Social Media Manager - Hip Hop (@Bars) - RapTV

We aspire to be the definitive home for next-generation superfans in music & culture.

The future is a world where we're undeniably the leader in social-first brand building. Obsession has driven perfection in tailoring our content to audience passion points and we've transformed followers into fiercely loyal community members.

We've bridged the gap from the digital to the physical world, providing our communities with unforgettable experiences and products that define culture. We've become the go-to platform for artists to amplify their stories, distribute their music, and partner with brands.

Low Battery is a network of nine social-first brands with an audience of over 50 million. We're where the next generation of superfans comes for entertainment related to music and culturally relevant content. Our brands span music, fashion, gaming, news, and more.

Making our ambitious vision a reality will not be easy. So we don't hide the truth…it's not easy to work here. We're bringing together a special team obsessed with their work and cultivating a culture characterized by many things, including but not limited to:

- Big ambitions matched by uncommon hard work & commitment;

- A high degree of autonomy and a builders mindset: Stop complaining, Start solving;

- Radical obsession over our audiences;

- Uncompromisingly high standards for quality & creativity;

- Relentless accountability & ownership;

- Overwhelming transparency matched with direct communication & feedback;

- A-typical encouragement of failure & learning;

- Desperate pursuit of truth and goals as opposed to looking good;

Our company culture will indeed evolve over time, but many of these values are fundamental to what we do and who we are and, - therefore, will not change. Every day, we strive to live as closely to these values as we can, and of course, it doesn't always happen.

We're still very early in the journey. Paddling out to catch the big wave. So it's an exciting time balanced by the reality that creating something special is uncommon and requires uncommon commitment.

For those with similar ideals come be uncommon with us — we look forward to meeting and working with you!
