  • Manage the flow of content from outside content creators, including influencers, ambassadors, pro-staff, event partners, and other external contributors. This includes reviewing incoming content, identifying useable assets, coordinating usage needs, organizing files, requesting additional materials when needed, and helping turn creator supplied content into brand appropriate social posts.
  • Write captions, hooks, post copy, community responses that reflect Yamaha Outboards’ brand voice and quality standards.
  • Increase the quality, consistency, and volume of social content while maintaining accuracy, brand alignment, and approval discipline.
  • Monitor collaborations, comments, messages, tags, and engagement opportunities, responding in a brand appropriate voice and escalating sensitive issues when needed.
  • Use analytics and performance results to understand what is working, identify opportunities for improvement, and recommend practical monthly adjustments to content, cadence, and channel strategy.
  • Stay current on social platform trends, competitor activity, audience behavior, content formats, and relevant boating, fishing, outdoor, and marine lifestyle.
  • Support Yamaha Outboards marketing initiatives, including product launches, Yamaha Presents films, events, creator partnerships, content capture opportunities, and other brand storytelling efforts as needed.

What You Need To Be Successful:

  • BA/BS degree in Marketing, Marketing Communications, related fields or equivalent combination of education and work experience.
  • 3-5+ years of hands-on social media or digital marketing experience, preferably with responsibility for content calendars, organic social publishing, copywriting, platform management, and content coordination.
