About BizScout

BizScout ( is the modern marketplace for buying and selling small businesses. We're on a mission to make business acquisition as trusted, intuitive, and common as buying real estate. With a discreet, data-powered platform and a growing base of partner brokers, BizScout connects sellers of real, cash-flowing businesses with a new generation of buyers and investors.

As baby boomers retire and $11 trillion in small business ownership changes hands, we're building the digital infrastructure for the next era of entrepreneurship. Our goal: make business ownership a more mainstream, transparent, and accessible asset class.

The Role

We're hiring a Social Media Manager to lead our day-to-day social strategy — turning BizScout into the go-to brand for educational, engaging, and inspiring content about small business ownership.

You'll be responsible for growing our presence across LinkedIn, X (Twitter), Instagram, and Facebook — and helping us test emerging channels and formats. This is a hands-on role for a creative marketer who's equal parts strategist, writer, and content producer. You'll work closely with our Director of Marketing and leadership team to build a digital brand that feels human, high-trust, and high-impact.

If you've ever wanted to shape the voice of an early-stage company, experiment with bold content ideas, and turn social media into a true growth engine — this is your shot.

What You'll Do

  • Develop and execute BizScout's content strategy across LinkedIn, X, Instagram, and Facebook
  • Create and schedule daily content that blends business education, deal flow, success stories, and marketplace updates
  • Manage community engagement across platforms — responding to comments, building relationships, and sparking conversation
  • Work closely with our Head of Supply, broker partners, and marketing team to source story ideas and create original content
  • Track performance metrics and use insights to improve reach, engagement, and conversions
  • Experiment with new formats (threads, carousels, short-form video, behind-the-scenes content, etc.)
  • Maintain and evolve our brand voice: human, trustworthy, smart, and action-oriented

Who You Are

  • 2–4+ years managing social media for a brand, startup, or agency
  • Strong writing chops with the ability to translate complex topics into clear, punchy content
  • Deep familiarity with platform-native strategies (especially LinkedIn and X)
  • Creative mindset and a sharp eye for visual content, trends, and hooks
  • Self-starter who thrives in fast-paced environments and enjoys testing, learning, and iterating
  • Comfortable juggling multiple content streams and managing a calendar

Bonus If You…

  • Have experience in financial services, investing, B2B, or marketplaces
  • Know your way around Canva, CapCut, or other lightweight design/editing tools
  • Are familiar with the world of small business, M&A, or entrepreneurship
  • Have helped grow a social channel from early days to serious traction

Why BizScout?

We're building something that doesn't exist yet — a true, modern infrastructure for small business transactions. Our team is small but mighty, with leadership experience across marketplaces, private equity, and fintech. We move fast, think big, and deeply value creativity and ownership. You'll have a front-row seat to the early days of building a category-defining brand — and a real opportunity to shape how people discover and pursue small business ownership.
