WHO WE ARE

Pennant Digital is a full-service digital marketing agency, focusing on audience development, content strategy, social media, and analytics. Our clients are some of the world’s most recognizable brands, including Hearst Autos, Car and Driver, SPIN Magazine, Autoweek, Bring a Trailer, and Road & Track. We are headquartered in New Jersey with a fully remote team spanning Boston, Brooklyn, Austin, Oklahoma City, Seattle, Milwaukee, and Madison.

THE ROLE

Pennant Digital is seeking a SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER to work on a wide variety of Pennant Digital’s client accounts during weekend hours and beyond. Our automotive clients will be a priority for this position, but weekend tasks will likely include work for clients in other industries.

The SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER position will be filled by an experienced and passionate social media professional who is comfortable and confident publishing on all social media platforms.

The SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER will be responsible for managing select social media accounts, creating native content, engaging across platforms, tracking and reporting on analytics, and driving strategy. This role calls for experience with and a passion for Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and beyond. Social video and photo editing skills are a must, as is prior experience working with large accounts in a fast-paced environment.

The right candidate will be comfortable juggling a prepared content calendar with the real-time demands of social media. Project timelines will range from weeks to "ASAP." Our clients have come to expect expert insights and execution on projects ranging from social media to newsletters to content strategy, and this role will be charged with upholding that reputation.

Apply for this position if you have the relevant experience, work well in a fast-paced environment, are passionate about all stages of social media management, and available to work Saturday and Sunday in addition to more hours over the course of a given week.

This position is open for either full or part-time employment depending on availability, fit, and experience, but weekend hours are the biggest need here.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Manage multiple social media channels for automotive clients and beyond. You are comfortable publishing and actively engaging audiences across TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube.
• Edit images as needed. You are comfortable cropping images to swipe seamlessly in an Instagram carousel, including panoramic photos that stretch across multiple slides. You have a keen eye for spacing, positioning, and what works on social media.
• Edit videos as needed. You welcome the challenge of turning a 40-minute, 16:9 video created for YouTube into a compelling TikTok or Instagram reel.
• Collaborate with Pennant's design team to develop cohesive and effective visuals for clients, and team up to create workflows and templates to streamline turnaround for your clients' design needs.
• Develop and follow brand guidelines, including tone and content strategy, across all platforms. This is an important part of every client relationship, and you are an active participant alongside Pennant leadership and the client.
• Proactively unearth new ways to help our clients thrive on social media. You are always seeking emerging digital trends and thinking of ways Pennant can take advantage.
• Collaborate and communicate with colleagues across Pennant's divisions to ensure all social media professionals are following best practices and leveraging trends.
• Work transparently on all projects and content calendars. Expertly organize all of your digital assets in an easy-to-access manner.

YOU ARE

• A talented social media professional with a deep passion for and understanding of the automotive industry.
• Impactful and purpose-driven on social media. You know what needs to be posted, where, and why. These instincts are forged through hands-on professional experience.
• An effective social media storyteller. You can summarize a news article in three Instagram carousel tiles or less, turn the best part of a 43-minute YouTube video into a compelling 30-second TikTok, and write crisp copy that stops the thumbs of social media scrollers.
• Extremely particular and detail-oriented. A single misplaced pixel or apostrophe gives you heartburn.
• Prolific. Firing off 25 social media posts is a down day for you.
• In tune with what the internet is invested in at any given moment, and are able to capitalize on up-and-coming trends
• Active on social media and a rabid consumer of social media news and best practices.
• A capable improviser: When news breaks and trends emerge, you will help the team capitalize.
• You are "coachable" - When our design team holds workshops or directs you in a 1-1 setting, you walk away with new tools in your toolbox. When your social media colleagues or Pennant leadership lend you tips or advice, you turn it into action.
• Curious and open-minded. Pennant's client roster stretches well beyond automotive - you embrace any exposure to new topics and audiences.
• A self-starter and strong finisher: you take pride in developing a plan, executing it, and reporting on results.
• A strong communicator and listener no matter the format: video calls, email, chat, social posts, and most importantly: visual design.
• A strong written communicator. Your social copy and client emails are straightforward, accessible, and rarely contain typos or grammatical mistakes. You don't waste anyone's time with excessive language.
• Able to decipher client and teammate requests without displaying frustration or condescension. People feel comfortable describing their needs to you.
• Eager to learn about new platforms and develop fresh techniques to help clients grow their digital footprint.
• Proficient in a wide range of digital tools, from creative (Adobe suite) to analytical (Google Analytics, spreadsheets) to communications (Slack) to productivity apps (at least one of Trello, Airtable, Notion).
• Independently productive: you thrive in a remote work environment and know the “always on” nature of digital publishing and social media will result in the occasional inconvenient emergency.
• A creative thinker ready to jump into strategy sessions and unafraid to suggest ideas.
• A willing collaborator who fights to see others succeed. You take pride in sharing your best ideas across Pennant's divisions.
• Acutely aware of your capabilities—and your shortcomings. If you aren't qualified or prepared to answer a client's question, you have the humility to seek additional help for the good of the client.
• A team player who puts projects and clients ahead of ego.
• Able to reliably connect during your work hours via Slack, email, phone, and video. Sometimes all of the above in a single day.
