Social Media & Content Manager

Remote
 
 
 
 

Job Type: Full-Time | Location: Remote (United States Only)

Job Summary

We're looking for a highly versatile, self-sufficient creator to own our entire social and content presence, start to finish. This isn't a "manage the calendar" role or a "just edit the footage" role: you'll script, shoot, edit, write, post, analyze, and engage, largely on your own. Hootsuite will be the primary tool you use to focus on community management. You're equal parts storyteller, editor, strategist, and community manager, and you're excited to use  AI tools (Claude especially) to move faster and punch above a team of one. If you thrive owning something end-to-end and love the startup and venture capital world, this is your seat.

Responsibilities

Strategy & Management

  • Own and grow our presence across LinkedIn, X (Twitter), Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Threads, and Facebook, with emphasis on engagement and follower growth.
  • Build and manage the content calendar, campaigns, and promotions (X chats, LinkedIn conversations) in partnership with the VP of Marketing.
  • Knowledge of Hootsuite, and ability to focus on community management with our audience.
  • Track and report on engagement, growth, and content performance; use data to shape what we make next.
  • Write and post for the CEO's personal accounts (X, Instagram).

Content Creation & Video

  • Script, film, and edit short- and long-form video for LinkedIn, TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube.
  • Manage our YouTube channel, including live streaming.
  • Rework long-form content (interviews, podcast episodes) into punchy, platform-native short clips.
  • Edit using tools like Claude, Descript, CapCut, or Canva, with working knowledge of Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut Pro a plus.
  • Comfortable appearing on camera to host, interview, or introduce content (nice to have, not required).

Podcast

  • Edit the GiveFirst podcast (audio and video), transcribe episodes, and cut highlight clips for distribution.
  • Create podcast titles and descriptions. 
  • Source and schedule guests from the Techstars network (founders, mentors, investors, alumni).

Writing & Community

  • Write copy across formats: long-form LinkedIn posts, snackable X copy, video scripts, captions.
  • Monitor and engage in relevant conversations about the company, competitors, and industry; route conversations to the right internal person when needed.
  • Support digital events (live-streamed presentations, panels) with light production and moderation.

AI-Enabled Workflow

  • Use AI tools, Claude in particular, to accelerate scripting, editing workflows, research, transcription cleanup, and content ideation. We want someone who treats AI as a force multiplier for a team of one, not an afterthought.

About You

  • A true hybrid: equally comfortable behind a camera, in an edit bay, and writing copy.
  • Self-starter who can run an entire content pipeline (sourcing the story, producing it, and distributing it) without a hand-off.
  • Sharp copywriting instincts and obsessive attention to grammar, spelling, and factual accuracy.
  • Data-informed but not data-paralyzed: you use metrics and intuition together.
  • Comfortable in a fast-paced, resource-lean, founder-mode environment where priorities shift fast.

Qualifications

  • A public body of work that shows range: short-form social video, long-form content, and written copy, with real audience traction (not coursework or personal projects with no distribution).
  • Track record of growing a social presence from near-zero, whether your own, a client's, or an employer's, with real follower or engagement growth you can point to and explain.
  • Solo ownership of a video project end-to-end: scripted, filmed, edited, and published, ideally with measurable views or engagement.
  • Experience running a podcast or long-form audio/video series from recording through publishing and clipping, even at small scale.
  • Fluent, hands-on use of AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, or similar) as part of your actual content workflow, not just occasional use.
  • Comfortable with Hootsuite or similar scheduling/analytics tools, and Adobe Creative Suite, Descript, Canva, or comparable editing tools.
  • Experience in venture capital, private equity, startups, or accelerators is a huge plus.
  • BA/BS in marketing, communications, film, or related field. 

A Note on Scope: This role consolidates what were previously two positions (Social Media Manager and Digital Content Producer & Editor) into one. Finding a candidate who is equally senior across social strategy, video production, and podcast/audio editing is rare. Prioritize strong video production and social copywriting as must-haves, and treat deep podcast/audio editing as trainable on the job.

Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the position is filled.

Compensation & Benefits

Salary Range: $95,000 - $105,000/yr

Benefits: Techstars offers a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, dental, and vision insurance, a 401(k) retirement plan, and paid time off.

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.
