Freelance Social Media Manager

We’re looking for an experienced Freelance Social Media Manager to support an established Inglewood-based hair and beauty business.

This is a good fit for someone who can take ownership of the social media function, bring ideas to the table, and keep content moving without needing constant direction. We’re not looking for someone who simply waits for content to be handed to them and posts it.

The right person understands that strong social media content starts with understanding the brand, its audience, communication guidelines, goals, and priorities. You should be able to use that foundation to plan and create content that makes sense for the business.

Most of the work can be completed remotely, but you must be local to the Los Angeles area and available for periodic in-person content capture in Inglewood, CA.

This is a 1099 independent contractor opportunity, not an employee position.

What You’ll Do

• Develop and manage monthly content plans that support consistent daily posting across the brand’s social platforms
• Batch-create and prepare content in advance to maintain a consistent daily content cadence
• Help identify content themes, campaigns, and opportunities that make sense for the brand
• Contribute ideas and recommendations that strengthen the overall social media direction
• Write engaging captions, calls to action, and other social copy that align with the brand’s voice
• Schedule and publish approved content across relevant social platforms
• Repurpose existing photo and video assets into additional social content
• Participate in and help coordinate periodic in-person content capture in the Los Angeles area
• Help plan what should be captured so content sessions are efficient and produce useful content that can be repurposed
• Organize social media content and digital assets for easy access and reuse
• Monitor content performance and use insights to improve future content
• Stay aware of relevant social media trends and ident
