About Showrunner

Showrunner is a next-generation creative studio building original IP at the intersection of animation, creators, and storytelling. We’re developing and producing new series, characters, and worlds — and building a subscription-based entertainment platform where fans can discover and engage with that IP directly.

As we scale production and release our slate of original storytelling content, we’re expanding our team with a full-time Social Media Manager who can help us grow, shape, and energize our online audience.

The Role

We’re looking for a full-time Social Media Manager who is equally strong in strategy, content creation, and hands-on editing. Your role is to translate Showrunner’s original IP into high-impact social content — growing our fanbase, driving awareness, and converting audiences into subscribers for our platform.

This is a creator-forward role: you’ll design strategies, edit video content for vertical platforms, post daily across channels, and experiment relentlessly to grow our reach. You’ll work closely with the Creative Executive and our internal content creator/editor to turn IP into compelling promotional assets across YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and X.

If you’re the type of person who sees a clip and instantly knows how to turn it into a viral Reel or TikTok, this role is for you.

What You’ll Do

Grow our audience and increase engagement with a data-informed posting cadence
Edit raw IP content into social-ready assets:

Creating feedback loops to pull insights from our most engaged viewers
Track performance and report weekly on KPIs:

Work hands-on with the Creative Executive to align social materials with upcoming releases, campaigns, and brand initiatives
Identify trends, formats, and creative opportunities that help our IP break through

Who You Are

2–4+ years experience managing social media for entertainment, creators, or media brands
Strong video editing skills (Premiere, CapCut, or similar) — this is a must
Expert understanding of YouTube Shorts, Reels, and TikTok growth strategies
