About Us

Our strong product market fit, prioritizing solving real problems for our customers, has resulted in a strong growth trajectory for the company.

We secured a 66 million dollar Series B in 2021.

At AfterShip, we are building a diverse and high-performing culture that encourages collaboration and experimentation on a global scale.

Even as a company with over 10 years under our belt and 450 AfterShippers across our 8 global offices, we embrace a dynamic and agile approach to our work.

We operate with a flat team structure, where you will have opportunities to contribute your ideas and take ownership over your work to create meaningful impact for the business and the customers we serve.

If you're looking for a vehicle to achieve your professional goals and work alongside fantastic teams, we invite you to join us.

Your Mission:

As a Social Media Specialist, you will play a pivotal role in shaping AfterShip's online presence and fostering community engagement with ecommerce merchants and technology partners.

This dynamic position requires a unique blend of storytelling prowess and relationship-building skills.

As the voice of our brand on social platforms, your mission will be to engage with our audience, partners, and community, telling the AfterShip story one post at a time.

The ideal Social Media Specialist is a strategic thinker with a knack for identifying creative angles and bringing them to life through captivating content.

You'll have experience both writing content and creating video, have a good eye for design, and understand the fundamentals of B2B SaaS marketing.

Your day-to-day? Crafting magnetic social media content for channels like LinkedIn and TikTok, working with internal stakeholders to support their initiatives, and reporting on our performance and making recommendations about where to take our social strategy next.

The Social Media Specialist is part of AfterShip's Global Marketing team.

There may be the need to work outside of regular office hours for team meetings or in order to collaborate with members of the team in APAC up to twice a week.

We're looking for someone who genuinely loves and understands eCommerce and the products we offer, so they can naturally and authentically communicate them to our customers.

Sound like you? Then we'd love to see you apply

Establish processes and standards for accepting requests from other teams at AfterShip by establishing strong working agreements with each.
Provide guidance, insight, and review for internal stakeholders in sales and partnerships to create their own social media posts promoting AfterShip.
Collaborate with the content marketing team to repurpose, promote, and distribute editorial content in our social channels.

Be the face of AfterShip and its brands across all key platforms in regards to shortform video.

A collaborative, teamdriven attitude, committed to shared goals, managing, and influencing great work across the marketing team.
