the job: amika is looking for a curious, creative, culturally-fluent Social + Content Strategy Manager to join our growing Social & Community team full-time. This role is for someone who loves the strategy behind great social content as much as the content itself. You'll shape how amika shows up across our channels - turning brand and product moments into social ideas people genuinely want to watch, share, and talk about. salary: $100,000 + bonus location: Brooklyn, NY - 2 days a week onsite (must be based in + have the right to work in the US) what you'll do: Social Strategy (Primary Responsibility) • Partner closely with the Director to build the social strategy behind our campaigns and product launches, from first insight through to channel plan. • Working with the Director, define what each campaign should do on social, what success looks like, and which platforms carry which part of the story. • Set the content pillars and campaign beats that shape our always-on calendar. • Keep our channels feeling like one brand across categories, markets, and moments. Creative & Content Development • Concept social-first ideas — formats, series, and one-offs — that sound like amika and show our products actually working. • Write clear, inspiring briefs for our creative team and creative partners, and stay close through production, review, and approvals. • Bring new formats, platform behaviors, and cultural moments to the team early, with a POV on what we should do about them. Creators & Campaigns • Partner with Influencer Marketing on who we work with for each campaign, what we ask of them, and how their content lives across our channels. • Build creator work into campaigns from the start, so it feels like part of the idea rather than an add-on. • Help bring our stylist community into our storytelling — they're one of the most important voices we have. Mentorship • Work closely with junior members of the team, supporting their development and helping ensure high-quality execution across channels. • Provide regular coaching, feedback, and guidance in partnership with the Director, helping the team strengthen their skills in content development, community management, and platform best practices. • Delegate thoughtfully — giving junior team members real ownership while keeping strategic oversight of the work. • Help foster a collaborative, curious team culture where people feel encouraged to bring ideas forward. Performance & Insight • Look at how content is performing and turn it into a clear point of view on what we should do next. • Own the learnings from each campaign and carry them into the next one. • Share findings in a way that's useful to partners across the business, not just to social. Collaboration • Work closely with the Community Coordinator, who owns day-to-day community management, publishing, and the always-on calendar. • Partner with Brand, Creative, Product Marketing, E-commerce, and Retail so social lands when and where it needs to.

You can read a report, find what matters in it, and make a recommendation. • You have taste, and opinions about beauty and culture you're happy to argue for. • You've mentored or supported junior teammates, and you liked it. • Beauty, haircare, or another category with a passionate community is a strong plus. ready to apply? please click the link below that will bring you to our careers page where you can submit your application + resume (cover letter optional). a member of our team will be in touch soon! amika means friend. we’re a fearless, Brooklyn-born, salon-raised haircare brand + a friend to all hair, hairstylists, the planet + you. we’re rooted in clinical results. each product is infused with our intoxicating scent + powered by our superfruit soul, sea buckthorn. known as one of earth’s most omega-rich plant sources, this potent berry nourishes your skin, scalp + strands. we’re a proud pal to the planet + certified B-Corp. from sustainably sourced ingredients + recyclable packaging to our energy-saving production processes, we pledge to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, waste + energy to reach Net Zero by 2030. having grown up in salons, we know better than anyone how important stylists are—they’re our confidantes + community.
