Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience building "worlds" on social — brands with a distinct voice and engaged community, not just a content calendar.
• Fluent in social media metrics and know how to read them into decisions.
• A deep, current understanding of culture and how it moves social — not just what's trending, but why.
• Extremely up to date on algorithm changes and platform shifts across Meta, TikTok, and Instagram.
• Strong grasp of the briefing process — you know how to brief creative that's actually inventive.

• Work alongside the creator team on UGC briefs and execution.
• Translate platform and performance data (hook retention, watch time, CTR, engagement rate, saves, follower growth) into clear creative and content direction.
• Maintain quality and consistency across a high volume of social creative output, flagging risk to timelines or scope early.
• Manage the day-to-day client relationship — communication, updates, and expectations.
• Keep the account organized operationally — timelines, deliverables, and workflow.
