OMI is the worldwide leader in odor elimination chemistry with industrial, consumer, and commercial applications. This role will work primarily with our consumer brand, Fresh Wave.
At OMI, we're not looking for someone to simply "manage social" for Fresh Wave. We're looking for someone to build it into a growth engine.
Fresh Wave is a fast-growing consumer brand redefining odor elimination—without toxic chemicals. We're expanding rapidly across retail, Amazon, and DTC, and social is a critical lever for where we're going next. This role is for someone who thinks in content, not calendars, understands what makes people stop scrolling, and wants to create, test, and scale ideas that actually drive business.
You'll have real ownership, real autonomy, and a real opportunity to shape how a brand shows up in the world. Success means producing content that gets watched, shared, and saved, and being able to point to specific posts and say, "That drove real business impact."
This is a hybrid role based in Chicago, located steps away from the Palatine Metra station for an easy commute from the city or other UPNW train locations. In-office work is required Tuesday through Thursday.
OMI offers a safe and friendly work environment with a jam-packed social calendar, including Cubs tickets, happy hours, and holiday parties. We are unmatched in our hands-on and financial commitments to Chicago non-profit partners; making a difference in our communities is a top priority.
To apply, please submit your resume and a portfolio or examples of content you have created that performed well. We are looking for candidates who can demonstrate strong instincts for hooks, storytelling, and pacing.
