HealthyBaby is redefining what it means to put health first for families, and we're looking for a Social Media Manager to help tell that story.

We're looking for someone who loves social media, understands the parenting space and isn't afraid to challenge what's expected. Someone who gets excited about building communities through thoughtful, engaging content and bringing fresh, creative ideas that help HealthyBaby stand out.

Working closely with the Senior Manager of Social, Influencer & Community, you'll lead content planning, publishing, community management and channel performance while collaborating with our creative and marketing teams to bring campaigns, launches and brand moments to life.

From launching new products and advocacy initiatives to collaborating with creators, healthcare professionals and mission-driven partners, you'll help shape the voice of a brand that's redefining what modern parenting looks like.

Why This Role Matters

At HealthyBaby, social media is more than a marketing channel. It's where we educate parents, advocate for healthier standards, celebrate everyday parenting moments and build meaningful relationships with our community.

As Social Media Manager, you'll play an important role in shaping how HealthyBaby shows up every day. From product launches and advocacy initiatives to community conversations and cultural moments, your creativity and instincts will help strengthen our voice while making parents feel seen, supported and informed. This role is perfect for someone who enjoys both strategy and execution.

• Build meaningful relationships with parents, creators, healthcare professionals and partners through daily engagement.
• Approach every community interaction with empathy, recognizing the unique needs and experiences of parents and caregivers.
• Monitor conversations to identify recurring questions, insights and opportunities that can inspire future content.

• Develop creative, social-first content ideas that educate, entertain and inspire parents.
• Create content briefs for designers and internal partners.

• Identify trends, insights and opportunities to continually improve content performance.
• Conduct competitive research and stay informed on what's happening across the parenting, wellness and social media landscape.

Creator Support

While this role is primarily focused on social media, you'll also support our creator program by:

• Coordinate product gifting and shipments for approved creators and partners.
• Organize creator content for potential social amplification.
• Track creator assets and help maintain an organized content library.
