The posting

We're looking for an experienced, culturally fluent Social Media Strategist who understands how brands build communities, participate in culture, and create content people genuinely care about.

You'll develop and execute social strategies for ambitious consumer brands, manage client relationships directly, and help lead a team of social media managers responsible for bringing those strategies to life.

We're looking for someone who's a strong strategic thinker but equally comfortable getting into the details of content development, community management, creator partnerships, and production.

This isn't a role for someone who only builds strategies and hands them off. We need someone who can develop the thinking, manage the client, guide the team, and make sure the work is as good in execution as it was in the presentation.

About Us

Bakery is an independent creative and culture agency designed to ignite people's obsession in great products. From our headquarters in Austin, TX, we work with highly ambitious brands like Nike, Diageo and Grillo's Pickles to infuse cultural value and drive desire at every interaction point, increasing their fandom and helping them make things people want. Bakery is a 2022, 2024 and 2025 AdAge Small Agency of the Year.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
