Community Manager

Company Description

Chemistry is a team of passionate, dynamic, and creative trailblazers, redefining how brands connect with people in a world where social media shapes culture, conversations, and communities. We believe brands shouldn’t just push out content on platforms - they should build platforms where people are excited to engage, connect, and share. By blending deep category expertise, local insights, and a sharp instinct for social, we help brands evolve from simply being 'social' to becoming truly 'social-first.' We turn attention into action, followers into fans, and brands into cultural forces that drive real business results. We’re looking for a Senior Planner, someone who can mix insights with imagination to create campaigns that are anything but basic. If you’re ready to transform strategies into compelling narratives that create meaningful connections, then you belong with us.
