About The Position

If you’re the kind of person who sees a trend and immediately thinks “how can I make this work for my client?”, this role is for you. You won’t just be posting content, you’ll be shaping how brands show up, connect, and grow in real time. We’re hiring a Social Media Strategist who lives and breathes social. You’re equal parts trend whisperer, strategist, and executor, someone who can turn client goals into platform-native content that actually gets attention. This is a strategy-first, execution-heavy role for someone who can spot a trend on Monday and have it live for three clients by Friday. You know how to read the data, trust your instincts, and pivot quickly to improve performance. You’ll own the full lifecycle of social: from ideation and content calendars to creative briefs, copywriting, publishing, and community management. You’re not just posting, you’re building brands, driving conversation, and making content that people actually care about. If you’re someone who loves seeing strategy come to life in real time and knows how to make a feed pop while backing it up with data, this role gives you the ownership and creative freedom to do it. (Bonus: If you can edit video or design graphics, amazing. But your strategic brain is the real MVP.)
