YOUR ROLE

The Social Media & Content Manager is part of Stio's Brand Team, reporting to the Senior Brand Manager. This role owns organic social planning and execution, hands-on content creation, and works closely with the Stio athlete program on content deliverables. As a DTC-first brand, organic social is our highest-leverage upper funnel channel — and this role exists to unlock its potential through authentic, creator-driven content that brings the Stio brand to life across social media channels. This role is first and foremost a creator and operator, and lives the life Stio is built around — moving through backcountry terrain, bike trails, and resort runs as a participant, not a spectator.

Must be based in Jackson Hole, WY or Salt Lake City, UT; approximately 20% travel required.
