Role
Who you are
- This is a hands-on role for someone who loves creating, posting, and engaging daily — not just coming up with ideas, but bringing them to life consistently across platforms
- Platform-native content creator across Instagram, YouTube Shorts, and X (Twitter) with proven results in engagement and audience growth
- Deep knowledge holder of Instagram growth tactics and short-form video trends, with the ability to adapt quickly to what's working
- Strong storytelling instincts that capture Nathan's voice and translate ideas into scroll-stopping content
- Creative self-starter who generates ideas and brings them to life quickly with minimal direction
- Proficient in lightweight editing and design tools (CapCut, Canva, Figma, Premiere, or similar)
- Excellent creative judgment and awareness of cultural and social trends that shape online conversation
- Comfortable engaging directly with audiences—replying to comments, joining conversations, and building community authentically
- Organized and reliable in managing a consistent, high-quality content cadence across multiple platforms
- 2–4 years managing social media for a personal brand, creator, or thought leader, with proven growth in audience and engagement
- Experience creating and publishing content across multiple social platforms (especially Instagram, YouTube, and X)
- Strong understanding of personal branding—how to shape a consistent voice, narrative, and visual identity across channels
- Demonstrated success growing a personal or creator-focused account with measurable before-and-after results
- Deep familiarity with the creator economy and the types of content that resonate with entrepreneurs, authors, and educators
- Highly collaborative, with experience working closely with founders, creators, or executives to turn ideas into polished, engaging content
- Deeply immersed in the creator world, staying current on trends, platforms, and what's resonating with audiences
- Creative thinker who grounds decisions in data and performance insights
- Proactive and fast-moving, with a bias toward action and experimentation
- Constantly experimenting, learning from results, and refining approach based on what works
- Low ego and high ownership—willing to adapt, pivot, and take full responsibility for outcomes
- Comfortable giving direct feedback and receiving it openly to improve work and collaboration
- Both collaborative and highly self-directed—takes initiative, brings fresh ideas, and turns them into reality without waiting for instruction
- We value diversity in all of its forms. Research tells us that applicants who are female or non-binary, as well as applicants who are people of color, are less likely to apply for roles they do not feel 100% qualified for. If you think you meet more than 50% of our requirements but fewer than 100% of them, please apply
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Social Media Manager (Hourly Contract Position, 30 to 40 hours per week) to create and post compelling content, and engage with the community across our CEO and Founder, Nathan Barry’s, social media channels
- You’ll shape a cohesive cross-platform strategy, with your main focus on building a highly engaged audience on Instagram and identifying low-lift ways to stay active on YouTube Shorts and X
- While this role is focused on Nathan and his content, it’s deeply connected to the mission and values of Kit
- This role is perfect for a social-native creator who’s built their own business or personal brand — or helped someone else do it — through social media, and understands the challenges and opportunities of growing an audience online
- You’ll report to Chelsea Hahn (Head of Operations for the CEO), and collaborate closely with the Head of Marketing for the CEO
- You’ll also partner with Kit’s social media team to strategize how to best leverage Nathan’s personal brand to help grow Kit
- First Week: Immerse yourself in Nathan’s existing content and platforms (YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram, X) to understand his tone, audience, and creative style. Review past posts, videos, and engagement data to see what resonates most. Join onboarding conversations with Nathan and the CEO Operations team to align on goals, expectations, and content priorities. Get access to social media tools, brand assets, and the systems that support Nathan’s content workflow
- First Month: Deliver a full social media audit that includes insights on platform performance, audience trends, and content opportunities. Develop a strategy for consistent, high-impact storytelling across Nathan’s channels. Present a 90-day content plan focused on reach, engagement, and follower growth, with clear metrics for success
- First Six Months: Establish Nathan as one of the most trusted and engaging voices in the creator economy. Build strong, consistent momentum across his channels through thoughtful content and timely insights. Drive measurable growth in reach, engagement, and audience quality. Collaborate with the Kit team as needed to ensure alignment between Nathan’s personal storytelling and Kit’s broader mission. Launch at least one standout campaign or content series that meaningfully expands Nathan’s audience
- First Year: Help make Nathan’s personal brand one of the most influential and recognizable in the creator economy. Your work will turn his ideas and experiences into a steady stream of content that educates, inspires, and motivates creators. By the end of the year, Nathan’s channels should show sustained growth in followers and engagement — and his content should be recognized as a leading voice for creators building real businesses online

Our take
Kit, formerly ConvertiKit was founded in 2013 to help online creators and bloggers make money through email marketing. The company has amassed more than 550,000 creators that reach 590+ million fans.
Following a boost to email marketing engagement rates, Kit’s strong existing network put it in a good position to take advantage of it. Add to that the increasing shift towards eCommerce, and the company’s offering is increasingly looking like a smart solution for content creators looking to monetize.
Kit’s acquisition of musician marketing platform FanBridge sees the platform scooping up musicians looking to explore alternative revenue streams online following the pandemic throttling of tours and live gigs. With plans to add Spotify and BandsInTown integrations, as well as ‘tip jars’, this is an interesting direction to see the email marketing company expand into.
