Job description

Social Media Manager | Nox Metals | Detroit, MI or Los Angeles, CA

About Nox Metals.

American factories deserve a supply chain that moves as fast as they do. Nox Metals is building it, along with the tools that run it. We’re a technology company with operations in Metro Detroit and Los Angeles, supplying aluminum plate, bar, and rounds to aerospace and defense manufacturers. We use software and automation to supply metal to American factories faster than the industry thought possible.

The role.

We’re hiring a Social Media Manager to build the daily voice of Nox Metals. You will turn real work (machines running, orders moving, customers building, and teammates solving problems) into a consistent presence that earns attention and trust.

This is not a role for reposting corporate announcements. You will spend time in our facilities, spot stories before someone assigns them, create content yourself, and learn from what the audience actually does.

You will:

• Own the social calendar and day-to-day publishing across priority channels


• Capture, write, edit, and publish timely photo, video, and text content


• Build recurring formats around factory work, team stories, customer outcomes, and company progress


• Partner with recruiting, sales, operations, and leadership to uncover useful stories


• Respond to comments and messages with good judgment and a consistent voice


• Track audience growth, engagement, traffic, applicants, and commercial signals


• Test hooks, formats, cadence, and distribution, then apply what the data shows


• Maintain a content library and obtain the permissions needed to publish responsibly


• Monitor relevant industrial and cultural conversations without chasing every trend


• Support launches, events, and occasional real-time coverage

You are:

• An excellent writer with strong visual instincts


• Fast, observant, and comfortable making good decisions without layers of approval


• A creator who can shoot and edit credible content with lightweight equipment


• Interested in factories, skilled work, technology, and American industry


• Analytical enough to separate meaningful audience behavior from vanity metrics


• Respectful of customer confidentiality, employee privacy, and factory safety


• Consistent, organized, and able to sustain quality over time

Nice to have:

• Experience growing a brand in manufacturing, technology, defense, logistics, or a technical category


• Experience with short-form video, photography, community management, or employee advocacy


• Comfort interviewing operators, customers, and executives


• Experience with analytics, scheduling, and social-listening tools


• Comfort using AI tools for research, ideation, repurposing, and analysis without flattening the voice

Benefits:

• Equity in Nox Metals


• Company-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance

This role is full time and in person in either Los Angeles or Detroit.
