Huckleberry Labs is hiring a remote Social Media Manager for a three-month contract focused on TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, content planning, community management, and performance reporting.
The part-time job pays $38 to $50 per hour for 20 hours per week. It is a specialized opportunity for an experienced social media professional, not a beginner role: applicants need at least three years of hands-on consumer-brand social media management and recent portfolio examples from all three priority platforms.
The official listing labels the position remote and the application asks whether candidates are legally eligible to work in the United States and whether they need visa sponsorship. It does not name eligible states or a required daily schedule.
The official application was active when checked on August 28, 2026. Lever job ID: 859e708d-ba44-4c40-b3a3-64b7dc5777e2.
What Is Huckleberry Labs?
Huckleberry makes a parenting app that combines pediatric expertise, technology, and artificial intelligence to help families understand sleep, feeding, development, and other childhood patterns.
The company says more than five million families use its products. Its public site is especially known for baby tracking and customized sleep guidance.
The Social Media Manager supports the consumer brand across TikTok, Instagram, and Reddit. The role combines strategy and hands-on execution: planning what the company should publish, managing the creative process, responding to its online community, and reporting which content is working.
Pay and Benefits
Huckleberry lists an hourly range of $38-$50 for 20 hours per week. At the listed schedule, that equals approximately $760-$1,000 per week before taxes, although actual weekly pay depends on the approved hours and rate.
This is a three-month, part-time contract, not a permanent full-time employee position. The listing does not mention health insurance, paid time off, retirement benefits, paid holidays, equipment, or a home-office stipend.
Contractors should ask how invoices and payments work, whether hours can vary by week, whether the contract can be extended, and whether they are responsible for their own equipment, software, insurance, and taxes.
Job Highlight: Social Media Manager
The manager helps build Huckleberry's social content calendar and turns that plan into posts across TikTok, Instagram, and Reddit. Depending on the project, the person may create content directly or brief and coordinate other creative contributors.
Community management is also central. The manager responds to comments and direct messages in the brand's voice and works with product and customer support teams when a response needs specialized or sensitive information.
The job is not only content production. Huckleberry also expects regular reporting that connects platform results to broader business outcomes. Strong candidates should be able to identify patterns, explain what is or is not working, and adjust the content plan based on evidence.
Key Responsibilities
- Help develop the social media calendar and publishing plan.
- Plan content for TikTok, Instagram, and Reddit.
- Lead creative production by briefing others or creating content directly.
- Maintain a consistent brand voice across posts, comments, and direct messages.
- Respond to the online community and escalate sensitive questions appropriately.
- Coordinate with brand, creative, product, and customer support teammates.
- Maintain weekly or biweekly social performance reporting.
- Connect content performance to broader brand and business outcomes.
- Track platform trends, culture, and format changes.
- Use tools such as Asana, Canva, and Hootsuite.
Qualifications
Huckleberry requires:
- At least three years of hands-on social media management for a consumer brand
- At least one year owning day-to-day brand social activity, including calendar, publishing, and community management
- Experience across Instagram, TikTok, and Reddit
- Portfolio examples from the past 12 months for all three platforms
- Caption and short-form copy examples that demonstrate a consistent brand voice
- Experience responding to comments and direct messages for a brand
- Ability to escalate sensitive issues and coordinate responses across teams
- Working knowledge of Canva or a comparable design tool
- Working knowledge of Hootsuite or a comparable scheduling tool
- Working knowledge of Asana or a comparable project-management tool
- Ability to build and maintain a weekly or biweekly reporting process
- Availability to start within two weeks and work 20 hours per week for three months
The listing does not state a college-degree requirement, but it does require substantial, recent, platform-specific experience. A strong portfolio is essential.

Location and Schedule
The official listing labels the role Remote and lists Los Angeles, California on the job page. The application asks whether candidates are legally eligible to work in the United States and whether they need current or future visa sponsorship. It does not specify which U.S. states are eligible, so applicants outside California should confirm location eligibility.
The contract requires 20 hours per week for three months and availability to start within two weeks. The listing does not state fixed workdays, core hours, a time-zone requirement, weekend work, travel, or meeting frequency.
The core duties are digital and written, but Huckleberry does not promise a phone-free or meeting-free job. Applicants should ask how the 20 hours are scheduled and how often live meetings or calls occur.
Closing Notes
This opening may fit an experienced social media manager who has current consumer-brand examples on TikTok, Instagram, and Reddit and wants a short-term, part-time remote contract.
The biggest advantages are the $38-$50 hourly range, 20-hour weekly commitment, remote designation, and focused three-month scope. The biggest catches are the three-year experience requirement, mandatory recent portfolio across three platforms, lack of stated benefits, unclear state eligibility, and short contract duration.
This is not an entry-level social media job. Applicants should expect the portfolio and platform-specific experience to matter more than generic marketing experience.
