Media Manager Jobs in Oneonta, AL (NOW HIRING)

About the role
The Social Media Manager is the creative and strategic force behind Big Com's day-to-day presence across social platforms. This mid-level role blends content creation, community engagement, and platform strategy to grow audiences and drive measurable results for our clients. The ideal candidate lives on social media, has a sharp eye for what stops the scroll, and can translate a client's brand voice into content that performs.
Acting as both creator and strategist, the Social Media Manager plans and produces native social content - video, graphics, and short-form copy - manages posting calendars and community engagement and uses performance data to continually sharpen what we post and how we post it. While the role occasionally supports longer-form materials like blog posts or newsletters, social content creation is the primary focus.
