• Guide the development of editorial calendars, captions, and platform-optimized creative briefs;
• Recommend posting cadences, test‑and‑learn experiments, and performance optimizations;
• Present data‑driven recommendations and insights clearly and convincingly to stakeholders;
• Research and recommend shoppable content formats, platform‑specific commerce features, and tagging best practices to support e‑commerce goals;
• Propose content strategies and publishing calendars aligned with key conversion moments (e.g. gifting, seasonal, behind-the-scenes activations);
• Mentor a team of SMM strategists, copywriters, and analysts; oversee task prioritization and execution quality;
• Ensure efficient workflows and collaboration using project management and reporting tools (e.g. Asana, native platform tools);
• Collaborate closely with Creative Producers and Brand Marketing to align content with distribution and engagement goals;
• Partner with Business Partnerships to identify upsell opportunities based on content or platform trends

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in social media strategy, content marketing, or social media growth roles (agency experience preferred, client experience a must);
• 2+ years of experience managing and mentoring team members across SMM functions;
• Solid experience in social media organic growth;
• Strong knowledge of YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, their features and metrics;
• Deep understanding of content performance drivers, platform algorithms and best practices, audience behavior and growth techniques;
• Strong ability to turn analytics into actionable, business‑relevant insights;
• Solid working knowledge of native and third‑party social media tools (e.g. Meta Suite, YouTube Studio, TikTok analytics, Frame);
• Strong writing and editing skills for digital storytelling and brand‑aligned messaging;
• Excellent organizational, communication, and presentation skills;
• Fluent in English; additional languages a plus

Preferred

• Experience with social commerce and shoppable features;
• Familiarity with paid media formats and collaboration with performance marketing teams;
