We elevate the stories, build the communities, and support the founders shaping a better future.

Mission

Turn everyday products into social movements.

As Social Media Manager for our hero products - The 1% Diary, Conversation Cards etc. - you’ll be responsible for turning brand equity into real-world impact through smart, social-first storytelling.

You’ll drive brand visibility, deepen community connection, and ultimately convert attention into action through creative campaigns, original content, and a deep understanding of culture. This is a role for someone who knows how to build a brand online, and understands that community is currency, content drives commerce, and attention must be earned daily.

Objectives

Build and Scale Product Brands Through Social

• Own and operate Flight Story’s social channels for The 1% Diary and Conversation Cards.
• Lead always-on content and campaign moments across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts, and other key platforms.
• Shape and evolve the voice, identity, and content pillars of the product brands in line with audience interests and platform trends.

Drive Engagement, Loyalty & Community

• Design and execute campaigns that create conversation and build belonging around our product values — self-growth, connection, and reflection.
• Spotlight the community through UGC, street/event content, and customer storytelling.
• Use trend-driven content, cultural insights, and creative moments (e.g., dinner parties, street interviews) to keep the brand front-of-feed.

Deliver Results Through Creative Execution

• Collaborate with creative, performance, and production teams to execute social-first product shoots and content series.
• Drive sales through organic content that blends value, culture, and brand storytelling.
• Use data, insights, and AI tools to test, scale, and optimise content performance in real-time.

Competencies

Social-First Thinking – You understand the nuance of growing products through storytelling, influence, and platform-native content.

Ecommerce Awareness – You’ve worked on DTC or consumer brands and understand how to balance content with conversion.

Cultural Awareness – You keep your finger on the pulse of what’s trending, what’s relevant, and what makes people stop scrolling.

Creative Instincts – You bring fresh ideas to the table and know what makes something resonate visually and emotionally.

Executional Speed – You can work fast, react in real-time, and move from concept to publish without losing quality.

AI-Enhanced Workflow – You use AI tools to improve efficiency, scale content, and sharpen creative output.

Collaborative Mindset – You work cross-functionally to bring campaigns to life — across marketing, design, content, and performance.

What Success Looks Like

Within 6–12 months, you’ll have built a thriving social ecosystem around our core products, with:

• Significant growth across priority platforms
• Standout content moments that build both brand equity and product desires
• A clear voice, tone, and content strategy that turns passive followers into brand advocates
• Campaigns that deliver both reach and revenue, from viral moments to high-converting drops
