Job description

Overview

We’re Ditto Jobs, the job platform built for recruiters, jobseekers, and anyone who thinks the world of hiring sucks and needs fixing. Spoiler: it does. That’s where you come in.

We’re hunting for a Social Media Manager whose main gig is to make job hunting a little less shi**y. That means pumping out content people actually want to share, building community vibes with recruiters and jobseekers, and dropping epic memes that make everyone laugh while they cry about work.

What you’ll do:

• Create social content that actually slaps (no LinkedIn-style cringe).

• Be the brains and hands behind our meme game - we want people to say “Did you see that Ditto post today?”

• Be brave. We are not scared of pushing limits.

• Engage with our community of recruiters, hiring managers, and jobseekers — reply, banter, stir the pot (but in a clever way).

• Make job hunting suck less by keeping our tone real, funny, and brutally honest.

• Experiment with formats like video, gifs, sh*tposts, whatever gets people talking.

• Keep your finger on the pulse of internet culture, so we’re never late to a joke.

What we need from you:

• A proven knack for making content that does numbers (memes, posts, videos).

• A brain wired for internet culture. You live on X, TikTok, Reddit, and know what’s funny before it hits the mainstream.

• As a community-builder, you love starting conversations and keeping them alive.

• Comfort in chaos! We’re a startup, not a corporate. No one’s handing you a 20-page strategy doc. You make the vibe.

• Writing chops — you can go from savage roast to wholesome encouragement without missing a beat.

Perks:

• Competitive pay (we’re not monsters).

• Flexibility to work from wherever.

• A platform with millions of users already so your memes will not die in silence.

• The chance to make people laugh while helping them find jobs.

• Zero tolerance for boring.

If you’ve ever thought “job hunting is hell, but at least it’s memeable”, you’re exactly who we want.
