Social Media Manager

Written By Shapely Staff

Shapely was founded in 2014 by Iya Thomas to provide a need. At the time plus size events were elusive. If you were looking for plus size friendly events you needed to visit many different resources thus, Shapely was created and since our inception we have been the superior online directory for plus size friendly events.

Since then, we have expanded into developing premium multimedia content and information relevant to the plus size community. As we scale our business in 2022 and on to 2023, we are looking for talented individuals who love plus size people, content and events to join our team.

Social Media Managers play a pivotal part in supporting Shapely with achieving its mission.
