We're continuing to invest heavily in building the best creator platform with the best team in the creator economy and are looking for a Social Community Manager to support our mission.

This role is based in New York or San Francisco and open to those who are able to be in-office 2 days per week on a hybrid work model or remotely in Los Angeles. This is also a contract position between July-December 2025 at 40 hours/week with the possibility of moving into full-time.
