Social Media Manager Job at Bluesky

Job Description

We're hiring a part-time contractor to run Bluesky's brand presence across four platforms: Bluesky, X, Threads, and LinkedIn. You'll be the person carrying our voice on social day to day — surfacing trends, intercepting cultural moments, and building a posting practice that reflects how we actually think and talk. This is a 20+ hour per week engagement, reporting to the Head of Communications. We're looking for a true poster—someone who already lives on the social web and understands its rhythms.

Job Responsibility

Own the day-to-day posting cadence across Bluesky, X, Threads, and LinkedIn
Develop content and maintain the content calendar
Post directly to brand accounts within established voice and brand guardrails
Surface trends, conversations, and cultural moments worth weighing in on, and act on them quickly when timing matters
Engage with the community where appropriate
Partner with Communications and App team on launches, campaigns, and embargoed announcements
Track what's working and report back

Requirements

Deep experience managing social for a major brand or comparable accounts (agency, in-house, or independent)
Native fluency on Bluesky, X, Threads, LinkedIn and a real point of view on how each platform actually works
A poster's instincts: quick wit, sharp timing, comfort writing in a brand voice without making it sound like one
Ability to spot a trend early and decide whether it's worth engaging with — or worth letting pass
Strong judgment under time pressure: knows what to post, what to flag, and what to skip
Comfortable working with minimal oversight
Awareness of the news cycle and consciousness of timing around posting. (e.g., we don't want something too flippant after a serious event)
Genuine curiosity about Bluesky and the open social web — this isn't the right role for someone who treats it as just another platform
A keen eye for determining when a post could be a story and the ability to amplify it in the right way for the right audience
A background in communications, marketing or community management is a plus
