As part of the Wellmore Holdings portfolio backed by WM Partners, Great Lakes Wellness is committed to delivering clean, great-tasting products that help consumers feel their best—inside and out. 

Great Lakes Wellness is committed to creating clean, great-tasting products that support the health and wellbeing of our consumers and the planet. We believe our people are the heartbeat of everything we do—a diverse community of ambitious humans driven to make a meaningful impact on the world, on each other, and on the communities we call home. 

About the Role 

The Social Media Manager will own and drive Great Lakes Wellness’s organic social presence across key platforms, serving as the day-to-day voice of the brand and a critical driver of awareness, engagement, and community growth. This role blends strategy, content creation, cultural fluency, and performance mindset—ideal for a hands-on social native who knows how to turn trends into brand moments and content into connection. 

This role is responsible for creating original content, staying deeply plugged into social trends, managing the content calendar, and translating brand strategy into scroll-stopping, platform-native storytelling. The Social Media Manager will work closely with Brand Marketing, Creative, Influencer, and Performance teams to ensure social supports broader marketing goals while maintaining an authentic, distinctive brand voice. 

The role reports to the Marketing Manager, GLW, and plays a key role in shaping how consumers experience and engage with the Great Lakes Wellness brand every day.

• Monitor performance metrics (engagement, reach, follower growth, saves, shares) and continuously optimize content based on insights. 

• Identify opportunities to test new formats, content styles, and platform features to improve performance. 

Trend & Culture Leadership 

• Stay deeply immersed in social trends, creator culture, platform updates, and emerging conversations. 

• Proactively identify relevant trends and quickly adapt them in a way that feels authentic to the GLW brand. 

• Serve as an internal expert on what’s happening now—and what’s next—on social media. 

Community Management & Collaboration 

• Engage with the GLW community through comments, DMs, and ongoing conversation to build trust and loyalty. 

• Partner closely with Influencer, Brand Marketing, Creative, and Performance teams to ensure alignment and amplification across channels. 

• Support influencer and creator content by identifying strong organic moments that can be repurposed or boosted. 

Cross-Functional Support

• Deep understanding of social platforms, algorithms, trends, and best practices. 

• Strong copywriting skills with an instinct for tone, humor, and cultural relevance. 

• Data-informed mindset with the ability to interpret performance metrics and apply learnings quickly.
