- Create and guide compelling content - from memes and viral-ready short-form videos to series concepts and thought-leadership posts - tailored for each platform.
- Analyze performance and report insights, iterating based on what’s working and optimizing for growth, engagement, and brand lift.
- Stay ahead of platform trends, emerging formats, and cultural conversations - and act quickly to capitalize on them.
- Work closely with product, design, and leadership teams to ensure brand voice, visual identity, and storytelling are cohesive and impactful.
What We're Looking For:
- 5+ years of experience in social media strategy, creator marketing, or content growth roles

- Exceptional writing and communication skills, with a strong sense of brand tone and voice
- Highly collaborative and proactive - able to move fast, test often, and adapt quickly
