The Social Lights is a crew of creative strategists, data nerds, and social trend experts who live and breathe at the intersection of social media and culture. We are devoted to decoding culture to activate social fandoms for our brands. We Power Brighter Futures with meaningful connections, backed by the sharpest insights in the game. With a track record for social innovation and measurable results, we are a true marketing partner to our clients – whether they’re household names or rising stars.
Our Community Managers are obsessed with their brands and the people behind the screens. They naturally notice comment trends before anyone else. If you’re someone who knows when a conversation is gaining momentum and when a moment needs a brand response, this is a perfect role for you. Our Community Managers genuinely enjoy spending time on social platforms and understand that community management is more than just customer service, it's relationship building at scale.
This role sits at the center of brand conversation. You'll monitor, engage, moderate, escalate, identify opportunities, uncover audience insights, and help shape how brands show up in the moments that matter.
You'll spend your days talking with audiences, identifying emerging themes, finding hidden opportunities, flagging risks, and helping brands become active participants in their communities rather than passive publishers.
If your idea of a great day includes finding a comment thread worth jumping into, spotting a cultural moment before it breaks, and turning audience conversations into actionable insights, we'd love to meet you.
This is a full-time, hourly position scheduled for 40 hours per week. Community Managers are assigned to dedicated brand communities and serve as the front-line voice of those brands across social media platforms. Because social conversations don't stop at 5 p.m., this role includes a combination of weekday, evening, and occasional weekend coverage through a structured scheduling model.
