Social Media Manager (HallPass)

The Company:

HallPass is building the next generation of candy. Our goal is simple: create the candy people already love, with a fraction of the calories, at the same price. HallPass recently launched nationwide at Walmart.

HallPass is part of the Medici Brands portfolio, alongside brands like David. This is a rare opportunity to join a breakout food brand at a pivotal stage of growth. Led by CEO Peter Rahal, Cofounder and Former CEO of RXBAR, and President Michael Tierney, Founder and Former CEO of Stuffed Puffs, HallPass brings together deep experience building and scaling category-defining consumer brands.

HallPass is working to reimagine one of the largest and most iconic categories in food, proving that better nutrition doesn’t have to come at the expense of taste or price. With national distribution and ambitious plans to expand our product portfolio and retail presence, HallPass is working to become a leading candy brand in the U.S. and beyond.

Role & Responsibilities:

This role owns how HallPass shows up every day in our organic channels, our creator partnerships, and the social-first publishers that break snack news.

You’ll help define our voice on social, run our channels, own our influencer program end to end, and report on what’s working. It’s ideal for someone with strong brand instincts and native fluency in internet culture. You are equally comfortable writing a caption that lands, negotiating a creator deal, and presenting performance to leadership.

Content & Reporting

• Brief content into the creative and external partners

• CPG, food, or consumer brand experience preferred
