We’re building a social department that sets the standard, and we need the right director to lead the way.

Role Category
At Pursuit Digital, we’re looking for a Director of Social Media to step into the top seat of social. This is a hands-on role right now (you’ll lead strategy and execution yourself), but as Pursuit grows, you’ll be the one scaling the department and building your own team.
This isn’t just another “content creator” job. It’s a leadership path for someone hungry to grow, deeply invested in social, and ready to represent Pursuit with excellence in front of clients.
What You’ll Do
- Lead social strategy, content planning, and campaign execution.
- Write captions, design graphics (Canva preferred, Adobe a plus), and schedule posts.
- Partner with our video team to execute high-quality content.
- Attend content shoots to guide social direction and support production.
- Communicate directly with clients, presenting strategy, results, and recommendations.
- Manage campaigns end-to-end and track performance for ongoing improvement.
Why You’ll Love This Role
- Step directly into ownership of Pursuit’s entire social media offering.
- Work closely with our in-house video team to create content most agencies only dream of.
- Be the trusted social advisor for our clients, the one they rely on for clarity, creativity, and results.
- Play a key role in shaping how Pursuit delivers social long-term.
- Grow into leadership as you scale the department.
Why Pursuit is Different
We are a faith-driven agency. Our Christian values shape how we treat clients and each other: honesty, humility, and excellence. If that resonates with you, you’ll feel right at home here.
- A small, close-knit team that genuinely cares about each other.
- A clean, modern office with plenty of natural light.
- PTO + paid holidays, weekly pay, and a stable work environment.
- Most work is Knoxville-based, with just enough travel to keep things interesting.
You’ll Fit Right In If
- You’re passionate about social media strategy and client relationships.
- You’re organized, detail-oriented, and thrive on keeping systems sharp.
- You love collaborating with creative teams and bringing ideas to life.
- You’re confident presenting to clients and owning the room.
- You’re hungry to grow into leadership and build a team in the future.
What It Takes
- Proven experience managing social media for businesses.
- Strong client-facing communication skills.
- Graphic design experience (Canva preferred, Adobe a plus).
- Ability to manage multiple clients and projects at once.
- Reliable transportation for client meetings and content shoots.
- Must live in or near Knoxville year-round.
Bonus Points
- Photography or photo editing skills.
- Familiarity with video or paid ads.
- Comfortable being on camera occasionally.
The Details
- Full-time (40+ hours per week).
- Local travel for shoots (within ~50 miles).
- Salary range of $55,000 – $60,000, with opportunities for bonuses.
- 3 weeks of PTO + paid holidays.
- Weekly pay with direct deposit.
