Social Media Lead

Social Media Lead

About the Role

YESSSS is a specialist marine marketing agency based in New Zealand with a team located in Australia and the USA. We work with a portfolio of high-end international marine brands, delivering results-oriented marketing services. We are looking for a Social Media Lead to join our team for an immediate start.

This is a hands-on role for a social media content creator who understands that great social media is a blend of high-end aesthetics, targeted messaging, and data-driven performance. We prioritise quality over quantity. You will be responsible for translating our clients’ strategies into compelling visual content and managing the day-to-day execution across organic and paid social media channels.

What you’ll be doing:

• Social Media Posting: Creating engaging captions, identifying performing hashtags, and scheduling client social media posts.
• Content Production: Editing high-quality Reels, graphic tiles, and images for social media platforms such as LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram.
• Asset Repurposing: Turning raw footage and long-form video into engaging, platform-specific short-form clips.
• Paid Media: Setting up, monitoring, and optimising Meta Ad campaigns to drive lead generation.
• Community Management: Managing monthly content calendars and ensuring all community engagement is handled professionally and promptly.
• Reporting: Providing actionable insights by reviewing digital analytics to recommend future content directions.
• Client Liaison: Working with our amazing clients to ensure our social media content accurately reflects their business goals.

Are you a YESSSS person?

We are looking for a partner who shares our "S" themed values:

• Straight-Up and Good Fun: What you see is what you get. We are looking for someone who takes ownership of their work, is proud of what they deliver, and can have a good laugh. No hidden agendas, no micro-managing—just honest people who take our work seriously, but not ourselves.
• Social & Collaborative: Collaboration is what we do. We work with each other and become a seamless extension of our client’s team. You’ll need impeccable grammar and the ability to adapt your writing to various brand voices to ensure our clients' social presence is engaging and authentic.
• Solutions Focussed: We focus on delivering results. You are results-oriented and enjoy the ‘experiment and learn’ approach, using data and digital analytics to improve ROI and solve problems creatively.
• Synergies & Skill: We work with people on the same wavelength. To find synergy with our team, you will bring:
• Experience: 1–3 years in a hands-on social media role (Agency or In-house).
• Technical Proficiency: High-level skills in video editing (CapCut, Premiere Pro, or similar) and graphic design (Canva/Photoshop).
• Organisation: A methodical approach to digital filing and project management (experience with Monday.com or similar is preferred).

Why YESSSS?

• We are Dog People: Need we say more?
• Supportive Leadership: Our leadership team is experienced in growing successful international marine businesses. We put our people in winning positions to ensure the best results.
• Remote Work: This is a remote role based in New Zealand, offering flexibility and autonomy.
• Industry Impact: Work with world-leading marine engineering and luxury boat brands.
• Immediate Start: We are ready to bring the right person on board straight away.
• Collaborative Culture: You will work with our talented team who make remote working feel less isolating.
• Career Development Opportunities: We are a growing business and will provide coaching and leadership guidance to nurture your career.
• Future opportunity to switch to 4-day work-week: To start, we need someone who can work 5-days, but after 12-months this role can shift to a 4-day work week without a reduction in your salary.
