🎯 The Role

We're looking for a Social Media & Community Manager who lives and breathes internet culture, obsesses over what makes content go viral, and treats every new series drop like a major theatrical release. This is not a "post and ghost" social media job — it's a full-stack content and community role at the intersection of streaming and AI filmmaking.

You'll own TrueShort's organic social presence across TikTok, Instagram, X, and YouTube — growing our brand across AI filmmakers, building a passionate community, and converting followers into subscribers. You'll also manage a network of UGC creators and automated accounts, making organic social a genuine growth engine for the business.

If you have strong opinions about what's trending, a feel for the algorithm, and the creative instincts to make a streaming brand feel culturally alive — this role is for you.

🚀 What You'll DoContent Strategy & Creation

• Own the content calendar across TikTok, Instagram, X, and YouTube — planning, creating, editing, and posting daily

• Develop and execute the overall organic social strategy, balancing brand awareness with subscriber acquisition

• Write sharp, platform-native copy and captions that stop the scroll

• Collaborate with editors and designers to produce polished, on-brand content at a high cadence

• Use AI tools to accelerate content production without sacrificing quality or originality

• Make every new series release feel like a major cultural event — building anticipation, momentum, and conversation

Community & Engagement

• Respond to comments, DMs, and replies across all platforms — promptly and with personality

• Proactively engage with relevant creators, accounts, and conversations to grow our reach organically

• Facilitate and grow a passionate community of both fans and AI film enthusiasts

• Engage authentically within the AI filmmaking community on social media

• Handle customer service emails and support tickets, escalating issues where appropriate

Distribution & Growth

• Manage a network of UGC creators who post daily on their own accounts — briefing, coordinating, and reviewing their content

• Manage automated organic TikTok accounts as part of a broader distribution strategy

• Drive measurable growth in brand awareness, follower counts, and new subscriber acquisition through organic channels

Analytics & Optimization

• Track, report on, and act on performance analytics across all platforms

• Spend dedicated time studying what's going viral on TikTok and Instagram — reverse-engineering trends and applying them to our content

• Continuously test and iterate on formats, hooks, and posting cadences to improve performance

💪 What You Bring

• 3–6 years of experience in social media, content, or community — ideally in consumer

• Proven track record of growing an account from the ground up — bring the receipts

• Deep fluency in TikTok, Instagram, X, and YouTube — you understand how each platform's algorithm works and how to play to its strengths

• Obsessive awareness of internet culture, memes, trends, and what makes things spread

• Genuine love of movies, TV, and storytelling — you'll need it to bring our content to life authentically

• Experience managing or coordinating with UGC creators or influencers

• Comfort using AI tools in your creative workflow

• Strong copywriting instincts — you write captions that get engagement, not just impressions

• Highly organized, self-directed, and able to manage a high-volume content operation without dropping the ball

• Passion for the idea that AI can unlock creativity for independent storytellers

• Bonus: experience in streaming, entertainment, or consumer subscription
