Backbone Media Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Position: Producer & Project Manager, Social Media Content

Location: Boca Raton, Florida (Onsite and Hybrid)

About Us:

4ocean is on a mission to end the ocean plastic crisis and we are looking for passionate, talented people to help us achieve this goal. We are more than just a brand/company/employer. We are a global movement committed to making a tangible difference in the health of our planet by removing plastic waste from the ocean and coastlines. We also advocate for sustainable change. If you are driven by purpose, motivated to contribute to a cause that truly matters, and eager to make a lasting impact on the environment, we want you on our team.

About the Role

4ocean moves fast. We produce social media content across brand, partnerships, e-commerce, and foundation -and we need someone who makes sure none of it falls through the cracks. This is an operations and coordination role, not a content creation role. You're the person who shows up to the shoot with the shot list, makes sure the right gear is in the truck, and ensures every piece of content that comes out of that shoot ends up in the right hands, on the right platform, at the right time. You'll sit at the center of our content team -managing production flow, trafficking creative requests, coordinating with partners, and keeping the calendar tight.

What You'll Own

Social Media Content Production Coordination

• Oversee and manage a team of internal and external social media content creators, ensuring all social content aligns with the original creative brief and objectives provided by the Product, Partnerships, and Brand verticals.
• Responsible for assigning briefs, managing deliverables and timelines, providing creative feedback, maintaining quality control, and holding creators accountable to ensure final content meets brand standards and intended goals.
• Be present on shoots and productions to ensure shot lists are followed and business needs are captured
• Brief creators and editors with clear direction: what's needed, why it matters, where it's going
• Translate partner and product requirements into actionable social content direction
• Keep a close pulse on what's in production, what's in review, and what's ready to publish

Traffic Management

• Own the intake and routing of all creative requests
• Match social media content needs to the right creator or editor based on skill set and bandwidth
• Manage timelines, priorities, and handoffs across the team
• Prevent bottlenecks and keep output moving

Social Media Content Calendar & Distribution

• Manage the master social media content calendar across brand, partnerships, e-commerce, and foundation
• Ensure all content gets created and actually used; distributed to internal and external partners as needed
• Maintain organized social content libraries and assets

B2B Partner Coordination

• Work with the account management team to understand B2B partnership deliverables and deadlines
• Ensure partnership content requirements are clearly communicated to creators
• Join partnership calls when needed to align on direction and expectations

It’s also important that all 4ocean crew members naturally live and embrace our core values:

• Ocean first
• Get Shit Done!
• Accelerate time
• We’re in this together
• Nudge don’t judge
• Stay stoked
• Think bigger!

Growth Opportunity

This role will report directly to Alex Schulze (CEO) and play a key part in building 4ocean’s social media content engine. There is strong opportunity for growth as the team expands, including the potential to take on a larger leadership role within the social and content organization over time.

Final Note

If you’re looking to just “manage social media strategy or content” this is not that role. This role is for someone who thrives in structure, speed, and execution. If you love directing teams, organizing chaos and making sure things actually get done, you’ll do well here.

Required:

• Minimum 5+ years of experience working within and around various types of social media content, ideally within an agency environment managing a variety of client social media strategies and deliverables
• Obsessive about organization and never drop a ball
• Able to communicate clearly and confidently with creators, editors, and external partners
• Thrive in a fast-moving environment where priorities shift
• Have experience in social media content production, project management and/or creative operations
• Know how to read a room on set and keep production on track
• Are comfortable in both a spreadsheet and a production environment

Nice to Haves:

• Experience with project management tools (Asana, Monday, Notion, or similar)
• Background in media, agency, or in-house social media content teams

Why 4ocean?

• Build the operational backbone of the ocean-cleanup infrastructure that brands around the world will plug into

Love why you do it:
