About Martin Media
Martin Media is a growing video production and marketing agency based in Soldotna, Alaska, led by filmmaker and entrepreneur Josiah Martin. We create cinematic commercial content for businesses across the state and high-end wedding films under our sister brand, Alaska Wedding Videographer. We also run social media and marketing for a growing roster of client brands across construction, healthcare, tourism, nonprofit, and tribal sectors. Our brand voice is creative, driven, and rooted in service.
Role Overview
As our Social Media Manager, you’ll own the social media engine for our agency’s client portfolio — currently 5 brand accounts, on track for 10+ in the coming months. You’ll write captions, build graphics, schedule posts, and stay on-voice for every brand we manage. You’ll also build and maintain client websites alongside our team and support our admin operations with overflow projects as bandwidth allows.
This role is ideal for a young, hungry marketer who wants to be on the inside of a fast-growing agency — not someone looking for a 9-to-5 to coast in.
You won’t be treated as an employee — you’ll be treated as a team member who owns their domain.
Key ResponsibilitiesContent Strategy & Production
- Own monthly content calendars and posting schedules for 5–10 client accounts (and growing)
- Write captions, build graphics in Canva or Figma, and schedule posts across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn
- Stay on-voice for every brand — that’s the heart of the job
- Track post performance and adjust strategy based on what’s working
AI-Powered Content Workflows
- Use modern AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Midjourney, Canva AI) at a high level to research, draft, and produce content efficiently
- Push AI tools to their limits — know when output is good enough and when it needs your hand
- Help us scale content production without sacrificing quality or voice
Website Build & Maintenance
- Build and maintain client websites using modern AI-assisted tools (Framer, Webflow, WordPress, Squarespace, or similar)
- Collaborate with our team to keep client sites current and on-brand
Community Engagement
- Respond to comments and basic engagement on client brand accounts
- Maintain professional, on-voice presence in public-facing interactions
Admin Support
- Support our admin operations with overflow projects as bandwidth allows
- Collaborate with our admin lead on light operational tasks
QualificationsRequired
- 0–3 years managing social media accounts for brands or businesses (strong recent grads with real portfolios absolutely encouraged)
- Strong writing skills with the ability to absorb and produce in a brand’s specific voice — not generic, not AI fluff
- Real fluency with AI content tools, not surface-level usage
- Visual taste — you can spot bad design and produce clean graphics in Canva or Figma
- Speed — you can ship 20+ pieces of polished content per week across multiple accounts without choking
- Self-starter — you read a directive and run with it
- You think like an owner — you take responsibility for outcomes, not just tasks; you see what needs to happen and move
- Coachable — you take feedback without flinching
Preferred
- Experience building or significantly editing websites (Framer, Webflow, WordPress, Squarespace, or similar)
- Background in video production, content marketing, or agency work
- Experience creating Reels or short-form content
- Familiarity with Slack, Google Drive, Monday.com, or similar collaboration tools
- Interest in growing into other parts of our business — occasional production assistance on shoots, brand strategy, or account management
Compensation & Perks
- Salary: $42K–$52K base depending on experience
- Growth Path: Move to $55K base as you prove out
- Bonuses: Performance bonuses tied to client retention and account growth
- Time Off: Unlimited PTO — we trust you to manage your time
- Creative Freedom: Work with a small, passionate team where your ideas matter
- Growth Potential: Real path into bigger roles — strategy, account management, production — as we scale
- Location: In-office in Soldotna. We have a desk, a computer, and a workspace ready for you.
Why Join Martin Media?
Martin Media is a young, fast-growing agency with a tight crew, ambitious goals, and serious creative chops. You’ll work directly with the founder, contribute ideas that get executed, and help build something real on the Kenai Peninsula. We’re not corporate. We’re not 9-to-5. We’re family-rooted, excellence-obsessed, and we treat people right.
How We Work
Everyone on our team is a team member, not an employee. We expect each person to think and act like an owner of their domain — that means owning outcomes (not just completing tasks), flagging problems with proposed solutions (not just complaints), and treating client wins as personal wins.
A few of our operating principles:
- High accountability. High care: We tell each other the truth and we have each other’s backs.
- Outcomes over hours: We measure results, not chair time.
- Decisions made closest to the work: If you own a client’s content, you own the calls — within the bumpers we set together.
- Stewardship: We treat the business, our clients, and each other with the seriousness people deserve. We’re not a grind culture — we’re an excellence culture.
How to Apply
Send the following to [email protected]:
- Resume.
- A 60-second video (phone selfie is fine) telling us: (a) who you are, (b) the brand or account you’ve grown the most and how you did it, and (c) what specifically about this role and Martin Media made you apply — not why you want a marketing job, but why this one.
- Three examples of social content you’ve personally written or produced. Doesn’t have to be for a paying client — a friend’s small business, your own brand, a side project. We want to see your voice and your eye.
Right-fit candidates will hear back within a week.
