The Purpose:

Slickdeals is on the hunt for a hands-on Social Media Specialist who lives and breathes content and can help us take our social game to the next level. This isn't a "post once a week and call it a day" role. We're looking for someone excited to roll up their sleeves, build influencer partnerships, create scroll-stopping posts and videos, and keep our community engaged. You'll be the one making sure Slickdeals shows up consistently across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and beyond-while working with smart, fun teammates across the company to make it happen. This position is a full-time contract role with the opportunity to convert to a full-time Slickdeals hire in the future.

What You'll Do:

• Scout, source, and manage influencers who can tell our story and connect with our community
• Create, edit, and publish written, visual, and video content that makes people stop scrolling
• Work with designers, marketers, and other stakeholders across the company to gather assets and bring campaigns to life
• Partner with our paid marketing team to boost influencer content and maximize ROI
• Handle contracts and payments for influencers with support from our finance and legal teams
• Use tools like Sprout Social, IFTTT, and bots/auto-responders to keep things running smoothly
• Engage with our community, test creative ways to spark conversation, and grow followers
• Measure what's working (and what's not), share insights, and constantly experiment to get better results
• Jump in on projects that need social love-like polishing up daily.slickdeals.net and making sure every touchpoint feels on brand
• Host and Present Content: Act as the on-screen host for live streams, product demos, interviews, and promotional videos.
• Collaborate with video production teams to script, rehearse, and film high-quality, engaging content.
• Serve as a public face of Slickdeals in video, social media, and potential media appearances.
• Collaborate on Video Concepts: Work with producers/designers to brainstorm and storyboard video ideas where they will appear on camera.

What We're Looking For:

• 3+ years running social media for a brand or agency with proven wins on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube or equivalent experience on personal projects
• Experience in finding and managing influencers end-to-end, from outreach to deliverables
• A portfolio of content you've created (video and non-video) that shows your range and creativity
• Comfortable and confident speaking to the camera and engaging live or recorded audiences.
• Strong verbal communication, improvisation, and storytelling abilities.
• Understanding of lighting, framing, and basic audio/video setup to ensure high-quality filming when working independently or remotely.
• Basic knowledge of video editing software.
• Basic knowledge of graphic design software (ie Canva).
• Personal Brand Awareness: Ability to maintain a professional yet approachable persona that aligns with Slickdeals' tone.
• Familiarity with automation tools (Sprout Social,auto-responders, bots) and how to use them to work smarter
• A track record of growing communities and showing ROI from engagement and influencer strategies
• Someone who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and can juggle multiple priorities without dropping the ball
• BA degree or equivalent experience
