• Channel Management & Publishing: Maintain the local content calendar, draft compelling copy, and manage day-to-day scheduling and publishing across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, and Reddit.
• Agile & Reactive Content Creation: Stay ahead of local cultural moments, social media trends, viral audio, and memes to produce timely, culturally relevant content.
• Brand Localization & Storytelling: Adapt global marketing campaigns and creative guidelines into authentic local content while keeping a consistent brand voice and visual standard.
• Asset & Library Management: Keep media assets, design templates, raw footage, and brand libraries organized for efficient cross-platform distribution.

Role Requirements

• Strong hands-on experience in content creation (video editing, basic visual/graphic design, and copywriting).
• Deep, native understanding of channel mechanics and best practices on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and Reddit.
• Proficiency with video editing tools (CapCut, Adobe Premiere, etc.) and visual design tools (Canva, Figma, or Photoshop).
• Familiarity with social media management and scheduling
• Strong storytelling skills with the ability to turn brand messages into engaging, retention-focused posts across formats.
• Adaptability, speed, and comfort working in fast-paced content cycles and testing new formats on the fly.
• Native-level Portuguese speaker with excellent writing and communication skills, alongside professional fluency in English.

We believe the best work happens when we're together, fostering creativity, collaboration, and connection.
