 About Carpe
 
 Carpe is the next generation of sweat care. We&rsquo;re reimagining the antiperspirant industry by creating science-backed, effective products that make sweat irrelevant. Founded by two sweaty guys, Carpe has grown into a thriving DTC brand with millions of loyal customers shopping through Amazon and our website. Our culture is fast-paced, data-driven, and deeply customer-obsessed&mdash;and we&rsquo;re just getting started.
 
 Role Overview
 
 We&rsquo;re looking for a creative, fearless, and highly organized Social Media Manager to lead Carpe&rsquo;s organic presence across Instagram and TikTok. You&rsquo;ll be a hands-on content producer and strategist who thrives on jumping into trends, building community, and turning scrolls into superfans.
 
 
 
 
 
 This role is ideal for someone who&rsquo;s just as comfortable filming short-form content as they are managing a content calendar or engaging in comment threads. You&rsquo;ll collaborate across teams (marketing, ecommerce, CX) to ensure a unified and compelling brand presence that supports retention, brand loyalty, and acquisition.
 
 What You&rsquo;ll Do
 
 &middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Support the creative team during ad shoots&mdash;helping with prep, organization, and execution to ensure smooth production
 
 
 &middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Maintain a flexible schedule to accommodate spontaneous opportunities&mdash;such as late-night shoots or last-minute travel (e.g., NYC trips for content capture)
 
 
 &middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Be regularly in front of the camera, contributing to both organic social content and performance ad campaigns alongside the creative team
 
 
 &middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Develop and execute a social media content strategy across Instagram, TikTok, and other emerging platforms
 
 
 &middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Create and edit high-performing organic content&mdash;from daily TikToks to IG Reels, story graphics, memes, and UGC compilations
 
 
 &middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Own the content calendar, balancing product drops, brand moments, and reactive content tied to trends and cultural moments
 
 
 &middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Monitor comments and DMs, escalating customer issues and ensuring Carpe&rsquo;s voice shows up consistently
 
 
 &middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Partner with Customer Experience to translate social feedback into actionable insights and improve retention
 
 
 &middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Collaborate with eCommerce and Marketing to align messaging around promotions, launches, and evergreen campaigns
 
 
 &middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Track key KPIs (engagement, growth, content performance) and optimize based on weekly learnings
 
 Who You Are
 
 &middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2&ndash;4+ years of experience running social for a DTC or CPG brand
 
 
 &middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Strong creator instincts with a bias toward video-first content (TikTok, Reels, Shorts)
 
 
 &middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Able to self-produce short-form video and graphics (using CapCut, InShot, Canva, or similar tools)
 
 
 &middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Comfortable with rapid iteration, creative risk-taking, and wearing many hats
 
 
 &middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Strong communicator with excellent writing and visual storytelling chops
 
 
 &middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Organized and data-literate&mdash;you understand how social ladders up to performance
 
 
 &middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A culture sponge who stays tapped into internet trends and platform updates
 
 Bonus If You Have
 
 &middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Experience working with a CX team to improve sentiment and support responses
 
 
 &middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Familiarity with light paid social boosting
 
 
 &middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A love of testing and iterating based on real-time engagement metrics
 
 
 &middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Experience working in a fast-paced, direct-to-consumer eCommerce environment
 
 What You&rsquo;ll Get
 
 &middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Competitive salary based on experience
 
 
 &middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Health, vision, and dental coverage
 
 
 &middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Flexible PTO
 
 
 &middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A front-row seat to the growth of one of the most disruptive brands in body care
