Social Media & Community Manager
Full Time • Ethan Stowell Restaurants
Social Media & Community Manager | Ethan Stowell Restaurants
We’re looking for someone who loves making great brands feel alive online. Someone who gets excited about connecting restaurants to their neighborhoods, knows how to build community(not just content), and can help us finally stop winging it on Instagram and TikTok. We’re a growing restaurant group with 20+ locations and multiple distinct restaurant concepts. But right now, none of them are showing up online as well as they show up in real life. That’s where you come in!
This role is about more than scheduling posts. You’ll be the person building the calendar, collaborating on content, writing captions that sound like someone’s behind the screen (because there is), and making sure we’re not just present—but present with purpose. You’ll help bring energy to menu drops, store openings, LTOs, partnerships, chef features, and whatever else we’re cooking up.
You’ll work closely with our videographer & photographer (yes, you’ll have one) and our marketing leadership team. You’ll also manage the day-to-day: engaging with guests, answering DMs, sourcing and resharing content, and making sure we’re building community, not just chasing reach.
