Social Media Manager

About The Role

Social media is one of the most visible expressions of who Descript is, and right now, we have an opportunity to do it much better. We're hiring a Social Media Manager who understands the new media landscape, knows how to build systems (not just post content), and is excited to make Descript's presence something people really want to follow.

This role goes beyond owned channels. You'll own Descript's employee advocacy program—surveying employees, building training, and enabling them to show up authentically online. You'll support executive thought leadership, working directly with our “first team” executives. And you'll work cross-functionally to make sure launches, campaigns, and content from across the company reach the right social audiences.

What You'll Do

Social Strategy & Execution

• Own Descript's social presence across channels (LinkedIn, X/Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and others as relevant)
• Develop channel-specific strategy that plays to each platform's strengths and audience
• Build a content calendar, publishing cadence, and engagement framework

Content Repurposing & Atomization

• Build a system to transform one piece of content into multiple platform-native formats
• Partner with Content, PMM, and Brand to ensure social content is aligned and on-message
• Produce or direct the production of short-form social content

Community & Engagement

• Monitor conversations, trends, and brand mentions to engage in the right places, in the right way
• Build a social listening system that surfaces opportunities for brand participation
• Develop and maintain a response framework and community management guidelines

Employee Advocacy

• Build a program that makes it easy for employees to amplify company content and create their own—with Descript as the tool, turning posts into living product demos
• Design the incentive structure and enablement resources (templates, training, Claude-powered tooling) that drive consistent participation
