Social Media Marketing Strategist

Full-Time | Remote | W-2

At CXA, we do not hire people to simply “make posts.”

We hire strategic thinkers who can translate brand into content, ideas into execution, and marketing into measurable movement.

We’re looking for a full-time Social Media Marketing Strategist to join our team — someone who is creative, sharp, highly organized, and deeply accountable. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, loves both strategy and execution, and wants to play a meaningful role inside a growing agency.

This is a client-facing role. You will not just be creating content — you will be owning accounts, guiding strategy, communicating with clients, analyzing performance, and helping move brands forward.

What You’ll Do

You will manage a portfolio of client accounts and take full ownership of the social media marketing process from start to finish.

This includes:

  • Building monthly social media strategy for multiple client accounts
  • Creating content calendars and planning content in advance
  • Writing captions, hooks, CTAs, and strategic messaging
  • Creating or directing reels, carousels, story sets, and other social assets
  • Reviewing content for brand alignment, clarity, and performance potential
  • Pulling analytics and turning data into recommendations
  • Preparing monthly status updates and leading strategy calls with clients
  • Managing ongoing communication with clients via Slack and other channels
  • Responding to last-minute requests and shifting priorities with professionalism
  • Collaborating with internal team members while still operating independently
  • Thinking proactively about what is working, what is not, and what needs to change

What Success Looks Like in This Role

Success in this role is not just about staying on top of your to-do list.

It looks like:

  • Creating content that is on-brand, strategic, and well-executed
  • Understanding why content performs — and why it doesn’t
  • Owning your client accounts with confidence and accountability
  • Leading client communication with clarity and professionalism
  • Staying calm and solution-oriented in a fast-moving environment
  • Managing deadlines, shifting priorities, and creative demands without dropping the ball
  • Receiving feedback well and applying it quickly
  • Contributing positively to the team and helping elevate the agency as a whole

Who You Are

You are someone who:

  • Thinks strategically, not just creatively
  • Can balance brand-building with business goals
  • Understands social media is more than aesthetics
  • Is highly organized and plans ahead
  • Is comfortable managing multiple projects and clients at once
  • Can pivot quickly when priorities shift
  • Is resourceful and knows how to problem-solve before asking to be rescued
  • Is coachable, collaborative, and confident
  • Can communicate well with both clients and team members
  • Has a strong sense of ownership and follows through
  • Wants to grow inside a company and be part of something bigger than yourself

You’ll Likely Thrive Here If You…

  • Enjoy both strategy and hands-on execution
  • Want to work across multiple brands and industries
  • Like variety in your work and get bored doing the same thing every day
  • Can handle a startup-style environment where not everything is perfectly built out
  • Are energized by growth, momentum, and high standards
  • Can manage overwhelm well and reset quickly when things get busy
  • Appreciate autonomy, but still value team collaboration

This Role Is Not the Best Fit If You…

  • Need constant direction or hand-holding
  • Prefer highly rigid corporate structure
  • Struggle to prioritize when multiple things are due at once
  • Get easily flustered by feedback or shifting timelines
  • Only enjoy content creation but not analytics, strategy, or client communication
  • Want a role where you can stay in your lane and not think beyond assigned tasks

Experience We’re Looking For

We’re open to different backgrounds, but strong candidates will likely have experience in some combination of:

  • Social media strategy
  • Content planning and execution
  • Copywriting
  • Analytics and reporting
  • Client communication
  • Creative direction
  • Video editing and/or graphic design
  • Agency, freelance, in-house, or brand-side marketing
  • Experience with tools like Canva, Meta Business Suite, Rella, ClickUp, Google Drive, and AI tools is helpful.

Compensation + Benefits

  • Salary range: $55,000–$60,000
  • Full-time W-2 position
  • Wellness stipend
  • PTO
  • Paid company shutdown between Christmas and New Year’s
  • Federal holidays
  • 401(k) option with company match

Our Environment

CXA is a fast-moving, high-accountability, startup-style agency environment.

That means:

  • No two weeks look exactly the same

  • Some systems are built out, and some are still evolving

  • We care deeply about quality, communication, and results

  • We are flexible, but not lax

  • We move quickly, collaborate often, and expect people to take ownership

  • This role is best for someone who can think, decide, create, communicate, and adapt.

  • If you’re looking for a role where you can grow quickly, be challenged meaningfully, and do work that actually matters, this is a great fit.
