About the Role
We are seeking a visionary Social Media Manager to spearhead the digital growth of Chef Nikolas Laios—Executive Chef at Bio-Hotel Stanglwirt and Chef of the Year 2026. This is not a standard culinary role; you will be managing an ambitious global movement centered on Mediterranean culture, longevity, and Blue Zone philosophies. Your mission is to scale a personal brand that has already grown from 1,000 to 20,000 followers in six months, while simultaneously elevating the presence of Laios Olive Oil, an ultra-premium brand with heritage dating back to 1938. As the voice of a BBC-featured chef, you will bridge the gap between high-end gastronomy and wellness, reaching a global audience hungry for authenticity and purpose.
Key Responsibilities- Execute daily high-volume posting across Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and YouTube, managing a consistent schedule of 2+ videos per day.
- Oversee the distinct identities of two brands: the personal brand of Chef Nikolas Laios and the commercial brand of Laios Olive Oil.
- Craft sophisticated, soulful English captions that resonate with themes of heritage, nutrition, and world-class gastronomy.
- Translate complex concepts such as Blue Zone principles and food-as-medicine into accessible, viral, and engaging social content.
- Manage all aspects of community engagement, hashtag strategy, and platform-specific growth tactics to foster a loyal global audience.
- Provide comprehensive monthly growth reports, utilizing data to refine content strategy and maximize organic reach.
- Maintain a fast-paced publishing pipeline including Reels, Stories, Shorts, and long-form video content.
- Proven track record of scaling accounts on Instagram and TikTok; candidates must provide verifiable growth data and case studies.
- Exceptional English copywriting skills with the ability to write with depth, emotion, and cultural nuance.
- Deep understanding of Mediterranean lifestyle, cuisine, and longevity principles; this knowledge is core to the brand's identity.
- Experience managing high-profile personal brands or luxury lifestyle products in the wellness, hospitality, or culinary sectors.
- Proactive mindset with the ability to function as a strategist and storyteller, not just a content scheduler.
- Strong proficiency in short-form video publishing and a keen eye for aesthetic excellence.
- Ability to work 15–20 hours per week with a high degree of commitment and responsiveness.
- Flexible, 100% remote working schedule designed to support a healthy work-life balance.
- Competitive monthly stipend of €300–€500 based on experience and results.
- Opportunity to be part of a rapidly scaling global brand with significant long-term career growth potential.
- Direct collaboration with a world-renowned chef and culinary innovator.
- A purpose-driven work environment focused on health, healing, and cultural heritage.
