Senior Manager, Content Creator & Social Media Marketing - Corporate New York

Tao Group Hospitality•New York, NY

16d•$80,000 - $95,000•Onsite

About The Position

Tao Group Hospitality is home to some of New York City’s most celebrated dining and rooftop experiences. Our Marketing Team is looking for a hands-on Social Media Content Creator to become the primary visual voice for a focused portfolio of our New York restaurant and rooftop venues. You’ll shoot, edit, and publish original photo and video content that captures the beauty of our food, the energy of our spaces, and the culture our guests come back for. This is a creator role in every sense: you’re behind the camera, in the edit, and pushing publish. To apply, submit your resume alongside a link to your portfolio, Instagram, or TikTok — somewhere we can see your work in context. We’re especially drawn to candidates whose content makes food and spaces feel worth experiencing. Applications without a portfolio will not be considered.

Requirements

2–4 years of hands-on social media content creation experience, ideally with a strong portfolio in food, dining, or lifestyle — you’ve made a plate of food look like it deserves a reservation
Skilled content shooter in both photo and video — confident with a DSLR or mirrorless camera and equally comfortable shooting on iPhone in natural and ambient restaurant light
Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and/or CapCut for video editing; Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop for photo work
Deep fluency in Instagram and TikTok — you understand what stops the scroll, what drives saves, and why pacing matters as much as the shot itself
A refined visual sensibility — you naturally think in composition, color, and mood, and can shift your aesthetic register between a meditative Japanese dining room and an open-air rooftop at sunset
Organized and self-directed: you can manage a multi-venue content calendar without being micromanaged
Genuine passion for food, dining culture, and the New York restaurant scene — this isn’t a category you cover, it’s one you live in
Availability to work weekends and some evenings, especially during peak dining service and seasonal activations
Ability to write, read, and verbally communicate
Must have strong problem-solving skills
Excellent written and verbal communication skills required
Ability to work under pressure and meet deadlines
Must have good positive energy throughout the day
Must be able to read the computer monitors and print legibly
Must be able to sit and/or stand for extended periods of time
Must be able to move quickly through work and set the pace in the office
Must be effective as part of a team; ability to interact with internal and external customers, managers, and co-workers in a professional, courteous manner
Ability to maintain a high level of confidentiality
Ability to handle a fast-paced, busy, and somewhat stressful environment

Nice To Haves

Formal background in photography, videography, or a related creative discipline preferred

Develop and maintain a rolling content calendar in close collaboration with the Hotel Marketing Team, ensuring each brand has its own distinct visual identity and consistent posting cadence
Adapt your creative approach across the distinct venue personalities.

Monitor content performance across your venues and share insights with the team; use data to sharpen your creative instincts over time
