Job Description

Seatio is seeking a dynamic Social Media Manager to spearhead its brand visibility and content strategy from the ground up. This is a unique opportunity to build the company's social presence from its nascent stages, driving engagement and growth.

In this role, you will be instrumental in cultivating the waitlist audience during the Pre-Go-To-Market (GTM) phase and leading the social component of the Founding Ambassador program. You will carry this momentum through the public launch and beyond, defining Seatio's distinct voice, launching its social channels, and transforming early followers into the platform's first diners and dedicated advocates.

Key responsibilities include owning and managing Seatio's presence across Instagram, TikTok, and other relevant channels for Lagos diners. You will develop Seatio's social voice and visual identity, translating restaurant partnerships and product milestones into consistent, engaging content. Planning and executing a comprehensive content calendar that spans restaurant features, dining culture, behind-the-scenes platform development, and diner-facing education will be crucial.

You will also drive signups and engagement for the 8-week Pre-GTM waitlist campaign, activate the Founding Ambassador program through social and content initiatives, and prominently feature confirmed restaurant partners to build anticipation. Furthermore, you will translate user acquisition tactics into compelling social content and campaigns, champion the unique rewards program, and meticulously track and report on social media growth metrics.

Collaboration is key, as you will partner with the restaurant success team to source content and align messaging with the growth marketing team to ensure organic and paid efforts are synergistic. Success in this role will be measured by launching an on-brand social presence within weeks, actively growing the waitlist and ambassador cohort within 90 days, and measurably contributing to user acquisition targets within six months.
