored, never automated, and never generic. You use modern tools to move faster, but the work always sounds like a person, and always like MERGE.

Create & Elevate the Content

  • Make the work: Create and publish platform-native content day to day — writing, designing, and editing in-platform — with the taste to know what earns a save, a share, or a comment versus what scrolls by.
  • Partner on the big swings: Work with our creative and design teams on higher-production initiatives — video, campaigns, brand moments — knowing when to move solo and when a moment deserves the full team.
  • Live in the culture: Track trends, formats, and cultural moments, and put a MERGE spin on the ones worth joining — keeping us current, credible, and part of the conversation.

Build Community & Advocacy

  • Manage the community: Be the human voice behind the brand — engaging followers, monitoring conversations, and cultivating the interactions that build a real audience over time.
  • Grow employee advocacy: Lead and grow MERGE’s Employee Advocacy Program — equipping our people with shareable assets and coaching them to amplify our story in their own voices.
  • Partner across the agency: Work with practice areas, ERGs, and PR to align social with company strategy, and to surface the stories, spotlights, and cultural moments worth telling.

Run the Operation

  • Own the tools & vendors: Serve as the point of contact for social platforms, scheduling tools, and vendors — managing renewals, adopting new features, and keeping our stack sharp.
  • Prove what works: Track performance across channels, report to leadership in plain terms, and use the data to continuously refine what we make and how we show up.

What You’ll Bring

  • 5+ years managing corporate or agency social media, ideally B2B — with a portfolio of content and communities you’ve grown.
  • A culture-forward point of view: you’re genuinely online, fluent in platform-native formats, and you have the taste to know what good looks like on LinkedIn and Instagram.
  • Strong B2B and social forward copywriting — you write conversationally, adapt tone by audience, and keep the brand voice human, sharp, and never templated.
  • Hands-on fluency with Adobe for building and editing social assets, plus scheduling and social-management tools.
  • Fluent with AI and LLM tools as a creative accelerant — you use them to move faster and sharper, with the judgment to keep the output authentically human and on-brand.
  • A scrappy, autonomous owner: self-motivated, resourceful, and comfortable running the show end to end while juggling multiple priorities.
  • Community and advocacy instincts — prior experience running an advocacy program or managing a brand community is a plus.
  • A data-informed approach: comfortable with analytics and turning performance into better content.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Communications, Journalism, or equivalent practical experience.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 07/31/2029

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
