The role

We're looking for a Social Media and Content Marketing Manager to own the channels where Flexport shows up every day. You'll run our social presence, keep the blog full of content people actually want to read, and produce a newsletter that logistics leaders look forward to opening. You'll write most of it yourself, polish the visuals in Canva, cut short videos for social, and build a network of voices, inside Flexport and out, who amplify our story.

This is a hands-on job for a strong writer who gets social, has an eye for design, and likes shipping work rather than just planning it.

You will

Own Flexport's owned social channels day to day across LinkedIn, Twitter/X, YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram: plan the calendar, write the posts, publish, engage, and report on what's working.
Write and edit blog content that turns complex supply chain topics into pieces people finish and share, from thought leadership to customer stories to product updates.
Produce our newsletter end to end, from picking the stories to writing the copy to hitting send.
Design social graphics and light marketing assets in Canva, staying true to Flexport's brand.
Edit short-form video for social, including cutting clips, adding captions, and packaging them for each platform.
Build our influencer network on both sides: coach internal experts and executives to post with confidence, and cultivate relationships with external creators and industry voices.
Track performance across channels and use what you learn to make the next post, article, and newsletter better.

You should have

5+ years in social media, content marketing, or a closely related role.
Genuinely strong writing. You can take a dense logistics topic and make it clear, sharp, and worth reading.
Hands-on experience managing owned media channels, including LinkedIn, Twitter/X, YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram.
A working command of social best practices across those platforms, from what to post to when and why, and how each channel differs.
Basic design editing skills. You're comfortable building clean, on-brand graphics in Canva.
Basic video editing skills. You can cut and caption short clips for social without needing a full production team.
Comfort managing several channels and deadlines at once, with the ownership to keep them all moving.
Bonus: experience building creator or influencer programs, or working in B2B, logistics, or tech.
