Social Media Manager

If you love Jesus, coffee, and well-crafted news, you might just be our next teammate. We're looking for a social media whiz — the kind of person who spots a trend before it's a trend, has a bottomless well of fresh ideas, and knows exactly which ones fit TPO and which ones don't.

About The Pour Over

TPO grew to 500,000 subscribers with a dental student leading the growth and marketing efforts. Our founder launched TPO while working full-time for Dish Network. Our Managing Editor? Environmental Studies degree. Moral of the story: we care more about initiative and results than perfect résumés.

Our mission is to be a trustworthy news resource that points people toward eternal hope. Get to know us:

Our core values

ExcellenceIf we do it, we do it excellently, as for the Lord. (Colossians 3:23–24)
FaithWe seek to glorify Jesus, the King. (Matthew 22:37–40)
FamilyWe love and invest in families. (Mark 10:13–16, Ephesians 5:33)

HumilityWe disagree well and are open to correction. (Philippians 2:3–4)

About the job

You know that one friend? The one whose Stories are really funny, who sends you the 7 a.m. TikTok you didn't ask for but couldn't stop watching, who hears a trending audio and knows exactly what to do with it? That's who we're looking for. Are you that friend? Here's what you'd own:

  • Run our socials. Instagram first, TikTok and Pinterest to build from (pretty much) scratch, Facebook in the mix, Substack on the horizon.
  • Create scroll-stopping stuff. Fun, original content, plus our newsletter and podcast, repackaged for the feed.
  • Grow beyond social. You'll work on our Multimedia team and get into the wider media world here at TPO.
  • Lean into AI. Not for everything (we're not handing the brand to a robot), but for ideation and efficiency, we're fans.
  • Keep an eye on data. We ❤️ data. No need to be an aficionado, but you'll dive into the data weeds.

What we're looking for

  • Creative work that makes people stop scrolling
  • A go-getter attitude with more ideas than you know what to do with
  • Canva and social video editing fluency
  • A curiosity for AI tools
  • Passion for TPO's mission
  • Ability to be in-person (the reels aren't gonna film themselves)

Availability

This role does not have a rigid schedule. It mostly runs on normal core hours during the day. The one wrinkle: content needs to go out at the right moment, so we ask for ~60 minutes of posting availability between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. CT on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. Outside of that, you'll mostly get the rest of your hours in during normal business hours — and we promise we're reasonable humans about it. (All times are in CT.)

MondayNormal business hours
Tuesday~60 mins between 4–6 p.m.
WednesdayNormal business hours
Thursday~60 mins between 4–6 p.m.
FridayNormal business hours
SaturdayNuthin'! Enjoy Shabbat!
Sunday~60 mins between 4–6 p.m.

Compensation & benefits

  • $55K–$65K compensation
  • 401(k) with match
  • Unlimited PTO
  • Flexible, hybrid working environment
  • Office with gym, random team lunches, quality coffee, and lots of LMNT
  • Invites to quarterly Summer Paloozas, Fall Fam Jams, Winter Bonanzas, and Spring Flings (which may or may not be aggressively-named team retreats)
  • For full-time employees: medical, dental, vision, and long-term disability insurance, plus a Dependent Care FSA
