• Strong social media expertise: platforms, content formats, influencers, algorithms, trends
• Ability to align social strategies with broader brand and business goals
• Success in scaling revenue and teams
• Strategic thinker with a creative approach—able to craft narratives and lead pitches
• Entrepreneurial, proactive, and comfortable in high-growth environments
