Join Us at Social Element!

Founded 22 years ago, we're a leading global and independent full-service social media agency on a mission to Make Social Better for everyone.

To #makesocialbetter we are looking to build our current talent pool for German Social Media Community Managers to support future work with a leading automotive client and a well recognized financial powerhouse.

Community Managers

Our mission is to cultivate strong, genuine connections with a brand's audience, creating a true sense of community and sparking engagement through meaningful interactions. By actively monitoring social media channels, we ensure that every comment and piece of content shared reflects positively and authentically on the brand.

We thrive in the fast-paced environment these projects bring, expertly navigating through high volumes of content while seamlessly integrating into the community. But for us, it's about more than just engagement. We're dedicated to building a secure, positive, and inclusive community where everyone can experience and share that brand love.
