Remote (Canada) | Full-Time This role is for someone who lives and breathes social content. You know what makes someone stop scrolling. You understand the difference between content that looks good and content that connects with an audience. You can spot an emerging trend, develop an idea, and turn it into something worth watching, sharing, or talking about.

You're more than a designer or video editor. You're a creative thinker, storyteller, and maker who understands how brands need to show up across social platforms. You can take a brief from concept to execution, bringing together video, photography, design, copy, and sound to create content that feels native to the platform.

At ICUC, we manage social and community presence for some of the world's largest brands. In this role, you'll work alongside strategists, community managers, account teams, and clients to bring social content strategies to life. You'll help create content that doesn't just fill a calendar but gives audiences a reason to engage.

• Trend identification and creative opportunities: Stay close to social culture, platform trends, emerging formats, and creator behaviours. Proactively identify opportunities for brands to participate in relevant conversations.
• Creative collaboration: Work closely with content strategists, community managers, creative teams, account teams, and clients to develop ideas, refine creative, and deliver content that meets brand and business objectives.
• Content adaptation and versioning: Adapt creative assets for different social platforms, formats, audiences, and campaign requirements while maintaining brand consistency.
• Creative quality and delivery: Manage multiple content requests and production timelines, ensuring work meets creative standards, client expectations, and platform specifications.
