Social Media Manager / Samfélagsmiðlastjóri
Join us in creating the most fun dating app in the world 🫶
Smitten is a gamified dating app that gets you into better conversations.We believe work should be fun, and you should be excited to get to work on Mondays. That mindset is why, over the past few years, we’ve been recognized by Great Place to Work as one of Iceland’s top workplaces.
If you are the kind of person who can’t help but make everyday things more fun, competitive, or interesting, we may be looking for you. Smitten is pioneering a new era in how single people lead their lives. We are on a mission to create a happier world, bringing happy daters together with a fun and creative approach to online dating.
While talent is a close second, we hire for who you are first. That means your values, your personality, and how you contribute to a supportive, collaborative team culture. We believe the key to success is how we communicate with each other and with our users. Communication is a huge part of both our company culture and our product. We'll support you in becoming exceptional at giving and receiving feedback, taking ownership, and building real trust with your teammates.
You may be a team fit if you:
- Have a deep passion for your work
- Have a driver’s mentality
- Are confident in your skillset
- Are humble enough to know you still have a lot to learn
- Want to become better in people skills
- Have an extraordinarily high standard to do a good job
- Have an entrepreneurial mindset
- Believe life and work should be an amazing, fun experience
We’re looking for a Social Media Manager
...who knows how to make people feel something. Someone who gets culture, reads the room, and turns brand moments into movements. You’ll own Smitten’s voice across platforms: building a community that’s playful, bold, and never boring.
You’ll collaborate closely with creative, product, and growth teams to bring our story to life, from reactive memes and cultural commentary to long-term campaigns that make people talk (and swipe).
What You’ll Do
- Lead Smitten’s social media strategy across TikTok, Instagram, and emerging platforms.
- Concept, script, create, and post content that captures attention and feels authentically “Smitten.”
- Manage the content calendar and ensure alignment with launches, product updates, and cultural moments.
- Coordinate with agencies and global social media teams to deliver on organic content.
- Build and nurture a community that actually engages, not just scrolls by. Establish a relationship with our ‘Smitties’ and turn them into brand advocates.
- Track analytics, identify what sparks (and what flops), and adjust based on data and intuition. Working closely with our performance manager to deliver content that converts.
- Partner with influencers and creators to brief and deliver content that feels Smitten, in line with the marketing team’s goals.
- Be on the ground for guerrilla activations and events, with social-first in mind.
- Be at the pulse of the cultural conversation, report on trends and use this to inform Smitten’s content strategy.
- Jump into trends early, but never chase them for clout.
We might be a match if you:
- Have created short-form content across TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube that actually performed.
- Have grown a social channel or improved one with clear, repeatable creative choices.
- Have scripted, shot, edited, and posted content yourself, not just briefed it.
- Use analytics to understand what works and adjust without ego.
- Are confident in spoken and written English.
You’ll Thrive Here If You:
- Are fluent in digital culture and understand how our target audience interacts online.
- Naturally spot moments, formats, jokes, and trends that fit our world and skip the ones that don’t.
- Love experimentation: testing new formats, angles, and ideas.
- Can brainstorm a concept, then jump in front of the camera without hesitation.
- Understand how to turn data into creative direction.
- Have a high degree of accountability and ownership.
Last but not least - Perks, Comps & Benefits
We are a team of ambitious, highly motivated, and driven people who love their work. We need people who share our vision for work and ethics to become a global dominator in the dating space! You will significantly impact our culture and the company's future!
We believe work should be fun, and it should support and even supercharge your personal and professional growth. To commit to that, we offer you a stock option plan, giving you a tangible share in our joint success. In addition to that, we offer many perks and benefits. You will, of course, get the necessary gadgets to do your work, such as a new phone, computer, noise-canceling headphones, etc. We provide lunch, drinks, and snacks at the office.
We thrive on the energy at our office and believe that being physically present sparks creativity and makes us move faster. The office is not just where we work; it’s where we share ideas, laughter, and the excitement of building something incredible. However, we value flexibility. So if you occasionally want to take a focus day at home, work from your favourite coffee shop, or even from a beach in Tenerife, we encourage you to do so.If you want to join us in creating the most fun dating app in the world, we would love to hear from you!
