Your role, should you choose to accept it, is to take everything that you’ve learned in Social Media and apply it to convert active fans of the brand into booked appointments.
You’ll be charged with nurturing leads out of your assigned social platforms, getting their contact information via DM and then introducing them to an inside sales team to take it from there.
Your main KPI will be based on your ability to increase the number of booked consultations.
To do this, you’ll undertake the familiar task of engaging followers to represent the voice of the brand : smart, empathetic, reassuring, engaging.
This is a luxury brand, so your content needs to be savvy and bespoke for the customer.
Instagram and Facebook are your main sandboxes, with a focus on Facebook Groups. Why is this? Because the company’s Before & After photos generate massive awareness and interest and create incredible buzz, which means leads.
What Success Looks Like
As the Social Media Manager for this beauty brand, you’ll be wooing the 20% of customers who bring in 80% of results. This business is looking to eliminate flaky patients who book appointments but never show, so your cultivation of a community will attract serious interest instead of fence-sitters.

You’re not selling toasters here; you want patients 100% onboard with the service offered into a no-pressure consultation.
Lukewarm customers are welcome, but you don’t want to push anyone who’s not ready. Your job is to help, not herd.
You believe AI has its place to quickly answer questions and execute functions any time of the day, but also that nothing can ever replace the human interaction, especially in a field as delicate as personal appearance.
Customers are trusting you with their very selves, and you want them to know and feel that you care about them as people.
Yeah, it’s a tightrope, but you’ve got this. You’ve done social commerce work before from in-house.
You have a plan for lead generation without paid social that’s your coworker’s turf, and it wouldn’t be polite to tread.
Or your plan includes lead gen and you just clicked that link for a better fit.
Inside Skinny
The management team of the company is tenacious and they’re going to be looking for someone who is equally eyes-on-the-prize.
This is a rocketship, where you get to drive a lot of the scaling quotient.
All qualified applicants will receive consideration without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, creed, age, sexual orientation, veteran status, marital status, disability, or any other status protected by applicable law.

Hired Gun Profile
Passion for user-centered design. That’s the main thing you’ve got UX down in your bones. You love the challenge of creating designs that resonate with users, that eliminate barriers to use, that improve experiences in huge paradigm-shifting ways or in tiny, incremental ways.
That passion is evident in your online portfolio, which is the fruit of the past three years of work in which you collaborated with teams deeply involved in graphic design, UX and / or visual design.
Tech-wise, you’re a cinch : you have solid experience with Axure, Zeplin, Principle and / or Invision. And you’re a proficient user of web technologies like HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
For you, collaboration is not just a buzzword or something you’re dragged to, kicking and screaming it’s the way you prefer to work, since you’ve seen again and again that your best work stems from dialogue and exchange with colleagues.
Being that sort of person, communicating comes easily to you, as well : You’re perfectly comfortable sharing your thoughts with all manner of stakeholder, whether that’s standing over a colleague’s desk, emailing an internal client, writing a report, standing up in a formal meeting, or hunkering down with your team to hammer out a solution.
