Social Media Channel Manager
Boats Group, Miami, FL, United States
Miami, FL (Hybrid)
Boats Group, the parent company of Boat Trader, YachtWorld, and boats.com, is hiring a Channel Manager to own audience growth, marketplace inventory distribution, and conversion across social platforms.
This role is responsible for translating marketplace inventory and product capabilities into scalable, high‑performing distribution across social channels.
This is not a creative content role. It is a technically‑minded channel leadership position focused on:
Audience growth strategy
Marketplace inventory activation
AI‑enabled content scaling
Cross‑channel distribution infrastructure
Clear communication of technical and platform requirements
As Boats Group continues to scale its marketplaces, this role ensures social channels function as structured distribution engines — not just brand outlets.
What You’ll be Doing
Own Audience Growth Strategy Across Social Channels
Set and manage audience growth targets for each social platform in partnership with the Creative Content Director
Define channel‑specific KPIs aligned to marketplace traffic, engagement, and lead generation
Partner with the Paid Performance team to accelerate audience acquisition through strategic amplification
Align audience growth strategies to high‑value marketplace segments
Define Channel‑Specific Strategy & Technical Requirements
Develop clear strategic positioning for each platform, emphasizing transactional channels that drive inventory visibility, lead generation, and traffic.
Create channel playbooks outlining:
Purpose and role of each platform
Content types and format standards
Metadata, tagging, and feed requirements
Posting cadence and performance metrics
Collaborate with and clearly communicate with Product, Data, and Tech teams:
What data fields are required for effective distribution
How listing data must be structured for social formats
What automation, API, or feed enhancements are needed
Where friction exists in current workflows
This role serves as the bridge between channel performance goals and the technical infrastructure required to support them.
Collaborate Deeply with Product & Technology
Partner with Product Managers and Engineering to build scalable systems that "pipe" marketplace listings into social‑ready formats
Translate channel needs into clear product requirements and documentation
Ensure listing metadata, structured data, and media assets support distribution at scale
Align social channel capabilities with new marketplace feature launches
Advocate for automation and tooling that improves speed, consistency, and performance
Scale Inventory‑Based Video Using AI
Develop AI‑enabled workflows to scale short‑form and long‑form boat review content derived from marketplace inventory
Identify opportunities to automate scripting, editing, voiceover, and formatting
Ensure AI‑assisted content meets brand standards and drives marketplace outcomes
Work with content creators to source raw materials and optimize them for structured distribution
Content Performance Optimization
Determine which inventory types perform best on which channels
Continuously test format, hook, structure and CTA placement
Ensure alignment between organic strategy and paid amplification
Drive qualified traffic and leads back to Boat Trader, YachtWorld, and boats.com
Cross‑Functional Execution
Work closely with Product & Engineering (infrastructure, automation, data feeds)
Paid Performance (audience acceleration, testing, scaling)
SEO & Growth (demand capture alignment)
Content Creators & Video Teams (asset sourcing and optimization)
Provide clear documentation and communication across teams to ensure alignment and execution at scale
What You Should Have
5+ years of experience in channel management, growth marketing, marketplace distribution, or performance marketing
Demonstrated experience working cross‑functionally with Product and Engineering teams
Ability to translate business goals into technical requirements and documentation
