Social Media Specialist

Company

Gantri is one of the most innovative and fastest-growing design manufacturers in the world. We pioneered the use of digital manufacturing and plant-based polymers to create high-quality, sustainable lighting products onshore and on-demand. As the most awarded design manufacturer in America, we operate the world’s largest 3D print farm right here in the Bay Area.

Role

We're looking for a Social Media Manager who combines deep platform expertise with strong strategic instincts and a proven ability to build and grow brand presence. This role is both creative and operational: you will own the social media vision for Gantri, concepting, producing, and publishing content across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube — while also leading cross-functional collaboration and shaping our long-term channel strategy.

This role is ideal for someone mid-career who has scaled social presence for a brand and understands how to translate design-driven aesthetics into native platform storytelling. This person will be responsible for driving social media growth independently—from strategy and content development to execution and optimization.

What You'll Do

• Own and drive the social media strategy across Instagram (Reels, Stories, Posts), TikTok, and YouTube Shorts
• Lead content conceptualizations and production — shooting, editing, and publishing high-quality short-form video independently
• Set the creative direction for the channel, maintaining a consistent, premium visual and tonal point of view
• Stay ahead of platform trends, formats, audio, and best practices — and translate them into on-brand executions
• Build and manage content calendars, ensuring consistent publishing cadence and campaign alignment
• Lead community management strategy and own brand voice in social engagement
• Own performance reporting — tracking views, engagement, saves, shares — and use data to iterate and improve
• Partner closely with brand, design, and marketing teams to lead social support for product launches and campaigns

Required Experience

• 4–7 years of experience creating and leading social media content for brands or agencies
• Demonstrated track record of growing social audiences and driving engagement for a lifestyle, design, or consumer brand
• Deep expertise in Instagram and TikTok, with strong instincts for what performs natively on each platform
• Advanced video editing and production skills; proficient in CapCut, Adobe Premiere, or equivalent tools
• Strong visual taste with a refined eye for composition, lighting, pacing, and brand consistency
• Experience owning content strategy end-to-end, from ideation through performance analysis
• Proven ability to collaborate cross-functionally and influence creative direction
• Excellent written communication skills for captions, briefs, and internal stakeholder updates

Preferred Experience

• Photography or videography background with a professional portfolio
• Experience working with premium design, home decor, interiors, or lifestyle brands
• Proficiency with social analytics platforms (Sprout Social, Later, native insights tools, etc.)
• Experience managing or mentoring junior creatives or content producers
• Comfort capturing content across diverse environments — studio, events, retail, and on-location

Why Gantri?

• Be part of a company reimagining how design meets manufacturing.
• Play a pivotal role in shaping the building blocks of Gantri products.
• Drive innovation on our next-generation digital manufacturing platform.
• Advance sustainable design practices in real-world production.
• Work in a fast-growing, design-driven environment.
• Bring visionary concepts to life at scale.
