- Craft platform-specific narratives
 that bring CarExpert's expert content to life in approachable, engaging ways.
- Grow an active and engaged community
 of car buyers, enthusiasts, and partners, not just followers.
- Edit and re-shape video content
 (car reviews, comparisons, behind-the-scenes) into thumb-stopping compelling formats (shorts, reels, teasers).
- Translate reviews, guides, and big events into social-first storytelling
, optimised for reach and conversation.
- Plan and schedule content calendars
 across platforms with an audience-growth mindset.
- Engage directly with communities
, starting conversations, encouraging feedback, and surfacing insights.
- Collaborate with editorial, video and marketing teams
 to amplify campaigns, research, and launches.
- Drive influencer and creator collaborations
to extend CarExpert's reach and credibility.
- Maximise performance of organic content
 with smart boosting strategies to amplify reach and engagement, ensuring content delivers on campaign objectives.
- Track performance, audience sentiment and community health
, with a focus on how our work ultimately drives Australians to choose CarExpert for their next new car.

About you

You're more than a social media manager - you're a digital storyteller and community builder. You know how to craft content that captures attention and how to nurture a community, so it feels connected, valued, and engaged. You're hands-on, creative, and quick to adapt in a fast-moving environment.

We'd love you to bring:

  • 5+ years' experience in social media, digital content, or community management, ideally in a fast-paced brand or publisher environment.
  • A proven track record of growing audiences and driving engagement across multiple platforms.
  • Strong video editing skills with an eye for social-first storytelling.
  • Excellent writing skills with the ability to turn complex or technical topics into clear, relatable stories.
  • Experience in community engagement and moderation - starting conversations, responding authentically, and building trust.
  • A good balance of creative instincts and data-driven thinking; you know how to test, learn, and refine.
  • Awareness of platform trends and emerging formats, with the ability to adapt content to maximise reach and impact.
  • A proactive, collaborative approach; you're someone who brings ideas, energy, and positivity to the team.

Why CarExpert?

  • Be part of a fast-growing, entrepreneurial team reshaping the new car market, and helping Australians buy smarter, with the right car at the right deal.
  • Dynamic, high-energy environment where your ideas move quickly into execution.
  • Chance to make a visible impact on brand growth and community building.
  • Collaborative culture with founders, journalists, and video specialists who are passionate about cars.
