Role Overview

We’re looking for a Social Media Manager to grow and evolve our B2B social presence, expanding beyond LinkedIn to include other platforms such as YouTube and X, with a strong focus on organic reach, follower growth rate, and driving referral traffic.

This role is responsible for turning our content, thought leadership, and brand POV into consistent, platform-native social experiences that build credibility, spark conversation, and grow our audience over time. You’ll also own organic influencer partnerships, community management, and employee advocacy, helping extend our reach through trusted voices and active engagement.

This is a hands-on role for someone who understands how B2B audiences actually use social — and how to grow influence and an engaged audience without relying on paid spend.

  • Partner with the Content team to extend the reach of blogs, webinars, podcasts, videos, and thought leadership

  • Repurpose long-form content into concise, high-impact social assets

  • Identify and build relationships with relevant B2B influencers, creators, analysts, and practitioners

  • Coordinate organic influencer participation in content, campaigns, and events

  • Track influencer impact based on reach, engagement, and audience relevance

Community Management

  • Actively monitor and engage with comments, mentions, DMs, and industry conversations

  • Foster meaningful interaction with customers, prospects, partners, and peers

  • Escalate insights, feedback, and emerging themes to internal teams

  • Help shape an authentic, credible brand presence through consistent engagement

Employee Advocacy and Thought Leadership

  • Partner with thought leaders to create posts aligned with brand voice

  • Activate employees with social content around key campaigns, moments, and narratives

  • Create and curate share-ready content that empowers employees to authentically amplify company stories

  • Develop scalable processes, prioritizing key moments for thought leader and employee activation

Measurement & Optimization

  • Track and report on organic performance metrics including reach, follower growth, engagement rate, video views, and clicks

  • Analyze which topics, formats, and voices resonate most with B2B audiences

  • Share insights and recommendations to continuously improve performance

What You Bring

  • 3–6 years of experience managing organic social media for a B2B brand (SaaS or technology preferred)

  • Proven ability to grow followers and engagement organically

  • Hands-on experience with LinkedIn, YouTube, and X in a professional or industry context

  • Experience working with influencers, creators, or external industry voices

  • Strong copywriting skills and a sharp understanding of B2B tone and credibility

  • Comfort balancing creativity with performance data

  • Experience supporting thought leadership or executive social presence

  • Familiarity with social analytics and scheduling tools

  • Experience promoting webinars, podcasts, or video series organically

  • Understanding of how social supports longer B2B buying cycle

Location

Payscale has an employee centric remote-first model that provides you the flexibility to do your best work in a space that supports you, while also finding time to collaborate in person for the moments that matter.

In our remote-first model, employees can work from the location that works best for them. We do not have centralized corporate offices. Employees can choose to work from home, in company-paid co-working spaces, or any combination of the two that best suits their unique needs.

When it matters (usually no more than a few times a year) we take the time to gather for in-person events.

Payscale has employees across the US, Canada, UK, The Philippines and Romania however we are currently unable to hire in the Quebec Province, Northern Ireland, and Hawaii.
