Social Media Manager
We're hiring a Social Media Manager to lead our day-to-day social strategy turning BizScout into the go-to brand for educational, engaging, and inspiring content about small business ownership.

You'll be responsible for growing our presence across LinkedIn, X (Twitter), Instagram, and Facebook and helping us test emerging channels and formats. This is a hands‑on role for a creative marketer who's equal parts strategist, writer, and content producer. You'll work closely with our Director of Marketing and leadership team to build a digital brand that feels human, high‑trust, and high‑impact.

If you've ever wanted to shape the voice of an early‑stage company, experiment with bold content ideas, and turn social media into a true growth engine this is your shot.

Develop and execute BizScout's content strategy across LinkedIn, X, Instagram, and Facebook

Create and schedule daily content that blends business education, deal flow, success stories, and marketplace updates

Manage community engagement across platforms responding to comments, building relationships, and sparking conversation

Work closely with our Head of Supply, broker partners, and marketing team to source story ideas and create original content

Track performance metrics and use insights to improve reach, engagement, and conversions

Experiment with new formats (threads, carousels, short‑form video, behind‑the‑scenes content, etc.)

Maintain and evolve our brand voice: human, trustworthy, smart, and action‑oriented

Who You Are

24+ years managing social media for a brand, startup, or agency

Strong writing chops with the ability to translate complex topics into clear, punchy content

Deep familiarity with platform‑native strategies (especially LinkedIn and X)

Creative mindset and a sharp eye for visual content, trends, and hooks

Self‑starter who thrives in fast‑paced environments and enjoys testing, learning, and iterating

Comfortable juggling multiple content streams and managing a calendar

Bonus If You

Have experience in financial services, investing, B2B, or marketplaces

Know your way around Canva, CapCut, or other lightweight design/editing tools

Are familiar with the world of small business, M&A, or entrepreneurship

Have helped grow a social channel from early days to serious traction

Why BizScout?
We're building something that doesn't exist yet a true, modern infrastructure for small business transactions. Our team is small but mighty, with leadership experience across marketplaces, private equity, and fintech. We move fast, think big, and deeply value creativity and ownership. You'll have a front‑row seat to the early days of building a category‑defining brand and a real opportunity to shape how people discover and pursue small business ownership.
