Chicago 42 is Hiring an Social Media Account Manager

Chicago 42 is a boutique Social Media agency supporting service-based businesses. We provide Marketing, Social Media Strategy & Management, and Facebook Ads for clients in a variety of niches.

We are looking for a social media manager to help us manage 3 to 5 accounts and eventually take over client-facing responsibilities.

If you are comfortable writing for different audiences and niches, such as real estate, wellness, or medical aesthetics, read on!

Role & Responsibilities

  • Brainstorm social media ideas

  • Create a content calendar for clients (write captions, create graphics)

  • Hashtag research

  • Communicate with scheduler and graphic designer and keep the flow running

  • proofread/edit captions and assess alignment with graphics

  • Communicate with manager and client for approvals

This role will require you to create and manage social media content for multiple accounts. We aim to work 3-weeks to a month ahead, to allow for review, updates, and approvals. But at times, clients will have last-minute requests or changes, and we are looking for someone who understands the realities of day-to-day business and is available for short-notice requests.

We want to work with you if you possess the following traits and skills:

  • Attention to detail

  • Great writing skills! Good grammar and ability to write in-brand for different accounts

  • Good design sense (and ability to follow established guidelines)

  • A genuine interest in social media, and eagerness to learn

  • Happy to do research & go the extra mile to figure out things and solve problems

  • Someone who is flexible and is not afraid to execute when needed

  • Strong initiative and good communication skills

  • Proactivity: a can-do attitude

  • A sense of humor

  • Loyalty - we want a team player!

  • Can follow directions but also asks questions

  • Great work ethics - deadlines are not guidelines!

  • Creativity

Tech & Systems

  • Airtable (which we can train you on)

  • Google Suite

  • Facebook Creator Suite or other scheduling tools

  • Canva

  • Asana

  • Adobe suite and video editing skills is a plus!

Beyond the required technical skills, what we really value is:

  • Professionalism and a sense of excellent client service

  • Love for learning (or Keen and quick learner)

  • People that are down to earth (and would not call themselves a guru!)

  • Attention to detail and a good eye for design

  • Self-starter and problem solver

We strongly believe that:

  1. It takes time to grasp the voice/style/vibe of clients and any business culture

  2. Feedback is key to progressing and reaching one's top potential

Therefore if you are not able to accept constructive feedback, we might not be a good fit.

What we offer:

This is an excellent opportunity if you’re looking for a meaningful agency experience as well as an opportunity to broaden your social media and account management skills. We will provide the required training.

100% remote work

You’re free to make your own schedule as long as you’re responsive on a daily basis, have some overlap with our team, and can provide weekly/daily updates.

You can decide when and where you do your work as long as it gets done (on time), and it gets done well.

Supportive & fun team

We don’t micro-manage. We trust our people to do good work according to the deadlines set together.

We support each other and we’re all about having a good time while getting high-quality work done.

We do our best to ensure the work environment is as no-stress as possible, always.

Major growth potential

You can grow in “quantity” by taking on more accounts and experience in various niches.

You can learn new skills (Facebook ads or basic graphic design for instance) if that is part of your development plan.

New Business Incentive Plan. We reward you if you bring on net new clients!
