• Portfolio or social handles demonstrating successful audience-building content.
• Excellent storytelling and creative judgment to produce entertaining, informative, and shareable content.
• Ability to pitch ideas confidently and collaborate cross-functionally.
• Bias toward action and experimentation, including A/B testing of formats, hooks, and thumbnails.
• Knowledge of platform-specific content strategies and ability to stay current with cultural and digital trends.
• Comfortable both behind and occasionally in front of the camera.
• Bonus: Experience in the creator economy or SaaS industries is highly desirable.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation: $150,000 – $220,000 USD, plus equity.
• Fully remote work from anywhere in the world.
