Title:
Neighborhood Social Media Manager – The Arts District, Norwalk
Description:
We are three neighboring businesses located in the heart of Norwalk’s trendy, up-and-coming Arts District in the Wall Street neighborhood:
- Bar Bushido: A lively Japanese Izakaya known for its creative, shareable plates and vibrant, energetic vibe — a place where great cocktails and a fun atmosphere come together.
- Salon Etre: A high-end salon focused on luxury, style, and self-care.
- Greer Southern Table: A warm, inviting Southern restaurant known for hospitality and culinary creativity.
We’re looking for a dynamic, creative, and trend-savvy social media manager to help us stand out in the neighborhood and build our online presence — across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube.
This is a unique opportunity to manage social media for three distinctive businesses while also promoting the vibrant Arts District community. Our neighborhood is home to two accredited art schools (Norwalk Conservatory of the Arts and Factory Underground), music venues, design centers, bars, restaurants, yoga studios, tattoo shops, chocolate shops, pottery classes, glass welding, antique stores — and even a beautiful River Walk Trail. We want you to help us share all of it with the world!
