Social Media Manager | Assistant Lead

About YDG WRLD

YDG WRLD SOCIAL is a luxury, culture-forward social media and creative direction agency working with brands, artists, and businesses who care about storytelling, longevity, and real community — not quick trends or cookie-cutter content.

We operate with high standards, clear structure, and long-term vision.

The Role

We’re looking for Assistant Leads — emerging social media managers who are ready to step into leadership, take ownership of client accounts, and grow inside a fast-moving, creative-led agency.

This role is for people who can execute creatively, not just plan. If you can’t edit clean, compelling, on-brand content, this will not be the right fit.

Training & Growth Structure (Please Read Carefully)

• All candidates begin with a 2-week unpaid training period

This phase is designed to:

• Assess commitment, reliability, and execution quality
• Train you in YDG WRLD systems, standards, and workflows
• Ensure mutual alignment before moving forward
• After successful completion of training, you move into a paid entry-level role at $3,000/month
• After full company integration (typically 1–2 months, depending on performance and learning speed), you are promoted to Assistant Lead at $3,500/month

Advancement is performance-based, not time-based.

Responsibilities

• Execute social media strategy across multiple client accounts
• Edit short-form video content (Reels, TikToks) at a high level– clean cuts, strong pacing, captions, rhythm, and storytelling
• Assist with content planning, captions, and creative direction
• Manage posting schedules and content rollouts
• Coordinate deliverables, timelines, and internal communication
• Monitor engagement, comments, DMs, and community interactions
• Track performance and assist with analytics and reporting
• Stay culturally aware while maintaining brand integrity
• Support Lead Managers with execution and account organization

Editing Requirements (Non-Negotiable)

• Strong short-form video editing skills
• Proficiency in tools like CapCut, Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut, or equivalent

Ability to:

• Edit for pacing, tone, and story (not just trends)
• Apply clean captions and text treatments
• Maintain consistent brand aesthetics across accounts
• You must be able to provide editing samples or social accounts showcasing your work

What We’re Looking For

• Prior experience managing and editing content for brands or creators
• Strong understanding of Instagram & TikTok ecosystems
• Clean writing skills and strong brand awareness
• Highly organized, self-directed, and deadline-driven
• Comfortable with Canva, Adobe tools, Google Drive, and Notion
• Strong communication and follow-through
• Takes ownership and pride in execution quality

Bonus (Not Required)

• Agency or fast-paced creative environment experience
• Analytics or reporting experience
• Interest in creative direction or production
• LA-based with flexibility for shoots or meetings

Why YDG WRLD

• Clear growth path with defined expectations
• Real mentorship and hands-on responsibility
• Creative autonomy within structured systems
• Long-term leadership opportunities
• Paid role with advancement based on performance
