Get Paid to Make Horsepower Look Good

Sexton & Co. is a performance marketing agency for brands that run on race gas: automotive performance, aftermarket parts, off-road, and powersports. Our clients sell what people want, not what they need. Bigger turbos. Louder exhausts. Long-travel suspension. Bikes that absolutely rip.

We engineer revenue for those brands, and a lot of it starts with organic content. This seat is where that content gets made.

If your camera roll is 40% other people’s builds, you read forum threads for fun, and you have strong opinions about wheel fitment, keep reading.

The Role

You’ll work directly with our Editorial Director and Senior Social Media Coordinator, the two people driving content strategy and production across our client accounts and the Sexton & Co. brand. You report to the Editorial Director. Your job is to take work off their plates: building, editing, scheduling, and posting content across multiple client accounts so it goes out on time and on brand, every time.

You’ll also feed our Media Buyer. Your best organic posts become paid ads, so what you make here does double duty: it builds the audience and it sells the parts.

This is an entry-level seat with a real growth track. Advancement here isn’t about how long you’ve been around. It’s about what you learn, the skills you build, and the value you bring. Grow into the next role and you move into it, with the pay to match.

What You'll Do

Execute the plan

Build posts from approved content plans: Reels, carousels, graphics, photo posts, and Stories
Work with our video editor to create Reels from client footage, shop clips, and event content, and own the final output before it posts
Write captions in each brand’s voice that sound like an enthusiast wrote them, not a marketing department
Post Stories daily on every assigned account

Stay ahead of the clock

Own the Loomly calendar for your accounts: load every post with its assets, captions, and platform details, and make sure it publishes on time and looks right on every platform
Manage client approvals in Loomly: respond to client comments and feedback quickly, make the revisions, and flag anything that changes the plan to the Editorial Director
Keep a 7-day buffer of approved, scheduled content on every account
Keep assets, drafts, and files organized so anyone on the team can see what’s going out next

Multiply what works

Use our AI workflows to turn one strong piece of content into several: new hooks, caption variations, carousels, Story frames
Flag your top organic performers each week so the Media Buyer can test them as paid ads

Read the numbers

Track reach, saves, shares, profile visits, and link clicks on your accounts
Bring a short weekly report to the Editorial Director: what worked, what flopped, and one idea worth testing

Keep leveling up

Complete onboarding, required reading, and skills reviews
Show up ready for weekly coaching and monthly planning
Stay current on platform features, formats, and trends without being told to

What Winning Looks Like

You’re winning when the Editorial Director never has to chase you and the content goes out right the first time. These are the numbers you’ll be reviewed on:

Approved plan posts published on schedule: 100%
Stories posted on every assigned account: Daily
Scheduled content buffer on every account: 7+ days
Posts approved without major revisions: 80%+
Tasks delivered on time: 95%+
Top performers flagged for paid testing: Weekly
Performance report delivered: Weekly

By day 90: you’re fully trained on our content system, running your assigned client accounts plus the Sexton & Co. brand on your own, and holding the 7-day buffer.
