Key Responsibilities:

• Develop content and social media strategies based on brand, audience and campaign objectives

Qualifications :

• 4–5 years of experience in copywriting, content, creative strategy or a related role, preferably within an agency environment
• A strong portfolio demonstrating both creative thinking and writing ability
• Proven ability to develop campaign concepts and social-first creative ideas — not just execute them

• Strong writing and storytelling skills across short-form, long-form and video content
• Comfortable turning research, trends and audience insights into creative opportunities
