Social Media Manager

Modish Creative Co. is a Detroit-based, full-service creative agency specializing in branding, graphic design, web design, and social media management. We work with a mix of restaurants, nonprofits, and growing businesses, helping brands find their voice and show up consistently across digital and print.

We’re looking for a social media manager who can juggle multiple brands, create content that actually feels different from client to client, and keep things moving without needing a play-by-play.

Someone who understands that posting consistently is great, but having a strategy behind it is better.

More importantly, we want someone who can jump into the team and take ownership of their work.

Why This Role Exists

We manage social media for a range of clients across different industries. Each has its own voice, audience, goals, and personality. Our job is to make sure their content reflects that, looks good, and actually serves a purpose. That means strategy matters. Content matters. And yes, the details matter, too.

What You’ll Actually Do

Manage social media accounts across Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.
Build monthly content calendars that connect creative ideas to actual client goals
Plan and participate in content shoots, from shot lists to creative direction
Collaborate with our copywriter and graphic designer to bring content calendars to life
Manage our video editing contractor, including art direction, deadlines, feedback, and final deliverables
Schedule and publish content, keeping everything organized and on track
Review quarterly analytics and use the numbers to make smarter decisions
Keep up with platform changes and trends without chasing every trend that comes along
Keep projects moving by communicating with clients, gathering information, and flagging roadblocks before they become problems
Ensure content stays aligned with each client's brand, strategy, and goals
Collaborate with the team to identify opportunities, improve workflows, and make the work stronger

What You’re Like

You can think strategically and execute. We need both.
You know the difference between posting content and building a content strategy
You can switch between brands without giving everyone the same personality
You understand how to work with copywriters and designers to bring a creative vision to life
You’re organized enough to manage multiple clients without dropping the ball
You take initiative
You can look at analytics and understand what they mean beyond the numbers on a screen
You’re comfortable directing creative work and giving clear feedback to contractors
You know your way around social platforms and scheduling tools
You can capture photo and video content, especially short-form video
You communicate clearly, meet deadlines, and don't wait until something is overdue to mention there's a problem

You’ll Love This Role If…

You like variety and get bored doing the same thing every day
You enjoy working across different brands, industries, and creative styles
You like having a hand in the whole process, from the initial idea to the final post
You enjoy brainstorming with a team and making good ideas even better
You like a mix of creative freedom and having a solid plan
You take pride in making things work better, not just getting them done

What This Is Not

No posting just to fill a calendar
No treating every client like they have the same audience or goals
No waiting around for someone to tell you what needs to happen next
No throwing content together at the last minute because nobody planned ahead
No managing contractors without giving them direction
No pretending a report full of numbers is the same thing as a strategy

What We’re Looking For

2+ years of social media management experience
Experience managing multiple brands or client accounts
Strong content planning and organizational skills
Experience with social media scheduling and analytics tools
Experience managing contractors or creative workflows is a plus
Photo and video production experience is a plus
Agency experience is a plus, but being resourceful, organized, and good at what you do matters more

Why This Is Fun

You’ll work across a mix of brands that keeps things interesting
You’ll have room to bring ideas to the table and make things better
You’ll work alongside a creative team that cares about the work
You’ll be trusted to own your role and manage your responsibilities
We take the work seriously, not ourselves
