Social Media Manager

Social Media Manager @ RMD The Food Agency
Five plus years of social experience required
This role is full time in Columbus, Ohio. Hybrid 4 days in office, 1 day remote.
We Live on the Inside
Thirty years of food. We planted our flag decades ago and never moved it. Over the years, brands like Garage Beer, Motor City Pizza Co., Rudolph Foods, Panera, Keystone Meats, Raybern’s Sandwiches, and High Bank have trusted us to help build what’s next.

We are not for everyone. We work with brands hungry to disrupt. Midwest grit, West Coast energy, sleeves up.

And we’re just getting started. Thirty years of earned credibility in food, now paired with new ownership and a sharper connection to culture, community, and what’s next.

The Role: Social Media Manager
Lead social for food brands, turning culture into content, community, and growth. You decide what each brand says, why, where it shows up in culture, and when paid should give it a push.

You understand food. Not just what tastes or looks good, but why people talk about it, share it, line up for it and build communities around it. Then continue as you have it.

This Is You If

You obsess over culture. You know what broke today and whether a brand should touch it.

You never stop getting better. This job reinvents itself every year and so do you. You’re sharper than you were 12 months ago, and you know exactly how.

You live on the platforms, not just in them. A user first, a marketer second.

You find things early. The one who sends a link or DM first.

You know a trend has a shelf life. You understand the timing curve.

Has a point of view and brings it. You’d rather be told no than not have said it.

What You Own

The strategy. What your brands say, where they show up, and why. You set the direction, find the cultural opportunities, and bring the client along.

The work. Briefs that get you the work you pictured, concepts from idea to deliverable, and copy that sounds like the brand. When the moment can’t wait, you grab the phone.

The team. One direct report to grow, a content creator, and designers to brief and push, and AE, PR and influencer partners to build with.

The read. What performed, why it mattered, and what changes because of it. You bring the insight before the client asks. Monthly readouts, quarterly decks, never a numbers dump.

The community. The voice, the conversation, and the judgment call when something goes sideways. You own the escalation path and a publishing operation that never misses.

The paid. Monthly campaigns in Meta and Google Ads. Build them, budget them, watch them, and fold what you learn back into what you post next.

The operation. Calendars, approvals, and moving pieces across multiple brands. You keep it moving without someone chasing you.

The growth. Annual goals for your accounts, and the answer for whether you hit them.

What You Bring

Five plus years running social for brands, agency or in house, owning strategy, not just executing someone else's calendar.

Strong writer with range. Funny on Monday, serious on Tuesday.

Sprout Social or a comparable platform is muscle memory. Canva too.

A foundation in Meta and Google Ads. Ads Manager can't scare you.

You can shoot on a phone and it reads native, not produced.

Food, beverage, or restaurant experience is a plus, not a requirement. Appetite for it is a requirement.
