Hire Social Media Manager for Entertainment
Senior, direct, no layers

Entertainment runs on dates that cannot move. A release, a premiere, a tour on-sale, a festival window: miss the moment and the audience has already moved on to something else. Behind every launch sits a chain of assets, approvals, rights clearances, and distribution partners, and most of it is still coordinated over email threads, spreadsheets, and chat messages that nobody can search afterwards.

The other pressure is fragmentation. A single title now lives on streaming platforms, social feeds, ticketing sites, merch stores, and press outlets at the same time, each with its own format, deadline, and reporting. Teams that handle this by hand spend their weeks re-keying the same information and chasing the same files, instead of doing the creative and commercial work that actually fills seats and sells streams.

A social media manager runs the day-to-day social presence for entertainment companies: content planning, publishing, community management, and the paid social that amplifies what works. The work is built around your audience's actual habits — which platforms they use, what formats they respond to, and what a post is supposed to achieve — rather than a generic posting calendar.

Tools and systems. The tooling in entertainment is specific, and any build has to respect it rather than replace it. Post-production teams review cuts in Frame.io and cut in Adobe Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve; production coordinators track schedules and deliverables in Asana or Airtable; assets move through Dropbox or Google Drive; music and audio work runs through Avid Pro Tools; ticketing and box-office data comes from the venue or promoter's own platform. A new system earns its place only when it connects to this stack instead of asking a team on deadline to learn a different one.

Where the work pays off. What that means in practice: the work that pays off is unglamorous and operational. A single source of truth for release assets and approvals, so nobody ships the wrong trailer cut. Automated distribution of the right file to the right platform in the right spec. A fan database that is actually usable for the next on-sale instead of a pile of exports. Ticketing, merch, and streaming numbers reported in one place so a launch week can be judged on evidence, not gut feel. The creative work stays human; the coordination around it is where technology earns its keep.
