Base pay range $65,000.00/yr - $95,000.00/yr
At Shinesty, we design dangerously comfortable clothing and sell with an irreverent and eclectic brand voice. Our mothers don't always approve of what we do, but the millions of people we've entertained over the years do. We're looking for a Social Media Manager to take the reins of our social presence and continue making Shinesty the funniest, most engaging apparel brand on the internet. This isn't just memes and shit posts, though—we're looking for someone who's a great creative storyteller to create compelling, high-quality content of all types that grows our following and engages our audience.
What You’ll Do Content Creation & Social Storytelling (50%)
Independently produce content that embodies Shinesty’s brand voice and sense of humor and gets the people going.
Own and execute TikTok and Instagram strategies, with a focus on driving organic growth and engagement.
Tackle YouTube as a new organic channel and grow our audience with short- and longform content.
Act as the creative voice behind our social channels—brainstorming, scripting, shooting, and editing content that resonates.
Identify and execute high-visibility, pro‑and‑reactive PR stunts that capture pop culture + news moments to amplify our brand.
Community Engagement & Brand Personality (30%)
Keep the Shinesty community engaged and entertained by responding to comments, DMs, and user‑generated content.
Develop creative ways to involve our audience in content including (but not limited to) trends, challenges, video series, image series, giveaways, etc.
Copywriting & Marketing Support (20%)
Pinch hit and support the marketing team as a creative lead by writing marketing copy and producing campaigns for onsite, email, SMS, paid channels, PR, and other channels as needed.
Jump in on miscellaneous marketing efforts as needed—because we move fast, and every day brings something new.
Requirements
A great storyteller who is comfortable on camera and can tell stories about our brand, products, employees, and whatever weird stuff.
A self‑sufficient content creator who can brainstorm, execute, and edit videos without hand‑holding.
Funny as hell. You get the Shinesty brand and can translate it into engaging, irreverent content for our fans.
A strong writer who can craft witty, effective copy that drives engagement and sales.
A learner who understands why a piece or style of content hit or flopped, and knows when to double down or move on to another angle.
We Will Consider
Every applicant, regardless of professional background or years of experience.
Makes us laugh hysterically and understands and likes the brand.
Will get along with our team and cares about making something original and great, even if that means a lot of failure on the way there.

A video of you explaining why you don’t have a portfolio but why you should be considered anyway.
Or something else we haven’t even thought of.
Link or upload a 30s - 1min video about a past or current job that shows off your storytelling chops.
We’re not looking for the slickest production or the best lighting — we’re looking for someone who can hold our attention and make us laugh.

Competitive salary plus generous bonus incentives.
Laptop and whatever other equipment you need to entertain the people.
