Dream Three is a production company founded by an award-winning filmmaker and a Broadway actor. We create high-impact, mainstream stories that awaken consciousness and drive cultural change. Our projects span mediums and genres to include scripted and unscripted, podcasts and music, theater and live events, publishing, and immersive experiences. We are an elite team: focused, high-trust, and relentlessly committed to mastery — not a 9-to-5 comfort zone. If you thrive in environments with radical candor, clear ownership, and big creative swings, you’ll feel at home here. ROLE OVERVIEW We are a multi-platform production company working in film, theater, podcasts, music, immersive, and publishing. We’re hiring a Social Media Manager to own content, growth, and community for our first client and support a growing portfolio of talent and brands. You’ll run a repeatable system—planning, approvals, production, publishing, and reporting—while collaborating with existing producers and editors as output scales. What Success Looks Like In This Role: You maintain a tight weekly cadence, including a content calendar, clean approvals, on-time publishing, and organized project files. You build trust with stakeholders through clear communication, predictable timelines, and strong brand judgment. Your edits and/or direction demonstrate strong hooks and improved retention. You scale output from 3–5 clips/week to 10–20 clips/week within 6 months by briefing and QA’ing additional editors/creators. Community is handled consistently (DMs, comments, reviews, ad comments) with clear escalation rules. WHO YOU ARE You move fast but care a lot about taste and details. You’re comfortable getting direct creative feedback and iterating quickly. You love studying what works on TikTok/Reels/Shorts and can explain why a clip hits. You’re proactive: if a hook isn’t working, you suggest alternatives. You’re organized and dependable: you communicate clearly, protect deadlines, and keep approvals moving. You can give clean, creative notes and manage freelancers without ego. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES Strategy & Experiments: Build and execute channel strategy and content pillars—running weekly tests to improve reach, retention, saves/shares, and follower quality. Content Production & Packaging: Create platform-native short-form video (Reels/TikTok/Shorts) + supporting assets (covers, captions, titles, cutdowns). Produce multiple hook options when needed and iterate fast based on performance signals. Plan and capture BTS/event content when needed; deliver same/next-day edits. Workflow & Approvals: Maintain a rolling editorial calendar with checkpoints and approvals. Build batch approval packs (weekly or biweekly) and manage occasional single-post approvals when needed. Brief and QA video editors: assign work, give notes, approve finals, and maintain naming conventions. Maintain a simple decision log (what was approved, what changed, and why) so nothing gets lost in Slack. Publishing & Optimization Schedule/publish via our social suite; optimize per platform; manage posting hygiene (links, tags, captions, accessibility). Community & Reputation: Engage consistently and partner with talent/internal teams to keep each voice authentic and on-brand. Triage DMs/comments/reviews/ad comments; escalate sensitive issues quickly and appropriately. Analytics & Reporting: Track watch time, completion %, saves/shares, CTR, follower quality, and top-performing formats. Deliver a concise monthly insights report: what worked, what didn’t, and the next tests. Operations & Security Administer Meta Business Manager, TikTok Business Center, and YouTube Studio; manage permissions, 2FA, and asset libraries. Maintain tool hygiene and documentation so the department can scale. ROLE REQUIREMENTS Portfolio showing short-form social work (Reels/TikTok/Shorts) with strong packaging instincts. Comfortable owning an end-to-end workflow: plan, produce, approve, publish, engage, learn. Solid analytical thinking: can translate performance into specific creative and growth actions.
