About You

We are looking for an experienced and detail-oriented freelance Social Media Manager to support Archetype on a high-profile corporate B2B client account.

You are a confident social media professional with strong judgement, excellent attention to detail, and experience working with complex corporate or technology-led organisations. You understand that this is not a small consumer, lifestyle, or SME social media project. The work requires a mature approach, client-ready communication, and the ability to operate carefully within an established team and approval process.

You know how to identify relevant third-party content, assess whether it is appropriate for a corporate brand to engage with or reshare, and manage the steps required to get content reviewed, approved, and reported on.

This is a freelance role for approximately 10 hours per week over an initial 3-month period, with the option to work remotely or from Archetype’s Surry Hills office.

What You Do

As a Freelance Social Media Manager, you support the day-to-day management of social media activity for a corporate B2B client. You work closely with the Archetype client team to identify relevant content opportunities, coordinate approvals, and help maintain a consistent, professional social media presence.

You will:

• Find, review, and vet relevant posts and content for potential resharing or engagement.
• Assess content for brand suitability, tone, relevance, accuracy, and client risk.
• Prepare content recommendations for review by the Archetype team and client.
• Coordinate approval processes with the client and internal team.
• Support day-to-day social media management activity across agreed channels.
• Create simple reports and updates on activity, performance, and recommendations.
• Track approved, pending, and rejected content to ensure clear workflow management.
• Work as part of the wider Archetype account team, taking direction from the Team Lead or client lead.
• Bring a strong understanding of B2B, corporate, and high-profile client environments.
• Proactively flag issues, risks, or opportunities as they arise.

What You Offer

• A minimum of 5 years’ experience in social media management, ideally in an agency, corporate, technology, or B2B environment.
• Strong experience working with corporate or high-profile client accounts.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a strong command of English.
• Strong judgement and the ability to assess whether content is appropriate for a corporate brand.
• Experience managing social media approval processes and working with internal and external stakeholders.
• Ability to produce clear, simple reports and updates for clients and account teams.
• Strong attention to detail and organisational skills.
• Confidence working independently while staying aligned with a broader team.
• Ability to manage work efficiently within a limited weekly time allocation.
• Familiarity with LinkedIn and other corporate social channels.
• A professional, calm, and considered approach to client work.
• Experience in B2B technology, corporate communications, financial services, enterprise, or government-related sectors would be highly regarded.
