Social Media Manager

Job description

WHAT'S ACTUALLY GOING ON HERE We have a product that generates a non-stop stream of “wait, it can do that?” moments, a Creator Program already paying out across five platforms, and founders who post. What we don't have is one person who owns all of it end to end. Right now social is split across people who have other day jobs, and the Creator Program ops (submissions, payouts, tiers, sheets) need a real operator. That's the seat. First dedicated social hire, no social team above you, no playbook to inherit. You decide what this function becomes. WHAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY DO - Own all of Viktor's organic social. LinkedIn, X, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube. Calendar, posting, copy, hooks, replies, comments. You're the voice and the hands on every channel, every day. - Live in the conversation. Be terminally online where AI and tech Twitter actually happen. Know the lore, the memes, the running jokes, the people. Reply, quote, jump into threads, and make Viktor part of the discourse in real time, not a brand account that posts and ghosts. - Run the Creator Program as an operator. Hundreds of creators post about Viktor for cash and credits across five platforms. You own the ops: review submissions, run the payout tiers, keep the sheets and automations clean, handle creator questions, and keep the whole machine humming and abuse-free. - Amplify the team. The founders and the team post. You make those posts land (angles, timing, repurposing one good post into five) and you build the engine that compounds reach over time. - Measure what works. Track what's actually moving (reach, follows, signups, creator output) and steer the calendar toward it. Kill what doesn't. Report it cleanly. THE BAR This role is judged on reach and pipeline that compound, not posts shipped. “I stayed on schedule” isn't the bar. “More of the right people discover Viktor every month, the Creator Program runs clean and on time, and our feeds are something people actually follow” is. HOW YOU'LL KNOW IT'S WORKING - 30 days. You own the calendar across every channel, you're posting daily, you're active in the right conversations, and the Creator Program ops run through you cleanly: submissions reviewed, payouts on time, nothing slipping. - 60 days. Follower and engagement curves are bending up, you're a recognized voice in the AI corner of X, and the Creator Program is running like a machine with you on top of it. - 90 days. Social is a real top-of-funnel engine. The Creator Program is cleaner and more reliable than when you got it, the team's posts compound through you, and “have you seen Viktor's [channel]” is something prospects say. WHO YOU ARE - You've run social for a brand or product before, ideally B2B SaaS, AI, or dev tools, and you can show what the channels looked like before you and after. - Terminally online, in the best way. You don't just use X and TikTok, you live there. You know what's happening in AI and tech Twitter before most people do, you get the lore, and you have the taste to know what lands and what flops. - An operator, not just a poster. You run programs, keep sheets and payouts clean, handle creators, and close loops. The Creator Program ops are half this job, and you actually enjoy running the machine. - A sharp writer. Fast, funny when it counts, clear. Copy that stops the scroll. - Technically curious. You can hold your own with technical users, read a workflow, and understand what Viktor actually does. AI-native: you use tools like Claude or Viktor in your daily work, and you'll use Viktor to run your own job. - Comfortable in chaos. Small team, full ownership, no playbook. You decide and move. EVEN BETTER IF - You've built your own following on X or TikTok, or run a brand account people actually followed. - You've run the ops behind a creator, ambassador, or referral program at scale. - You've worked with technical buyers and builders (devs, ops, marketers). WHY THIS ROLE IS DIFFERENT - You own the whole top of the funnel, not a content calendar inside someone else's strategy. Every channel and the Creator Program are yours end to end. - The raw material is genuinely good. You're not manufacturing hype for a boring product; you're putting one of the most interesting things being built in AI in front of the right people. - The work is public. It goes out under Viktor's name, and your wins are visible to the whole company the day they happen. HOW WE WORK Small team, high trust, low process. Decisions are made by owners, not committees. You will ship your first week. You will talk to users your first day. We don't do alignment meetings or stakeholder syncs. We build things, see if they work, and iterate. WHY VIKTOR We're one of the fastest-growing companies in the world. The product works. The market is pulling. This is a rare window: everyone here owns something real. Not a task. A surface of the company that customers depend on. That doesn't last forever. Right now, it's still true. COMPENSATION Top-of-the-market salary and the kind of ownership that only exists at this stage. The best work happens when you're in the room. Munich, New York, Dublin, and Warsaw. Remote for some roles.
