Social Media Manager

Overview: Make the Farren brand connect with athletes everywhere.

Athletes can tell in two seconds whether a brand actually trains. They can tell from the cue in the caption, the way the reply sounds, and whether the coach in the video looks like they want to be there. They decide fast, and they don’t come back.We need someone who gets it right in those two seconds, every day.

About Farren

Our mission is to make elite-level coaching accessible, flexible, and built for longevity.We’re led by proven founders and team from TrainHeroic, TrainingPeaks, Whoop, and Wahoo.

We’re moving fast, and building to last.

The role

You’ll run Farren’s social channels and our collaborations with the Coach Collective day to day. Our coaches are the heart of this brand, and they already create great content. Your job is to work with them, turn their expertise into content our audience trusts, and make Farren’s own channels feel just as real.

You’ll report to our Head of Content & Lifecycle, who sets the pillars and funnel strategy. You’ll work alongside our Creative Director and Media Producers on high-craft work, and you’ll own the speed, the community, and the relationships that make social work.

This is a hands-on role. You’ll post, reply, shoot, edit, and show up in the community every day.
