We are looking for a creative, strategic, and visual storyteller to take ownership of our brand’s digital presence. This is not just about posting photos; it’s about capturing the energy of our business, driving traffic through strategic promos, and building a community online.

​

You will work directly with the Executive Team to turn our weekly specials, events, and brand goals into engaging campaigns. Note: This role starts as hourly part-time, but for the right candidate who drives results, the goal is to evolve this into a full-time salaried leadership position.

​

WHAT YOU’LL DO | 

  • Content Creation (Video + Photo): Plan, shoot, and edit high-quality content for Instagram (Reels/Stories), TikTok, and Facebook. You must be comfortable behind the camera capturing food, drinks, atmosphere, and events.

  • Social Media Management: Manage the entire content calendar. You will be responsible for writing captions, scheduling posts in advance, and ensuring a consistent posting cadence.

  • Graphic Marketing: Design eye-catching digital and print assets for promotions (e.g., event flyers, social graphics, email headers) using tools like Canva, Photoshop, or Illustrator.

  • Campaign Strategy: Collaborate with the Executive Team to identify upcoming priorities (e.g., "Open House," "Holiday Menu," "New Product Launch") and build a marketing rollout to support them.

  • Community Engagement: Act as the voice of the brand. Monitor DMs, respond to comments, and engage with local influencers/tags to grow our following.

  • Analytics: Track what is working (and what isn’t) and report monthly growth/engagement metrics to the team.

​

WHO YOU ARE |

  • A Content Native: You understand that "social media" now means video. You are proficient in editing Reels/TikToks (CapCut, InShot, or Premiere Rush).

  • Visual Eye: You have a strong sense of aesthetics and can make a simple photo look high-end.

  • Graphic Design Skills: You can whip up a clean, on-brand flyer or story graphic quickly.

  • Organized: You don't post "on the fly." You plan ahead.

  • Local: You are able to be on-site in Boston/Newton/Watertown/Harvard Square weekly to capture content.

​

REQUIREMENTS | 

  • 1–3 years of experience in social media management or content creation.

  • Portfolio of work (Links to TikToks/Reels, photography, or graphic design samples required).

  • Experience with scheduling tools (e.g., Later, Sprout, Meta Business Suite).

COMPENSATION PACKAGE |

  • Pay Rate: $25.00 – $32.00 per hour (Based on experience)

  • Growth Potential: This role is designed with a clear path to evolve into a Full-Time, Salaried position with full benefits (Health/Dental/HSA) for the right candidate who drives results.
