Affirm is hiring: Social & Community Manager in Austin

Join to apply for the Social & Community Manager role at Affirm.

Affirm is reinventing credit to make it more honest and friendly, giving consumers the flexibility to buy now and pay later without any hidden fees or compounding interest.

The Brand & Communications team builds trust and drives impact through creative campaigns and storytelling that bring Affirms mission to life. Social is one of the most important ways we show up in culture, engage our community, and make our brand resonate with the audiences that matter most.

What You’ll Do

• Be our cultural radar: Spot trends, creators, and conversations—from TikTok to Reddit to whatever comes next—and know when/how Affirms should show up.
• Participate in real time: Jump into cultural moments and dialogue with the right tone, speed, and creativity.
• Build community: Foster dialogue and connection, turning participation into trust and loyalty.
• Bring campaigns to life: Partner with Communications, Brand, and Partner Marketing to ensure launches and narratives feel social‑first.
• Push creative boundaries: Experiment with new formats and ideas that stretch how Affirms shows up in culture.
• Measure and refine: Use social listening and analytics to capture insights, optimize, and continually raise the bar.

What We Look For

• 8–10 years of experience in social and community, with flexibility to consider exceptional candidates with 5+ years who demonstrate outsized cultural fluency and impact.
• Profound knowledge of trends, memes, creators, and communities shaping culture, and the ability to spot what matters before it peaks.
• Proven track record of sparking conversation and building community—creating connection and participation, not just publishing content.
• Strong creative instincts and storytelling skills that feel natural across formats, from short‑form video to emerging cultural expressions.
• Experience collaborating with creators and cultural voices to amplify stories authentically.
• Comfort moving fast in real time with judgment to know when to act and when not to.
• Analytical mindset with experience using social listening and reporting tools (e.g., Sprout Social) to guide decisions.
• Collaborative, curious, and energized by working across teams to make campaigns and moments social‑first.
