Run Amplify Jobs (NOW HIRING)

The Social Media Growth Lead owns barre3's organic social growth end to end - creating the content, growing the audience, cultivating creator and community partnerships, and turning social reach into brand affinity, subscribers, and members. This is a builder's role: you conceive and produce native social content, activate creators and members to extend that reach, test relentlessly, and grow our channels as a measurable acquisition and retention engine - not a content calendar to be filled.

You live where culture and the barre3 brand meet. You know how to capture attention without resorting to chaotic trend-chasing or punitive fitness tropes. You make the video, write the hook, line up the right creator, and know within a day whether it worked - then do more of what does. Working in close partnership with the brand creative team to stay on-brand, you are the creative force and the growth owner behind barre3's social presence.

* Primary residence must be in the greater Portland area

Content Creation

• Conceive, shoot, and edit native short-form video (Reels, TikToks, Stories) built specifically for platform mechanics rather than repurposed marketing collateral.
• Own content creation from hook to publish: scripting, filming, editing, and caption writing, maintaining a high velocity of testing and iteration.
• Partner with Brand Creative to maintain visual standards while producing at social speed, adhering to non-punitive language and grounded visual aesthetics.
• Capture real, authentic content across studios, HQ events, instructors, and members.

Audience Growth

• Own follower and audience growth across Instagram, TikTok, and emerging platforms as the primary mandate of the role.
• Develop and execute the organic growth strategy: content pillars, posting cadence, format bets, and platform-specific tactics.
• Build and run a continuous testing loop - hooks, formats, hashtags, posting times - and reallocate effort toward what drives reach and follows.

Growth-to-Pipeline

• Connect social growth to business outcomes - trial starts, subscriber sign-ups, and studio interest - partnering with the performance marketing team to measure social's contribution to acquisition and retention.
• Design and run organic-to-conversion plays (link-in-bio strategy, campaign tie-ins, sale moments like the Semi-Annual Sale) that turn audience into members.
• Surface high-performing organic and creator content as fuel for paid amplification.

Trend & Culture Fluency

• Stay ahead of platform shifts, formats, and cultural moments; move fast to participate where barre3 authentically fits.
• Monitor conversation and sentiment, feeding insight back to creative, lifecycle, and brand.
• Maintain light-touch community engagement to sustain momentum, routing formal support questions to the customer service function (this role grows and engages the audience; it does not run the support queue).

Creator, Influencer & UGC Partnerships

• Own barre3's influencer and creator program end to end - sourcing, vetting, and building relationships with creators, ambassadors, and micro-influencers aligned to the brand and audience.
• Brief, coordinate, and manage partnerships: creative direction, deliverables, timelines, usage rights, and (with the relevant partners) contracting and compensation.
• Build and run a UGC engine - solicit, curate, and amplify content from members and the community, securing rights and turning authentic customer content into a repeatable social and campaign asset.
• Activate creator and UGC partnerships around key moments (product launches, the Semi-Annual Sale, seasonal campaigns) and coordinate with studios/franchise where local creators or member stories are involved.
• Track partnership performance - reach, engagement, cost per result, and downstream conversion - and reinvest in what works.

Reporting & Optimization

• Own the social growth dashboard: audience growth, reach, engagement, save/share rates, creator/UGC performance, and downstream conversion.
• Report performance and learnings on a regular cadence and translate them into the next content bets.

KPIs

• Audience Growth: Net follower growth and reach across channels - the primary measure of the role.
• Content Performance: Views, watch-through, saves, and shares on created content, with a focus on what drives new-audience reach.
• Creator & UGC Impact: Reach, engagement, and cost-per-result from influencer/creator partnerships and volume of usable UGC generated.
• Growth-to-Conversion: Social's measurable contribution to trial starts and subscriber/member sign-ups.
• Output & Velocity: Consistent volume of original, platform-native content shipped.
• Sentiment / Share of Voice: Brand conversation trend over time.

Requirements

• Core Value Alignment: Must embody the barre3 values - Practice Authenticity, Stronger Together, Love of Learning, Give Generously, and Make It Happen.
• 3+ years creating social content and growing brand channels, ideally in fitness, wellness, lifestyle, or a creator-driven consumer brand - with a demonstrable track record of audience growth.
• Experience running influencer, creator, or UGC programs - sourcing partners, briefing creative, and managing the relationship end to end.
• Hands-on content creation skills: shooting and editing short-form video (native tools, CapCut, Adobe, or equivalent), writing scroll-stopping hooks and captions.
• Fluency in TikTok and Instagram growth mechanics; comfortable reading analytics and running a test-and-learn loop.
• A portfolio or reel of content you personally created and grew.

• Creator Instinct: You make content people stop for - and you know how to spot others who can too.
• Relationship Builder: Can source, brief, and manage creator and influencer partnerships that feel authentic, not transactional.
• Growth Mindset: You treat channels as something to grow, not maintain - hypothesis, test, measure, iterate.
• Speed & Volume: Comfortable shipping fast and often; you'd rather post ten and learn than perfect one.
• Brand Judgment: Can stay authentically on-brand while producing at social pace.
• Commercial Sense: You see the line from a Reel to a trial start and optimize toward it.
• Self-Direction: Owns the channel and the growth number without hand-holding.
