Social Media Coordinator

HODINKEE is a fast-growing media brand and shop that makes watches accessible to everyone. Over the past decade, founder Ben Clymer has grown HODINKEE into a thriving company of creatives. Our team now consists of writers, editors, designers, photographers, podcasters, engineers, and so many other key players who cement HODINKEE’s position as the most trusted source for watch news and products. We have a website (duh). An app. A podcast. A magazine. A retail business. And more. HODINKEE’s goal is to bring readers and consumers the best in wristwatches in a way that’s approachable, authentic, honest and fun.

We are now hoping to reach new audiences through social media: this is where you come in.

What You'll Do

The HODINKEE Social Media Coordinator will keep the HODINKEE and the HODINKEE Shop social media feeds populated with creative, engaging and dynamic content. The ideal candidate will be a public-facing member of the team and will leap into welcoming new followers into the world of watches. The candidate will work closely with the HODINKEE Audience Engagement Manager to develop short, middle and long-term audience growth goals and come up with new ideas for native social media content.

The right candidate will also speak fluent internet. We need someone with a strong, clear, approachable voice and a sixth sense for how to translate the (sometimes esoteric) world of watches to the public.
