Social Content Lead

Job description

We’re building the future of advertising and are looking for the minds to help us do it.

Darkroom is a progressive omnichannel growth marketing agency focused on retail, e-commerce, and consumer businesses. We have been recognized as one of the fastest growing private companies in America by Inc. 5000 (2023), a top 1% digital advertiser by Varos (2023), and our founders were named Forbes 30 Under 30 recipients for Marketing and Advertising North America (2024).

We are hiring a Social Content Lead, a creative and self-driven content operator who understands what it means to build a brand in public. You’ll lead the execution of our social media content engine and manage key channels across the agency and its leadership (Darkroom, Hyper, and the CEO’s personal brand). This role lives at the intersection of marketing strategy, content production, and cultural fluency.

This is not a scheduling job. We’re looking for someone who can shape narratives, create scroll-stopping content, write copy that cuts through and track performance to inform what comes next. You’ll collaborate closely with the Director of Content, Creative Lead, video editors, and designers to bring our voice to life in ways that are smart, sharp, and made for the internet.

This is a fully remote role supporting a team in the EST time zone and is open to candidates based in Portugal, Spain, Mexico and Brazil.

Content Creation

• Write all copy for posts, captions, headlines and newsletters using sharp, on-brand Darkroom language
