• Data-savvy: You understand analytics and how to translate them into actionable insights while keeping content fresh and authentic.
• Experienced in content creation: You have a strong portfolio showcasing your work in social media, design, or editing (a plus if you’ve worked with Gen Z-focused brands or publishers).

• Creative freedom: Shape the voice and visual identity of a fast-growing platform.
• Exciting opportunities: Collaborate with top-tier brands and help create viral moments.
• Room for growth: Freelance now, with the opportunity to transition into a permanent role this year.
