About the Role
The Social Media Manager will lead the day-to-day execution of SERHANT.'s social media strategy across its West Coast and western expansion markets. Based in the Los Angeles office, this person will serve as an embedded social media partner to regional brokerage leadership and agents while remaining closely connected to SERHANT.'s centralized content team.
