About the role
We’re looking for a Social Media Manager to bring that mission to life online — a creative strategist who combines storytelling with data, builds authentic engagement, and transforms ideas into impactful campaigns. In this role, you’ll lead the strategy, planning, and execution of content across our social channels, managing social media for all three of our brands — Paystone, DataCandy, and NiceJob — ensuring every post, video, and story aligns with our brand voice and business goals.

This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives on creativity, collaboration, and using insights to shape how Paystone shows up in the digital world.
