How to Apply for Social Media & Content Manager (Individual Contributor)

at Charge Point

🏢 About Charge Point

ChargePoint is the world's largest open EV charging network, uniquely positioned to accelerate the transition to electric mobility. As an industry leader, you'll shape the narrative for a category that is critical to sustainability and innovation.

About This Role

As the Social Media & Content Manager, you'll own the voice of ChargePoint across digital channels, translating complex EV technology into compelling stories that drive pipeline and brand leadership. This is a hands-on, creative role where you'll capture real-time content at HQ and collaborate with executives to define category thought leadership.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with reviewing social analytics and planning content for the week, then heading to the HQ garage to film a quick interview with an engineer about a new charger feature. After editing the video in-house, you'll coordinate with the agency on a LinkedIn ad campaign and draft a LinkedIn post for the CEO about a policy win, all while monitoring real-time engagement and adjusting the content calendar.

🎯 Who Charge Point Is Looking For

  • A B2B social media strategist with 5-10 years of experience, skilled at turning technical concepts (like charging infrastructure, grid integration) into engaging content that resonates with fleet managers, utilities, and business decision-makers.
  • A self-sufficient content creator who can shoot and edit video, conduct interviews, and produce polished assets on the fly, without relying on a full production crew.
  • Data-driven and analytical, using social listening and performance metrics to optimize content and prove ROI for pipeline generation.
  • A strong project manager who can juggle multiple campaigns, coordinate with agency partners, and align social content with broader marketing and executive communication goals.

📝 Tips for Applying to Charge Point

1

In your portfolio, include examples of B2B social content that simplified complex topics (e.g., explaining EV charging levels or network interoperability) and drove measurable engagement or leads.

2

Tailor your resume to highlight hands-on content capture (video, photography, interviews) and show how you've used these skills to humanize a technical brand.

3

Research ChargePoint's recent campaigns (e.g., #ChargeForward) and mention in your cover letter how you would build on their category leadership narrative.

4

Quantify your impact: use metrics like engagement rate increase, pipeline influenced, or content production volume (e.g., 'Produced 50+ videos annually').

5

Show you understand the EV ecosystem: mention knowledge of charging standards, key competitors (Tesla, Electrify America), and the role of policy in adoption.

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

["Your passion for sustainability and EV adoption, and how that aligns with ChargePoint's mission.", 'Specific examples of translating technical B2B concepts into engaging social content (e.g., a whitepaper turned into a video series).', 'Your ability to work independently as an individual contributor, capturing content and managing projects end-to-end.', 'Experience supporting executive thought leadership on social media (e.g., ghostwriting LinkedIn posts for C-suite).']

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Submitting a generic application without mentioning EV or sustainability – show genuine interest in the industry.
  • Focusing only on B2C social media experience – emphasize B2B or technical content skills.
  • Not including a portfolio or examples of video/photography work – this role requires content creation, not just strategy.
