Lead Rep & Social Media Manager – Social Societies Australia

Part-Time | Sydney, NSW | Flexible Hours

Social Societies Australia is looking for a Lead Rep & Social Media Manager to take ownership of our Sydney Society and help us grow our events, social media and community.

This is a great role for someone who loves TikTok, social media, nightlife, events and meeting new people — and who can take initiative without needing to be told exactly what to do.

You’ll work closely with me, the owner, remotely. I’m not based in Sydney, so I want someone who will genuinely treat the Sydney Society as your baby as much as mine.

📱 Social Media – Around 12 hours per month

Your social media hours are completely flexible. I don’t mind when you work them, as long as content is going out consistently and our events are being promoted.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Creating regular TikToks, Instagram Stories and social media posts
• Keeping up with TikTok trends and turning them into content for Social Societies
• Promoting our events in relevant Sydney Facebook groups
• Engaging with comments and helping drive ticket sales
• Reaching out to Sydney-based content creators and offering free event tickets in exchange for content
• Coming up with creative ways to get more people interested in our events
• Helping grow our Sydney social media presence and community
• Working closely with me on the wider Social Societies Australia social media strategy

You’ll have support from me with the generic Social Societies Australia socials, so you won’t be expected to do every single social media task for the business within your hours.

If you’re really good at this and what you’re doing is helping us fill events, I’m very open to increasing your social media hours.

🍻 Lead Rep – Sydney Events

You’ll also be our Lead Rep for our Sydney bar crawls, which run every other Saturday from approximately 6:45pm–11:15pm.

I’d ideally like our Lead Rep to attend around 80% of our events, but I’m a very flexible boss and I’m not going to make it impossible for you to have a Saturday off if there’s an event, trip or something else you really want to do.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Leading and supporting our team of Sydney reps
• Making sure the night runs smoothly
• Training new reps to a really high standard
• Creating a fun, welcoming atmosphere for guests
• Being the main point of contact for the rep team during events
• Making sure our reps are confident and know exactly what they’re doing
• Looking after our event equipment, including mics, digital camera, stamps, flags and other accessories
• Taking photos and videos throughout the night for our socials
• Helping create an amazing experience for everyone who comes along

A big part of this role is building a team that you can trust. I want you to train the other reps so well that they can confidently run events without you when you’re unavailable.

👀 Who we're looking for

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Naturally outgoing, confident and friendly
• Creative and proactive
• Comfortable creating TikToks and social media content
• Confident using TikTok, CapCut and Canva
• Someone who understands social media trends
• Able to come up with content ideas without needing constant direction
• Organised, reliable and responsible
• Comfortable leading a team
• Happy working independently and remotely
• Excited by events, nightlife, travel and meeting new people
• Someone who takes ownership and doesn’t need to be micromanaged
• A good communicator who can work closely with the owner remotely

Previous experience in social media, events, hospitality, nightlife or content creation is a bonus, but personality and initiative are much more important to us.

🎁 Benefits

• 💰 Paid monthly
• ⏰ Flexible working hours
• 🍻 Free drinks while working events
• 🎟️ Free Social Societies event tickets
• 🎨 Canva & CapCut memberships provided
• ✈️ 30% off Social Societies group trips abroad
• 💸 Personalised affiliate discount code so you can earn commission on tickets you personally promote
• 🤝 Support and training from the owner
• 📈 Opportunity for additional paid social media hours as the role grows
• 🌴 A genuinely fun, flexible and social job

🌏 About Social Societies Australia

Social Societies Australia runs social events, bar crawls and group trips designed to help people meet new friends, have fun and make the most of their time in Australia.

We’re building communities for backpackers, working holiday makers, students, travellers and young people in Australia — and we want our Sydney Society to be the place people go when they want to meet people and have a good time.

You’ll have a lot of freedom in this role, but with that comes real responsibility and ownership. I’m looking for someone I can trust to take the reins in Sydney and help make it the best social community in the city.

If you’re creative, confident, social and think you’d absolutely smash this role, we’d love to hear from you!

We anticipate that we will receive a lot of enquiries for this role and note that only applicants that we are interested in interviewing will be contacted to progress to the next stage.
