Job description

Modish Creative Co. is a Detroit-based, full-service creative agency specializing in branding, graphic design, web design, and social media management. We work with a mix of restaurants, nonprofits, and growing businesses, helping brands find their voice and show up consistently across digital and print.

We’re looking for a social media manager who can juggle multiple brands, create content that actually feels different from client to client, and keep things moving without needing a play-by-play.

Someone who understands that posting consistently is great, but having a strategy behind it is better.

More importantly, we want someone who can jump into the team and take ownership of their work.

Why This Role Exists

We manage social media for a range of clients across different industries. Each has its own voice, audience, goals, and personality. Our job is to make sure their content reflects that, looks good, and actually serves a purpose. That means strategy matters. Content matters. And yes, the details matter, too.

What You’ll Actually Do

• Manage social media accounts across Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.
• Build monthly content calendars that connect creative ideas to actual client goals
• Plan and participate in content shoots, from shot lists to creative direction
• Collaborate with our copywriter and graphic designer to bring content calendars to life
• Manage our video editing contractor, including art direction, deadlines, feedback, and final deliverables
• Schedule and publish content, keeping everything organized and on track
• Review quarterly analytics and use the numbers to make smarter decisions
• Keep up with platform changes and trends without chasing every trend that comes along
• Keep projects moving by communicating with clients, gathering information, and flagging roadblocks before they become problems
• Ensure content stays aligned with each client's brand, strategy, and goals
• Collaborate with the team to identify opportunities, improve workflows, and make the work stronger

What You’re Like

• You can think strategically and execute. We need both.
• You know the difference between posting content and building a content strategy
• You can switch between brands without giving everyone the same personality
• You understand how to work with copywriters and designers to bring a creative vision to life
• You’re organized enough to manage multiple clients without dropping the ball
• You take initiative
• You can look at analytics and understand what they mean beyond the numbers on a screen
• You’re comfortable directing creative work and giving clear feedback to contractors
• You know your way around social platforms and scheduling tools
• You can capture photo and video content, especially short-form video
• You communicate clearly, meet deadlines, and don't wait until something is overdue to mention there's a problem

You’ll Love This Role If…

• You like variety and get bored doing the same thing every day
• You enjoy working across different brands, industries, and creative styles
• You like having a hand in the whole process, from the initial idea to the final post
• You enjoy brainstorming with a team and making good ideas even better
• You like a mix of creative freedom and having a solid plan
• You take pride in making things work better, not just getting them done

What This Is Not

• No posting just to fill a calendar
• No treating every client like they have the same audience or goals
• No waiting around for someone to tell you what needs to happen next
• No throwing content together at the last minute because nobody planned ahead
• No managing contractors without giving them direction
• No pretending a report full of numbers is the same thing as a strategy

What We’re Looking For

• 2+ years of social media management experience
• Experience managing multiple brands or client accounts
• Strong content planning and organizational skills
• Experience with social media scheduling and analytics tools
• Experience managing contractors or creative workflows is a plus
• Photo and video production experience is a plus
• Agency experience is a plus, but being resourceful, organized, and good at what you do matters more

Why This Is Fun

• You’ll work across a mix of brands that keeps things interesting
• You’ll have room to bring ideas to the table and make things better
• You’ll work alongside a creative team that cares about the work
• You’ll be trusted to own your role and manage your responsibilities
• We take the work seriously, not ourselves
