What you will be doing: 

Illumia is seeking a strategic, hands-on Social Media Manager to own our organic social media presence, our employee advocacy program, and the strategy for expanding our reach to new platforms. This role manages the enterprise social media calendar — coordinating content contributed by Growth Marketing, Events, Brand, Product Marketing, and Engagement teams alongside original brand content built to drive awareness and follower growth — and owns the Sprout Social advocacy program end-to-end, from content submission through results reporting. The ideal candidate is a self-driven mover and shaker — genuinely passionate about social media, who takes ownership of the role and proactively finds ways to grow it, rather than waiting to be told what to do next.

What is good to know:

This role is based out of Illumia's Alpharetta, GA, Scottsdale, AZ, or Ithaca, NY offices, with remote candidates also considered. Occasional travel may be required for team meetings, events, or content shoots.

Competencies and Behaviors

• Self-driven and passionate about social media and content — takes ownership, moves quickly, and looks for ways to grow the role rather than waiting to be directed.

 Our leaders are Humble, Hungry, and Smart:

• Humble: The right leaders for Illumia don't need to own the spotlight — they share credit, define success collectively, and are quick to elevate the contributions of others. This is a company that still writes its story. The leaders who thrive here find energy in building something together, not in being recognized as the smartest person in the room.
• Hungry: We are not looking for caretakers. We are looking for leaders who are restless about what's possible, self-motivated to close the gap between where we are today and where we need to be, and who are already thinking about the next opportunity before anyone asks.
• Smart: At Illumia, our leaders must operate across a complex, distributed organization spanning multiple product lines, two legacy cultures, and thousands of customers with competing priorities. Technical skills matter, but the ability to read a room, build trust across functions, and bring people along is what separates a great leader from one who burns the organization out.

This position is classified as Exempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and applicable state wage-and-hour laws.

What you get when you join our team:

• Flexible time off to include paid holidays and volunteer time.
• Robust health, dental, and vision insurance plans on your first day of employment
