TRUFF is a premium truffle‑infused condiments brand – born at the intersection of heat and flavor. In 2015, TRUFF co‑founders built the popular food and lifestyle Instagram account @sauce. Just two years later, in 2017, TRUFF launched TRUFF Original Hot Sauce, which catapulted into internet virality and beyond. Earning countless awards and accolades, including Oprah’s Favorite Things (6×) and Adweek’s Best Brand Born Out of Social Media, TRUFF has become one of the fastest growing brands in condiments. TRUFF has partnered with Hidden Valley Ranch, Star Wars, Taco Bell, Popeyes, Travis Scott, and Starbucks, and over the years has expanded into complementary condiment categories – pasta sauce, mayo, oil, and seasonings. TRUFF’s uniquely premium taste and aroma amplify the flavor experience of everyday dishes to make every day a culinary moment.

Job Summary

We’re looking for a Social Media Growth Hacker – a creative, data‑driven, internet‑native operator obsessed with building cultural moments and engineering virality. This role blends content creation, distribution strategy, and cultural pattern recognition to fuel TRUFF’s next wave of organic growth.

You’ll work closely with our founders and marketing leadership to turn ideas into scroll‑stopping moments across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts, and emerging platforms. You’ll understand how to produce, clip, remix, seed, and distribute content for maximum reach. You’ll live in the comment sections, spot trends before they break, and know how to turn a viral moment into a business outcome.

This isn’t a “post and pray” social role – it’s a creative growth lab for someone who thrives on experimentation, velocity, and storytelling through culture.

Key Responsibilities

Engineer virality: Identify, create, and capitalize on trends, moments, and sounds across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube

Build the content engine: Develop daily/weekly content calendars, leveraging UGC, internal/external shoots, and short‑form clip strategies that scale across multiple TRUFF and partner accounts

Clip farming & content distribution: Source, cut, and seed hundreds of short clips across pages to test hooks, angles, and communities for maximum reach and engagement

Operate like an internet newsroom: Monitor culture, competitors, and community signals in real‑time to inform TRUFF’s next moves

Collaborate with founders & SVP Marketing: Concept, shoot, and publish brand‑led or personality‑driven moments that blur the line between brand and creator

Community + culture management: Live in the comments, stitch creators, respond with wit, and make TRUFF feel human

Influencer & creator sourcing: Partner with creators and meme pages for collabs, trend participation, and content amplification

Experiment & scale: Test new formats, AI tools, social distribution tactics, and “unscalable” experiments that move the algorithm

Analytics & learning loops: Use data and platform insights to refine creative direction, track virality patterns, and build a playbook of what works

Content Production

Shoot, edit, and publish video/photo content natively optimised for each platform – fast, scrappy, and aesthetic.

Requirements

Deep understanding of internet culture, virality, and meme psychology

3+ years managing or creating social media content for a consumer brand or creator‑driven business

Proven track record of creating viral or high‑engagement content

Strong experience with short‑form editing and clipping tools (CapCut, Premiere, Descript, etc.) and multi‑platform publishing

Understanding of content distribution systems – repost networks, collab strategies, paid boosts, and shadow channels

Excellent copywriting and visual storytelling skills

Comfortable being on camera and experimenting with creative formats

Data‑driven mindset – able to analyse performance and pivot quickly

Proficient in Google Suite, Sprout Social, Meta Business Manager, and analytics dashboards

Bonus: Experience building pages or brands from scratch, creator economy fluency, or running niche meme / content accounts

Wake up on TikTok, fall asleep on Reddit

Can take a raw clip and make it go viral

Get excited by chaos, creativity, and community

Love brands that blur lines between food, culture, and humour
