Profil recherché
- You think in content series instead of one-off posts. You bookmark weird TikToks for inspiration. You know the difference between chasing a trend and creating one. You understand that the comments section can be just as valuable as the post itself- We're looking for someone who knows great social isn't built in approval meetings-it's built by people who understand culture, trust their instincts, and know when to throw the playbook out the window
- You're excited about AI because it helps you create better work-not because it replaces creativity. You use it to brainstorm, spot patterns, automate the repetitive stuff, analyze what's resonating, and spend more time making ideas people actually care about
- You have strong creative instincts, good judgment, and know when to move fast, when to take a risk, and when to leave the trend alone
- Experience building content strategies that combine original creative, creators, user-generated content, and community
- A portfolio that makes us say, "Wait...you did that?"
- Strong creative instincts balanced with a healthy respect for data
- The ability to zoom out and think strategically while still getting excited about writing the perfect caption or jumping into the comments
- Deep understanding of today's social platforms, creator economy, internet culture, and how people actually consume content
- Experience using AI throughout the creative process-from ideation and research to workflow automation, content production, social listening, and performance analysis
- Experience leading social media and content strategy for a consumer-facing brand with work that drove meaningful business impact
- Experience leading and developing high-performing teams, agencies, or creators
- Must love dogs
- A bias toward experimentation, curiosity, and finding smarter ways to work
