Social Media & Influencer Marketing Manager

About Just Good Soil Just Good Soil is a direct-to-consumer brand on a mission to make home gardening easier, accessible, and productive. Utilizing our cutting-edge soil testing kits, we provide customized guidance to home gardeners on how to amend nutrient deficiencies and improve overall soil health for more nutrient-dense food. We make soil amendments for regenerative gardens that actually work and we love helping people grow things at home. Our brand is rooted in authenticity and helping home gardeners grow better food without the chemicals. Were a growing brand rooted in the home and garden industry, and were looking for a creative, strategic social media lead to help tell our story and grow our community online. The Role Were hiring a Social Media Lead to own our presence across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and X to build the network of creators and affiliates who amplify it. This is a hands-on role for someone who lives and breathes social media, understands how to grow an audience organically, and knows how to cultivate genuine relationships with influencers and brand partners. Youll be responsible for the full content lifecycle from research and ideation to creation, scheduling, publishing, and reporting while simultaneously managing an active affiliate and influencer program. This isnt a post and ghost position. We want someone who is genuinely curious about whats working, whats not, and why, and who brings real creative energy to everything they touch. Oh, and one more thing: youll need a home garden of your own. We make products for people who get their hands dirty, and we want someone on our team who does too. What Youll Do Content & Channel Management You will own and manage a monthly content calendar spanning Instagram, Facebook, and Tik Tok ensuring a consistent publishing cadence that aligns with brand priorities and seasonal moments. Each month, you will produce a mix of static posts (delivered at 1080 x 1350) and short-form video content, complete with captions optimized for each platforms tone and audience. Youll handle all scheduling and publishing, and deliver a monthly organic performance report covering reach, engagement, follower growth, and content performance to inform the strategy going forward. Staying current is a core part of the job. Youll conduct ongoing trend and concept research to identify platform-specific opportunities, emerging formats, and relevant cultural moments that can be authentically tied back to the Just Good Soil brand. Affiliate & Influencer Management Youll own our affiliate and influencer program end-to-end. That means proactively recruiting new affiliates and influencers who are a genuine fit for the brand, managing all outreach and ongoing communications, and building relationships that go beyond a single post. Day-to-day responsibilities include: Recruiting new affiliates and influencers aligned with the Just Good Soil brand Managing all communications, outreach, and ongoing relationship-building Coordinating influencer and affiliate campaigns from brief to delivery Sourcing UGC assets for use across owned and paid channels What Were Looking For The ideal candidate has 24 years of hands-on social media experience, ideally with a consumer or lifestyle brand, plus demonstrated experience managing influencer or affiliate relationships. You should have a strong eye for visual content, comfort in front of (and behind) a camera, and the ability to write captions that sound human, not corporate. Experience with short-form video shooting, editing, or both is essential, and basic video editing skills are a must. Youre organized enough to juggle a multi-platform content calendar and an active creator network at the same time, analytical enough to interpret your own performance data, and personable enough to build real relationships with partners. Familiarity with scheduling tools and affiliate/influencer platforms (Social Snowball) is expected. A genuine passion for gardening, soil health, regenerative agriculture, or growing things is essential

and this brings us to a firm requirement:

you must have an active home garden that youre able to shoot content in.
