Marketing and Social Media Manager

The posting, as Essor wrote it

Essor, where brands take flight. We find digital challenger brands and supercharge them into iconic global legends that consumers love. As a next-generation consumer products platform, we leverage technology, industry expertise, and strategic collaborations to ignite growth and launch brands beyond expectations.

Essor’s brand portfolio today includes a broad range of rapidly growing health & wellness and lifestyle brands like Boka, ZitSticka, Puracy, OTOTO Design, FreshCap, Iron Flask, Fullstar, NumNum, Key Nutrients, and Viking Revolution that are sold on Amazon, Direct to Consumer channels, and through national retailers like Target, CVS, and Walmart.

At Essor, we are at the forefront of leveraging AI, automation, and emerging technologies to challenge traditional ways of working. We are empowered to engage technology-driven initiatives. We want individuals who are hands-on, curious, and excited to be part of this journey. We expect Essorians to actively leverage AI, data, and automation to drive impact in their daily work. This includes, but is not limited to, the use of AI coding agents to automate tasks (e.g., Copilot, Antigravity), development of automated or agentic workflows (e.g., N8N, Dify), and engagement with data analysis tools (including SQL where relevant). While mastery is not required at the outset, rapid learning, technical fluency, and continuous upskilling are core expectations. The company will support your growth through guidance and coaching, and you are expected to actively develop and apply your skills as part of your role.

About the Role
The Retail Marketing & Social Media Manager will own retail marketing, retail media, PR, and organic social for Viking Revolution — the #1 beard care brand on Amazon, now scaling fast in retail at Walmart and Sprouts. This role connects Retail Sales, Creative, our PR agency, and retailer media teams (including Walmart Connect) to bring retail launches and brand moments to life across every account and every channel.
You will directly execute organic social and creator strategy across Instagram and TikTok, leveraging AI tools to create, test, and scale content, while also owning our retail media campaigns and managing our PR agency relationship.
The ideal candidate is equal parts project manager, marketer, creator, and analyst — someone who thrives on managing retail launches, leveraging retail media and creator content to drive growth, and using data to continuously optimize performance.
You will also create and run Viking Revolution’s master marketing calendar — the single source of truth for retail, retail media, PR, and social — so every launch, promotion, press moment, and post lands on time and in sync.

Digital Fluency & AI Integration
At Essor, technical fluency is a prerequisite for excellence. We look for individuals who are excited to pioneer new ways of working by leveraging LLMs, automated workflows, and data analysis tools.

Whether it’s deploying AI coding agents (Copilot, Antigravity) to ship faster, building agentic workflows in N8N or Dify, or querying data via SQL to drive objective decisions, you should be a practitioner of the "automated-first" mindset. While we don't expect Day 1 mastery, we do require a relentless "learn-and-apply" loop. We are committed to your growth through active mentorship and internal upskilling, expecting in return a commitment to continuous experimentation and the proactive application of AI to solve complex business problems.
