Social Media Community Manager

Here at Tin Can, we're working to give kids the social independence we had growing up. We've built a modern remix of the classic home phone, running on a private network with safety-first features, thoughtful design, and a few delightful surprises along the way.

As we gear up to scale even more to thousands of families, we're ready to bring on a Social Media Community Manager to help make it happen.

For a lot of parents, a DM or a comment is the first real conversation they have with Tin Can outside the box itself, and during the holiday rush, that conversation happens a lot more often. A slow reply, a missed comment, or a tone that doesn't sound like us isn't just a missed engagement metric, it's a family we didn't get to reassure. The Social Media Community Manager owns that conversation end to end, everywhere it happens.

You'll live in Sprout Social and Meta Business Suite, working across Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, and Facebook, and you'll sit close to the Social Media Specialist and the Customer Support Specialists, reporting into the Head of Brand Strategy & Communications. Your job is to make sure DMs and comments never go stale when volume spikes and coverage thins out. You'll know when to answer something yourself, when to hand it to support, and when to flag it up, and you'll never let a family wonder if anyone's listening.
