Social Content Manager

About Chompshop

Chompshop creates hands-on tools for the next wave of builders, inventors, and problem-solvers. Its flagship product, ChompSaw, is a kid-safe cutting tool for cardboard that helps young makers turn ideas into real projects using their own hands. The company was started four years ago by Kausi and Max, graduates of the Integrated Product Design Master’s program at UPenn.

Since launch, the brand has grown from a Kickstarter campaign to a Shark Tank appearance, earned the “Creative Toy of the Year” award, and shipped more than 100,000 ChompSaws to maker spaces, schools, museums, and homes worldwide.

The team is small, fast-moving, and driven by curiosity, resilience, creativity, and design-led thinking. They value experimentation, learning from mistakes, and building a community around making.

Role Overview

Chompshop is hiring a full-time Social Content Manager to own its brand presence across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, and Facebook. The role also includes growing influencer partnerships and managing the affiliate program.
