Social Media Coordinator

About The Olde Mecklenburg Brewery The Olde Mecklenburg Brewery is Charlotte’s oldest brewery, founded on the German brewing tradition and the Reinheitsgebot (the 1516 Bavarian Purity Law). We brew German-style beers and operate two Brauhaus restaurant locations — our original home in Lo. So and our second location in Ballantyne — with a third under construction in Mount Holly.

We also have an outpost at Charlotte Douglas International Airport. Our beer is sold exclusively in the Carolinas. Our brand is confident, rooted, and unfussy. We take the beer seriously and we take the experience seriously — the biergarten, the food, the community. We are not chasing trends. We are building something that lasts.

The Role We’re looking for a Social Media Coordinator to own OMB’s digital presence across Instagram, Facebook, our website, and any other digital channels. This is an entry-level position, but entry-level at OMB means you’re running the show — you’ll be the person responsible for how our brand shows up online every single day.

You’ll create content, manage our social channels, maintain the website, and tell the story of what makes OMB different. You’ll work across both Brauhaus locations and collaborate with our kitchen, taproom, events, and leadership teams to capture and share what’s happening at OMB in a way that’s authentic, consistent, and drives people through the door.

This role is based at our Lo. So location but requires regular presence at Ballantyne and, once open, Mount Holly. Some evening and weekend work is expected — our busiest, most content-worthy moments happen when the biergarten is full, the music is playing, and the sun is setting.
