Do you light up at the thought of a Saturday event? Can you own a project from idea to finished post without anyone looking over your shoulder? Are you the person your friends already come to for “what should I post”?
We’re looking for a Social Media & Community Manager to take real ownership of two things that matter enormously to us: Destro’s social media presence, and the 500+ Brand Ambassadors who bring our activations to life. This is a part-time role built for someone who’s genuinely a self-starter. You’ll get direction and support, but we need someone who runs with a brief rather than waiting to be managed through it.
Key responsibilities include:
Brand Ambassador Community Management
Act as the main point of contact for our Brand Ambassador community across our socials, WhatsApp channels, and StaffConnect.
Write and send the monthly BA newsletter.
Maintain the live Destro talent database, talent profiles, and onboarding documentation.
Post job advertisements, book interviews, and run talent inductions.
Action job briefing requests, confirm bookings, and send shift reminders.
Gather and act on BA feedback, keeping a genuine pulse on how our community is feeling.
Social Media Strategy & Content
Own Destro’s social media strategy end to end across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and LinkedIn.
Plan and execute a monthly content calendar, keeping an eye on trends and platform shifts.
Brief Brand Ambassadors on the ground to capture content at activations you can’t personally attend, and turn it into polished posts.
Track performance and bring insights back into the next month’s plan.
Event & Activation Involvement
Attend activations in person around Auckland. This is a hands-on, in-person role, not a desk-only one.
Weekend availability is essential, as much of our activation work happens outside standard business hours. Weekend activation attendance is a core part of this role and included in your regular hours.
Be a visible, trusted face to our Brand Ambassadors, not just a name in a group chat.
About you:
A genuine self-starter who’s comfortable making decisions and moving projects forward independently.
Someone who gets energy from being at events, not someone who tolerates them.
Auckland-based, with reliable weekend availability.
Strong social media instincts and confident, on-brand writing.
Previous experience in social media, community management, talent/staffing coordination, or events is a strong advantage.
Hours & Pay: 25 hours per week, $35,000–$40,000 pro-rata depending on experience, reporting to our Operations Director. Hours are structured flexibly across the week around our activation calendar, including weekend work and two in-office days at our Ponsonby offices on Tuesday and Thursday are mandatory.
If this sounds like you, send through your resume and a short note on why Destro’s caught your eye, we’ll be in touch to arrange an interview.
We’re looking for someone who can hit the ground running from day one, bring their own ideas to the table, and help us keep our Brand Ambassador community the best in New Zealand.
