Who You Are

Fellow is looking for a Senior Manager, Social Media, Influencers & Content to lead Fellow’s social media presence, content strategy, influencers and community engagement. This role is about more than just posting—it’s about building Fellow into the cultural conversation, amplifying organic moments, and creating content that drives engagement and brand love.

The goal isn’t just reach, impressions, or transactions. It’s to build a brand people want to talk about, share, follow, and be associated with. If you live and breathe digital storytelling, thrive on social trends, and know how to turn culture into content, this is your chance to shape the voice of one of the most beloved brands in specialty coffee.

Reporting to the Director of Integrated Marketing, you’ll serve as the connective tissue between social, content, creators, community, and culture —turning what’s happening in the world into ideas that make Fellow more relevant, talked about, and loved.

You bring a clear point of view, strong creative instincts, and an eye for what’s worth Fellow showing up for. You know when to jump on a cultural moment, when to create one of our own, and how to translate both into content that feels distinctly Fellow. You’ll work closely with our internal creative team, agency partners, creators, and influencers to bring ideas to life quickly and at a high creative bar.

This is a hands-on role . You’ll shape the strategy and build the systems, partnerships, and repeatable formats that grow Fellow’s presence—but you’ll also roll up your sleeves to make things happen.
