Social Media Manager

Description

Sequel is a digital family office for the world's best athletes investing in the world's best startups, advancing humanity.

We are on a mission to help athletes build legacies for their families and for the world. Sequel is a seed-stage company founded and backed by experienced serial entrepreneurs with several successful exits.

We’re currently building our media arm, and we’re looking for a passionate, energetic Social Media Manager to help us make it happen.

Our mission is to tell the stories of the world’s highest-performing individuals across sports, music, film, entrepreneurship, investing, and art - the people who push boundaries and redefine what’s possible.

As our Social Media Manager, you’ll be the driving force behind our presence across Instagram, X, TikTok, YouTube, and LinkedIn - owning and scaling our strategy while building a powerful, high-performance global community. You’ll work hand-in-hand with our content team of storytellers to create moments that spark emotion, drive engagement, and celebrate those who dare to defy the odds. This is a rare chance to define the voice of a new global media brand.

What you’ll do

You will join us as our first-ever Social Media Manager, taking full ownership of the launch and long-term strategy of our social media presence. This is a unique opportunity to define, shape, and scale one of the most high-impact projects in our company’s history. 

Your responsibilities will sit across three critical areas:

• Strategy: Build upon the blueprint for our social media identity, from launch planning and campaign design through to content themes and storytelling.
• Execution: Bring our vision to life through asset creation, publishing, and active engagement with our audience and community.
• Growth: Drive ongoing amplification, expand reach through partnerships and collaborations, and continuously refine our approach based on performance.

You will collaborate closely with a world-class content team that has already produced exceptional video assets for our platform. You will report to our Creative Director and will also work closely with our CEO.

You will be responsible for regularly reporting on progress, setting ambitious KPIs, and delivering measurable outcomes against our growth objectives. This role is demanding, but offers unmatched visibility, ownership, and the chance to directly shape the perception of our platform among athletes, investors, and wider audiences.
