the job:

amika is looking for a curious, creative, culturally-fluent Social + Content Strategy Manager to join our growing Social & Community team full-time. This role is for someone who loves the strategy behind great social content as much as the content itself. You'll shape how amika shows up across our channels - turning brand and product moments into social ideas people genuinely want to watch, share, and talk about.

salary: $100,000 + bonus

location: Brooklyn, NY - 2 days a week onsite (must be based in + have the right to work in the US)

what you'll do:

Social Strategy (Primary Responsibility)

• Partner closely with the Director to build the social strategy behind our campaigns and product launches, from first insight through to channel plan.
• Working with the Director, define what each campaign should do on social, what success looks like, and which platforms carry which part of the story.
• Set the content pillars and campaign beats that shape our always-on calendar.
• Keep our channels feeling like one brand across categories, markets, and moments.

Creative & Content Development

• Concept social-first ideas — formats, series, and one-offs — that sound like amika and show our products actually working.
• Write clear, inspiring briefs for our creative team and creative partners, and stay close through production, review, and approvals.
• Bring new formats, platform behaviors, and cultural moments to the team early, with a POV on what we should do about them.

Creators & Campaigns

• Partner with Influencer Marketing on who we work with for each campaign, what we ask of them, and how their content lives across our channels.
• Build creator work into campaigns from the start, so it feels like part of the idea rather than an add-on.
• Help bring our stylist community into our storytelling — they're one of the most important voices we have.

Mentorship

• Work closely with junior members of the team, supporting their development and helping ensure high-quality execution across channels.
• Provide regular coaching, feedback, and guidance in partnership with the Director, helping the team strengthen their skills in content development, community management, and platform best practices.
• Delegate thoughtfully — giving junior team members real ownership while keeping strategic oversight of the work.
• Help foster a collaborative, curious team culture where people feel encouraged to bring ideas forward.

Performance & Insight

• Look at how content is performing and turn it into a clear point of view on what we should do next.
• Own the learnings from each campaign and carry them into the next one.
• Share findings in a way that's useful to partners across the business, not just to social.

Collaboration

• Work closely with the Community Coordinator, who owns day-to-day community management, publishing, and the always-on calendar.
• Partner with Brand, Creative, Product Marketing, E-commerce, and Retail so social lands when and where it needs to.

Growth Opportunities (First 12–18 Months)

As the role develops, the Social + Content Strategy Manager may:

• Take the lead on a campaign execution end to end
• Shape our approach to an emerging platform or format
• Deepen ownership of the creator roster and how we work with our stylist community.
• Help define how we plan, brief, and measure social across the wider organization.

must haves:

• 5–7 years in social media or content, including real ownership of strategy for campaigns and launches.
• You've concepted work, and can point to ideas of yours that communities have shared.
• You know TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts well enough to know how differently each one behaves.
• You've worked with creators, and you know what makes those partnerships good — and what makes them fall apart.
• Comfortable with data. You can read a report, find what matters in it, and make a recommendation.
• You have taste, and opinions about beauty and culture you're happy to argue for.
• You've mentored or supported junior teammates, and you liked it.
• Beauty, haircare, or another category with a passionate community is a strong plus.
