Role
Who you are
- The Experience: 4+ years of experience leading multi-platform (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Pinterest, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Substack) social strategies with a focus on high-quality video content and storytelling
- The Eye: A sharp instinct for "what stops a scroll" and a genuine appreciation for fine art, jewelry, and vintage fashion
- The Mindset: A growth-oriented approach. You are energized by testing new ideas and are comfortable being on camera to represent the brand
- The Content Creator: Experienced in video content creation and/or production (and a desire to be on camera!), with a strong point of view on what makes video content perform across platforms
- The Toolkit: Fluency in social ecosystems and a "data-informed" approach to performance. If you haven't used our specific tools (like Dash Hudson or Looker), your ability to listen and learn is what matters most
- The Connection: A flair for succeeding together by collaborating across Creative, Merchandising, and Product teams
What the job involves
- At 1stDibs, we do what’s right for our community by connecting design lovers with the world's most extraordinary objects
- As our Social Media Manager, reporting to our Director of Growth and Brand Marketing, you won’t just manage a grid; you will be a digital curator and content creator, bringing to life the stories of history, craftsmanship, and the cultural zeitgeist
- You’ll join a culture of trust where your creative instincts are valued, and you are empowered to experiment and continually evolve our brand voice
- Creating Compelling Content: Own the content strategy across channels to translate the social media calendar and company priorities into compelling narrative experiences
- Storytelling with Purpose: Partner with our Editorial and Creative teams to surface the voices and passions of our global seller and designer communities
- Cultural Connection: Identify pop culture and design moments to insert 1stDibs into the broader conversation, ensuring we remain the world's design authority
- Creative Experimentation: Deliver results by testing new platforms (TikTok, Substack, Emerging Tech) and formats, scaling what resonates with our audience
- Collaborative Strategy: Work cross-functionally to translate company priorities into a compelling social narrative that drives both engagement and traffic
- Data-Informed Evolution: Use insights to refine our strategy, ensuring every post contributes to our "Work that Matters."
Our take
1stDibs is an eCommerce platform that caters to luxury, high-end, and antique goods, bringing together dealers, makers, and buyers in one online space. By focusing on rare and collectible items, 1stDibs has carved out a niche that sets it apart. With this approach, the platform aims to bridge the traditional barriers of geography and time that typically hinder the luxury goods and collectors market.
Founded in 2001, 1stDibs has cultivated a highly curated environment for its customers. While the platform only has tens of thousands of active users, these users are highly engaged and willing to invest significantly in quality items. In 2020, for example, the average 1stDibs user spent over $%,500, with each order averaging more than $2,500 - proving the site's appeal to serious buyers and collectors looking for rare treasures.
With this success, the company is expanding beyond its online roots, with exciting ventures into offline experiences. A major milestone in this shift is the partnership with The Agency, marking the beginning of a broader strategy to combine digital and physical touchpoints. As the company continues to grow, it will be interesting to see how it bridges its online success with the offline experience.
