Social Media Strategist Jobs in New York

INTRODUCTION

SeatGeek believes live events are powerful experiences that unite humans. With our technological savvy and fan-first attitude we’re simplifying and modernizing the ticketing industry. SeatGeek is looking for an Organic Social Media Strategist to own and reimagine our organic social presence from the ground up — across platforms, across moments, and across the culture that makes live entertainment worth showing up for. From hosting an Instagram live at an event to responding to fans on Reddit to developing a TikTok content series for the start of the NFL season, this person will own end-to-end strategy and execution across platforms. The Organic Social Media Strategist will report to the Director of Organic Growth and work cross-functionally with content, creative, PR, fan support, and beyond. The ideal candidate brings deep fluency in social media marketing, a genuine love for sports and live entertainment, and a strong instinct for tying great content to real business impact.

ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Own and manage SeatGeek's organic social channels end-to-end — including strategy, content creation, scheduling, and publishing across Instagram, TikTok, X, and any emerging platforms worth owning
Develop and execute a cohesive organic social strategy aligned with brand and business goals — defining channel-specific approaches, content pillars, posting cadence, and audience growth tactics that compound over time
Ideate and produce culturally relevant, platform-native content that taps into live events, sports, concerts, and entertainment moments — turning what's happening in culture into content that drives engagement, shares, and brand love
Stay ahead of trends, conversations, and activity in real time — identifying opportunities for timely reactive content, cultural hijacks, and community engagement that keep SeatGeek part of the conversation
Shoot, edit, and produce short-form video content using self-shot footage, UGC, or provided assets — with a strong eye for storytelling, pacing, hooks, and platform-native formats that stop the scroll
Track, analyze, and report on performance metrics — including reach, engagement, follower growth, and share of voice — and use those insights to continuously optimize content strategy and make a clear case for the channel's impact on the business
Own community engagement — responding to comments, DMs, and mentions with a voice that feels human, on-brand, and genuinely fun; turning fans into advocates and everyday interactions into brand moments
Collaborate cross-functionally with marketing, partnerships, PR, and creative, and to support campaigns, product launches, and tentpole moments — while keeping the organic social voice consistent and authentic
Build and manage the content calendar — balancing planned campaigns, evergreen content, and real-time opportunities across multiple platforms without dropping the ball on any of them
Serve as the internal expert and evangelist for organic social — bringing platform insights, algorithm changes, and emerging format recommendations to the broader team and helping educate stakeholders on what moves the needle and why

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

4+ years of experience in organic social media and content strategy, ideally at an e-commerce brand; experience in sports, live events, or ticketing is a strong plus
A scrappy, can-do work ethic. Comfortable operating independently, moving fast, and wearing multiple hats — you don't wait for perfect conditions to ship great content
Strong organization skills, with experience owning and managing a content calendar across multiple platforms and campaigns simultaneously, without letting real-time moments fall through the cracks
Fluent in internet culture — you're always clued into the latest trend, TikTok audio, or viral meme before it peaks, and you know how to translate that into content that feels native, not forced
A genuine passion for live entertainment and sports. You understand the cultural weight of the NBA playoffs as much as you know the setlist for the Ariana Grande tour — and you instinctively know how to show up for those moments in real time
A data-first mindset. You're a strong evangelist for the power of organic social, fluent in platform analytics, and able to clearly report on what's working, what's not, and how the channel connects to business outcomes and revenue
Strong interpersonal and cross-functional communication skills. A natural collaborator who can work fluidly across teams — and who can clearly articulate social strategy to stakeholders at all levels
Experience partnering with creative teams and executing within brand guidelines — while knowing how to push those guardrails in ways that feel fresh and platform-native
Deep familiarity with social search and AI search optimization — you understand how content gets discovered through in-platform search on TikTok and Instagram, and you're proactive about building content strategies that perform in emerging AI discovery surfaces
Hands-on content creation experience, including shooting and editing short-form video (CapCut, Adobe Premiere, or similar); comfortable being a producer, director, and sometimes the talent
Sharp editorial instincts and a distinctive writing voice — you can adapt tone across platforms and write captions that stop the scroll, whether that's a single punchy line or a hook that earns the "more."
A strong creative eye. You can concept and produce content yourself, write a brief that actually inspires a creative team, and give feedback that's specific, actionable, and makes the work better — not just different
* A natural community builder with strong instincts for engaging audiences in comments, knowing when to reply, amplify, or escalate, and turning everyday interactions into brand moments
