About the Role:

Were looking for someone to own our voice on social and help make Kong famous. We have the chance to dominate our category but we need a social-obsessed creator to help us pull it off.

Youll work with the Director of New Media to set strategy and tone but YOU will own the channels and get to run with your own ideas. We want someone who knows social better than we do. Someone that loves writing creating and turning complex ideas into simple and attention grabbing content.

This job will be building something new not maintaining whats been done before. If you hate boring corporate social content good! Were building our New Media team to be attention-first. Interesting and memorable. Lets be the one exciting brand in a historically safe category.

FYI: Kongs product and audience are technical but you dont need a technical or B2B background for this role (as long as youre ready to learn).

What Youll Do:

• Write daily content across LinkedIn and Twitter/X for both the Kong brand and execs

• Develop recurring content formats narratives and POVs that build long-term audience equity

• Turn product launches customer stories internet moments and internal thinking into high-performing posts

• Ghostwrite posts threads launch copy and reactive commentary for leadership

• Help us kickstart our short-form video strategy

• Work closely with Product Marketing to sharpen messaging and positioning

• Study competitors (to make sure were nothing like them)

• Maintain a fast feedback loop around what works and what doesnt; experiment constantly with tone format visuals and distribution

• Help build the culture internally: encourage and enable employees to show up on social themselves

What Youll bring to Kong:

• 1-5 years making things on social: we care less about the number of years and more about proof that youre good at this and obsessed with the craft

• Strong instincts for internet humor timing and attention

• Comfortable owning a channel end to end. Youll have all the support you need but there wont be a ton of hand holding

• Able to make things yourself: write shoot and ship the actual post not just plan or strategize

• Can adapt your own writing voice to match the target audience

• Willing to get fluent in a technical product and audience: a B2B or technical background is not required but youll have to learn the product to reach the right people (it will be fun I promise)

• BONUS: Experience with photography videography or basic design skills (even amateur level) is a HUGE plus

• BONUS: Familiarity with influencer marketing as we may build out a program down the road

• BONUS: Youve built an audience yourself and are comfortable being visible online
