Help Bring a Growing, People-First Brand to Life!

We're looking for a creative, energetic, and hands-on Social Media Manager to help tell the story of a growing regional grocery company!

Our company is built on a simple belief: Great people build great businesses. We take pride in our team members, the communities we serve, and the relationships we create with customers every day.

As we continue to grow, we're looking for someone who can capture that spirit and bring it to life through engaging content, authentic storytelling, and a strong social media presence.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who loves both the creative and strategic sides of social media. You'll have the opportunity to shape our social media direction while getting hands-on with photography, video, reels, and content that showcases what makes our company special.

We're looking for someone who brings fresh ideas, creative energy, and a genuine passion for connecting with people.

What You'll Be Doing

Own Our Social Media Strategy

Develop and execute creative social media strategies that build brand awareness, increase engagement, and strengthen customer loyalty.
Take ownership of our social media presence across platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and other relevant channels.
Create and manage content calendars that support company initiatives, seasonal campaigns, store events, and community engagement.
Identify opportunities to grow our audience, strengthen our brand identity, and connect with customers in meaningful ways.
Stay ahead of emerging trends and bring fresh ideas that keep our content relevant, engaging, and exciting.

Create Content That Brings Our Brand to Life

Get hands-on with photography, video production, reels, graphics, and compelling written content.
Visit stores, connect with employees, and capture authentic moments that tell our company's story.
Showcase our people, products, store experiences, community involvement, and company culture.
Create engaging content that reflects our personality and makes people stop scrolling.
Take ideas from concept to execution, including planning, shooting, editing, publishing, and measuring results.

Celebrate Our People & Communities

Help tell the stories of the people who make our company successful.
Highlight employee accomplishments, team milestones, community partnerships, and local events.
Build genuine connections with our online audience through thoughtful engagement and interaction.
Partner with store leadership and other departments to identify great stories and content opportunities.
Help position our company as both a great place to shop and a great place to work.

Measure Results & Keep Improving

Monitor social media performance, audience growth, engagement, and campaign effectiveness.
Use analytics and insights to refine content strategies and improve results.
Identify new opportunities to expand our reach and increase brand visibility.
Monitor industry trends, competitor activity, and emerging social media opportunities.
Bring a balance of creativity and business-minded thinking to everything you do.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for a creative storyteller who knows how to connect with people and understands that great social media is about more than just posting content.

Our ideal candidate will have:

3+ years of experience in social media management, digital marketing, or content creation.
Experience developing and executing successful social media strategies.
Strong hands-on skills in photography, video creation, editing, and short-form content production.
A proven ability to create engaging content and grow social media audiences.
Excellent writing, storytelling, and communication skills.
Experience with creative tools such as Canva, Adobe Creative Suite, Photoshop, Illustrator, or similar platforms.
Knowledge of social media analytics, engagement metrics, and platform best practices.
Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines.
A creative mindset, positive attitude, and willingness to experiment with new ideas.
The ability to collaborate with employees and leadership across multiple store locations.
A genuine appreciation for people, teamwork, and company culture.

A bachelor's degree in marketing, communications, or a related field is preferred. However, we value demonstrated creativity, relevant experience, and proven results.

What Will Make You Successful Here

You're a storyteller. You recognize that some of the best content comes from real people, authentic experiences, and everyday moments.

You're creative and curious. You're constantly thinking about new ideas, emerging trends, and ways to make content more engaging.

You're hands-on. You're just as comfortable behind a camera capturing content as you are developing a social media strategy.

You're strategic. You understand how to connect creativity with measurable results and business objectives.

You're people-oriented. You enjoy building relationships, collaborating with others, and celebrating the people who make a company successful.

You take ownership. You're motivated by the opportunity to build something, contribute ideas, and make a visible impact.

Why Join Us?

Because people matter, culture matters, and your ideas will matter here.

We're a growing regional grocery company with a strong foundation, a people-first philosophy, and an exciting future.

We believe our greatest strength is our team, and we're passionate about creating an environment where employees feel valued, supported, and proud of what we're building together.

This is an opportunity to:

Join a growing organization with momentum and long-term opportunity.
Take ownership of the social media presence of an established regional brand.
Have the creative freedom to introduce fresh ideas and help shape our brand's future.
Work with a collaborative team that values people, relationships, and a positive culture.
