• Identify and track emerging trends, memes, and conversations across the shopping space.
• Help build and refine strategies to grow engagement and reach across new and existing platforms.
• Be proactive in pitching ideas, testing formats, and finding new ways to make The Strategist’s stories travel.

Requirements

• A shopping obsessive with a deep passion for service journalism – you’re a compulsive noticer with an eagle eye for detail
• Chronically online with a finger on the pulse of trends, influencers, and relevant voices in the shopping space
• Strong, engaging on‑camera presence and writing voice
• Prior experience growing an audience
• Experience making and editing social content across multiple platforms
