Real opportunities. Real impact. Your career, redefined.

(NOTE: A human reviews every application at Oceans, so please apply for only one position and only once a year—if you’re a better fit for another role, we’ll route your application accordingly and if we’re not quite ready for you, we’ll reach back out later).

At Oceans, we help the best and brightest of Sri Lanka to take advantage of opportunities that otherwise wouldn’t be available to them, while supporting entrepreneurs around the world. Our community (we call them Divers) don’t do surface work—they go deep to solve complex challenges and make a real impact. And in doing so, they support bold ideas and expand their skills, broaden their expertise, and grow their careers, all without having to leave family and friends.

We’re looking for a Social Media Marketer who knows how to build conversations—not just audiences. In this role, you’ll be responsible for crafting authentic content, growing communities, and sparking engagement across multiple social platforms. Whether it’s launching a campaign or responding to followers in real time, you’ll be at the heart of digital storytelling for fast-scaling brands.

This role is perfect for creative thinkers who are deeply plugged into culture, understand platform nuances, and know how to turn scrolls into clicks, and clicks into conversions.

Accountability

As a Social Media Marketer, your success will be defined by your ability to create compelling content, foster meaningful community interactions, and turn social engagement into measurable growth. Here’s how you’ll make an impact:

Strategy & Planning

• Develop and implement multi-platform social media strategies that align with brand goals and community growth targets.
• Create detailed content calendars and maintain a consistent publishing schedule aligned with campaign objectives.

Content Creation & Execution

• Create, curate, and manage high-quality content (images, videos, reels, carousels, and copy) tailored for each platform.
• Ensure content reflects the brand’s voice, is visually cohesive, and stays ahead of digital trends.
• Collaborate with designers, writers, or creators to bring ideas to life – UGC included.

Community Building & Engagement

• Foster vibrant, supportive communities by responding to comments, questions, and DMs in brand-aligned tone.
• Identify and engage with brand advocates, influencers, and potential partners to boost reach and credibility.
• Lead sentiment tracking and maintain brand health across all platforms.

Performance & Reporting

• Monitor engagement, reach, impressions, clicks, and conversions using native and third-party tools.
• Deliver insights-rich performance reports with actionable recommendations.
• Stay updated on platform algorithms, best practices, and compliance to keep strategies relevant.

Colleagues

You’ll collaborate directly with a U.S.-based client and their internal team – which may include brand leads, content strategists, designers, and growth marketers – to help their business grow through community-led and content-driven social media strategies.

At Oceans, you’ll also receive guidance and support from your Operations Manager, who will help you succeed in the role and ensure that you’re continuously growing and developing in your career.

At Oceans, we believe in T-shaped individuals—those who bring deep expertise in one area, paired with broad curiosity and interests. As a Social Media Marketer, your vertical focus will be community building and platform content creation, while your horizontal strengths span visual storytelling, campaign planning, and engagement analysis.

To excel in this role, you should have:
