This isn't a role for someone who wants to manage a content calendar from the sidelines. It's for someone who wants to be inside the work - creating, connecting, and building something they're genuinely proud of.

Temple of the Sun is a Byron Bay-founded fine jewellery brand with a growing global community, a stunning Sydney flagship, and a creative team that cares deeply about every detail. We're looking for a Social Media Manager who brings the same energy.

The Role

Based in Sydney, you'll own the social presence of Temple of the Sun across all channels - Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, Facebook, and whatever comes next. You'll work closely with our Sydney store team to bring the brand to life through events, collaborations, and in-store content that feels real because it is. You'll brief and collaborate with our Creative Director and team in Byron Bay, and day-to-day you'll be part of a tight Sydney-based group that includes our Head of Digital, CRM Specialist, and UX lead.

You understand how each platform works - not just what to post, but why certain content earns attention, how algorithms reward genuine engagement, and what it actually takes to move the needle. You think like a brand and act like a publisher. You have a PR mindset about everything you put into the world on Temple's behalf.

What You'll Do

Platform Strategy & Engagement

• Own the social strategy across all channels - always asking not just what to post, but why it will resonate and how to optimise for each platform's engagement mechanics.
• Stay ahead of algorithm shifts, format changes, and cultural moments that create opportunity for the brand.
• Monitor performance closely and use data to continually sharpen your approach - cadence, format, timing, tone.
• Build the kind of engaged, loyal community that reflects everything Temple of the Sun stands for.

Content Creation & Collaboration

• Create content yourself - in-store with our Sydney team, at events, and in the field - as well as brief and coordinate with the Creative team in Byron Bay.
• Write social copy and captions that are sharp, on-brand, and earn engagement rather than just existing.
• Work with the Creative Director on campaigns, launches, and brand moments to ensure social always reflects the broader creative vision.
• Manage the content calendar, shoot coordination, and publishing - ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.

Events, Collaborations & Influencer Programme

• Partner with the Sydney store to create activations, in-store events, and collaborative moments that generate real social content and community energy.
• Own the influencer programme from end to end - identifying the right voices, briefing them well, and maintaining authentic, lasting relationships.
• Lead brand collaborations from outreach to completion, managing timelines and content output with professionalism and warmth.
• Develop a geo-targeted influencer strategy that supports Temple's wholesale and retail markets.

Reporting & AI-Assisted Workflows

• Track and report on KPIs across all platforms - translating data into clear, actionable recommendations for the wider team.
• Use AI tools effectively to optimise your workflow, generate ideas, brief content, and keep everything moving efficiently.
• Manage the influencer and partnership budget with accuracy and transparency.

Who You Are

• You have proven experience managing social platforms professionally - ideally in fashion, jewellery, or lifestyle - and a portfolio that demonstrates real results.
• You understand engagement deeply: what drives it on each platform, why some content earns a community and some doesn't, and how to adapt your approach accordingly.
• You're a content creator as well as a strategist - comfortable getting in front of (or behind) the camera with the store team.
• You have a PR mindset: you think about how every post, every partnership, and every caption contributes to the brand's reputation and reach.
• You can work confidently with a Creative Director - taking direction, contributing ideas, and knowing the difference between the two.
• You love the work. You love fashion, jewellery, and the kind of brands that mean something to people.
• You're genuinely excited about what AI can do for social - and you're already using it to work smarter.
• You're organised, proactive, and calm under pressure - you meet deadlines and communicate clearly when things shift.
• You thrive with agency. You don't need to be micromanaged. You take ownership and run.

The Team You're Joining

You'll be working alongside talented, self-motivated people who care about what they do. In Sydney: our Head of Digital & E-Commerce, CRM Specialist & UX lead, and the store team at our flagship in Byron Bay: our Creative Director and the wider creative team.

This is a team that pushes each other and backs each other. We're excited about where the brand is heading - and we want you to be part of building it.

What We Offer

• Real agency in your work - you'll own your channel and your outcomes.
• A genuinely creative environment where your ideas will be heard and your skills valued.
• The chance to grow with a brand that's going somewhere.
• A collaborative, passionate team that brings their whole selves to work.
• Generous jewellery discounts across our full collection.
• Competitive salary package.

• Mastery of Craftsmanship & Materials: Deep knowledge of traditional jewellery-making techniques, gemstone properties, and precious metal characteristics.
• Concept & Collection Development: Ability to develop compelling mood boards, themes, and design stories that guide seasonal and evergreen ranges.
• Technical Drawing & Design Proficiency: Strong hand illustration and technical drawing skills.
• Proficiency in CAD (Rhino 3D or Matrix Gold) for concept refinement and guiding CAD teams.
• Advanced Digital Design: Skilled in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator) to support design communication and visual merchandising.
• Range Architecture: Experience constructing commercially viable and strategically segmented collections that align with pricing architecture, customer profiles, and merchandising needs.
• Trend Forecasting: Ability to research and interpret emerging jewellery and fashion trends, and translate them into meaningful, relevant design concepts.
• Project Management: Highly organised with the ability to manage multiple timelines, collections, and design briefs across seasonal cycles.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Experience working with marketing, production, sales, and operations to ensure smooth and timely execution from concept to product launch.
• Sustainable & Ethical Sourcing: Understanding of sustainable materials and ethical supply chain principles, including the ability to contribute meaningfully to sourcing decisions.
  
  

Key Responsibilities & Focus Areas:

• Lead the end-to-end design process for new collections, from initial ideation through to final product sign-off.
• Direct and mentor CAD designers, providing detailed briefs, technical feedback, and creative direction to ensure each design reflects the Temple of the Sun aesthetic and meets quality
  standards.
• Collaborate with the Creative Director on brand-led design evolution, ensuring each collection is both artistically progressive and true to our identity.
• Oversee and work closely with the Product Development Manager to ensure smooth execution of product timelines, prototypes, supplier communication, and manufacturing feasibility.
• Provide input and oversight on material sourcing and pricing frameworks to ensure product is both high quality and commercially viable.
• Partner with the production team and in-house jewellers to refine complex or bespoke elements of new designs, ensuring manufacturability and durability.
• Support the marketing and e-commerce teams with product storytelling, launch campaign visuals, and any required creative assets.

• Maintain a forward-thinking, solutions-oriented approach to design challenges, proactively troubleshooting and refining product based on technical or commercial feedback.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs):

• Positive feedback from production, sales, marketing, and retail teams on design impact and commercial success.
• High CAD and prototype approval rates with minimal revisions due to clear, detailed briefing and design guidance.
• Effective management of the Product Development Manager, including successful coordination across departments and timely execution of design-to-market processes.
• Recognition of innovation and design excellence from both customers and internal stakeholders.
  

What We Offer:

• A highly competitive salary commensurate with the seniority and scope of this role.
• An opportunity to lead design at one of Australia’s fastest-growing jewellery brands.
• Generous staff discounts and annual gifting valued at $1,000.
• A $1,000 annual wellness allowance towards the program of your choice.
• A collaborative and purpose-driven workplace, five minutes from the beaches of Byron Bay.
