About the role

We are seeking someone who understands how to grow and engage social media accounts and communities around a brand's core offering.

You will collaborate with our creative, media, product, and growth teams to help Pocket FM become a loved and talked-about brand across Germany — and later, across Europe.

What you will do

Social Media Management

• Build, own, and grow the official social media channels of Pocket FM Germany across major platforms (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Reddit, and more).
• Craft platform-specific promotion plans to establish Pocket FM as a brand centered around German people, culture, and lifestyle, while showcasing our differentiated value offering of long-form bingeable shows and exclusive blockbusters.
• Ideate and produce content that brings Pocket FM stories to life — snippets, dialogues, teasers, plot twists, cliffhangers, and character reels.
• Create and manage a social media calendar focused on events in Germany, how Pocket FM adds value to daily life, story releases, episode drops, and trending genres.
• Collaborate with scriptwriters, audio producers, and design/video teams to create best-in-class content.
• Actively engage with comments, fan theories, reviews, and listener discussions, and interact with creators, voice artists, and fandom accounts.
• Track performance of trailers, story snippets, social-led conversions, and engagement patterns; refine hooks, formats, and messaging accordingly.
• Analyse data to understand which posts and messages drive the most engagement and brand love.
• Own targets for follower growth, engagement rate, reach, impressions, and social-media-led conversions.

Community Management

• Build authentic, two-way relationships with listeners to strengthen trust and turn them into active advocates.
• Lead continuous community engagement through conversations, interactions, and initiatives that make users feel heard, valued, and excited.
• Design meaningful, fun, and engaging interactions around our audio shows.
• Grow the listener community by empowering super-users, enabling referrals, and amplifying UGC and fan-driven content.
• Surface real-time user insights — sentiment, trends, feature requests, and churn signals — and share them with internal teams.
• Monitor and manage community sentiment to address concerns early and protect the brand's reputation.
• Amplify storytelling through community-led activities such as AMAs, polls, challenges, reactions, and collaborative fan moments.

What you bring

• 4–8 years of experience in social media and/or community management or content marketing — having built and grown social media channels or communities for yourself or for a brand.
• Strong understanding of online communities, user behavior, and engagement mechanics through NPS.
• Ability to move fast, react to trends, analyse sentiment, capture consumer insights, and manage multiple moving parts.
• Experience building, growing, and moderating social media channels and communities across major platforms (experience in product-led environments or the content industry is preferred).
• Comfortable working cross-functionally with marketing, product, content, and support teams.
• Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple conversations and initiatives simultaneously.

Good to have

• Experience in entertainment, OTT, gaming, audiobooks, or creator ecosystems.
• Basic video editing or design abilities.
• Knowledge of fandom psychology, binge behavior, and narrative marketing.
