About Kanto Audio
At Kanto, we believe great sound should feel approachable. Since 2007, we've designed speakers, turntables, and audio accessories that bring people and sound together. We create thoughtfully crafted audio products that blend high-fidelity performance with modern design, making it easier for more people to enjoy music, movies, and everything in between.
Earlier this year, we launched a new visual identity, product lineup, and website, marking the next chapter of the Kanto brand. As we continue to grow, we're looking for a creative, digital-first Social Media Specialist & Content Creator to help shape how we show up online and connect with our audience.
The Opportunity

Our office is located in Mount Pleasant?a design and engineering space with a listening room, workshop, testing area, an open office, and a view over Jonathan Rogers Park. It's where we develop products, debate the little details, listen to music, test ideas, and occasionally realize we should have posted more on Stories.
Working alongside our Marketing and Creative teams and reporting to the Director of Consumer Marketing, you'll create content that brings our products, brand, and personality to life across Instagram and TikTok. You'll have the freedom to experiment, test ideas, and learn what makes people stop scrolling while gaining firsthand experience inside a growing consumer electronics brand.
We're looking for someone with relevant, hands-on experience in social media management and content creation who understands what makes content resonate online. You live and breathe internet culture, can spot trends before everyone else, and know how to turn a simple product feature into content people actually want to watch.
