Social Media Marketer

Sesame•San Francisco, CA

42d

About The Position

We're looking for a Social Media Marketer to be the founding voice of Sesame across social platforms. You'll launch and own our social presence as we bring our groundbreaking products to market in both software and hardware. This is a rare opportunity to define social strategy from day one at a company that sits at the intersection of tech and fashion. You'll work directly with our leadership team to build a socially-native brand that's curated, tasteful, and product-led - standing out without being overhyped. In this role, you’ll touch social, brand, and influencer, shaping how Sesame shows up in the world. If you've spent years being the social voice at beloved lifestyle, media, or fashion brands and want to bring that sensibility to something truly novel, this role is for you. This is a hands-on role: you'll be strategic AND executional. You'll have significant creative freedom and a seat at the table as we build something meaningful.

Requirements

7+ years of experience in social media marketing, with clear progression from executional to strategic roles.
Background in fashion, lifestyle, media, or consumer brands.
Proven ability to balance strategy with execution: you're comfortable both building the plan and creating the content.
Experience launching new products or brands.
Experience launching new social channels from scratch.
Deep platform expertise (Instagram, TikTok, X) and understanding of how to build an authentic presence on each
Based in or willing to relocate to San Francisco

Nice To Haves

Tech experience (apps or wearables) is a plus but not required.
Experience at small-to-mid-sized companies, showing you can thrive with autonomy and ambiguity.
Background in brands with strong points of view and elevated aesthetics.
Basic content creation skills; experience with motion/video is a plus, but not required.
Understanding of the creator economy and influencer partnerships
Experience working with brand agencies and cross-functional teams
Track record of building engaged communities, not just follower counts
