• Write or oversee captions, content briefs, reels concepts, stories, posts, and other social media formats.
• Give creative direction and clear briefs to designers, videographers, photographers, and content creators.
• Coordinate and execute photoshoots, video shoots, reels, campaigns, influencer collaborations, and other content requirements when required.
• Ensure content is delivered, reviewed, approved, scheduled, and published on time.
• Stay updated with social media trends, formats, platform updates, viral content, and relevant trends, particularly across Instagram, Facebook, and other relevant platforms.
• Monitor competitor activity and identify opportunities for brands to stand out.
• Track social media performance and derive actionable insights to improve content and strategy.
• Participate in client presentations and strategy discussions.
• Manage multiple accounts and deadlines while maintaining quality and consistency.
• Take ownership of the complete ideation-to-execution process for assigned brands.

• Good written and verbal communication skills.
• Prior experience working with hospitality, F&B, hotels, restaurants, cafés, lifestyle, or luxury brands will be an advantage.

We’re looking for a person who is proactive, creative, organised, comfortable speaking with clients, and genuinely passionate about social media and digital culture.

Why Join Us?

• Work with a diverse portfolio of hospitality and lifestyle brands.
• Opportunity to work on creative campaigns and exciting social media projects.
