Social Media Manager

ABOUT FOUNTAINFUL
Fountainful is a family-owned, online retailer of handmade fountains, birdbaths, and other upmarket garden ornaments (www.fountainful.com). We represent Italian and American artisans and family builders, some of whom have been in business for 50+ years. We sell to consumers in the Continental United States (i.e., the “Lower 48”).

ROLE OVERVIEW
Our team is searching for a talented Social Media Manager (8-10 hours per week) with 2+ years of previous social media management experience to help 1) develop Fountainful’s first real social media program on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn; 2) boost Fountainful’s engagement with the public and 2) increase organic website traffic by creating and reposting content.

This Social Media Manager does NOT need to have deep experience with each of these platforms. Only Instagram & Twitter experience is required. The others will be a collaborative effort until you feel comfortable posting on your own.
