We’re looking for a Social Media Manager with deep knowledge of the bear community, strong creative instincts, and an intuition for what it takes to inhabit a voice and produce breakthrough content and connections across multiple social media platforms.

Follow social media developments, emerging formats, bear events, and relevant queer conversations. Apply trends intelligently and contribute original ideas.
Identify opportunities to work with bear creators, influencers, event organizers, venues, and community partners.
Work with the team to translate app features, updates, and campaigns into content that resonates with users.
Track engagement, audience growth, traffic, and app acquisition were measurable. Use those insights to test ideas and improve results.
Reflect a range of bodies, backgrounds, and experiences, respect member privacy and content permissions, and exercise sound judgment in sensitive conversations.
Work alongside the Growlr software product team to help guide feature priorities
