You will own the content engine end-to-end, from content calendars and scripting to posting, analytics, and community engagement.

If you live and breathe short-form content, understand founder‑led brands, and know how to turn conversations into engaging social content, this role is for you.

• Edit short‑form video content using CapCut, Edits, or similar tools
• Coordinate with freelance editors for long‑form YouTube production
• Write and distribute weekly newsletters through platforms like Beehiiv, ConvertKit, or Substack
• Schedule and publish content across all social channels
• Optimize thumbnails, captions, hooks, titles, and metadata for engagement and reach
• Monitor content performance and iterate based on analytics and trends
• Engage with comments and DMs on behalf of the founder when appropriate
• Utilize AI tools such as Claude and ChatGPT for ideation, repurposing, and workflow efficiency
• Help improve and maintain AI‑assisted content systems and workflows

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience managing content or social media for a founder, creator, agency, or operator‑led brand
• Strong understanding of short‑form content trends across TikTok, Reels, Shorts, and X
• Excellent writing skills for LinkedIn posts, Twitter/X threads, and newsletters
• Hands‑on short‑form editing experience using CapCut, Edits, or similar software
• Comfortable using AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT daily
• Highly organized and self‑managed with strong execution ability
• Familiarity with DTC, agency, creator economy, or operator‑led content ecosystems
• Experience growing a creator/founder audience is highly preferred
• Basic understanding of content analytics and platform performance metrics
• Experience helping a creator or founder surpass 10K YouTube subscribers or 50K+ followers on a platform
• Newsletter growth and management experience
• Thumbnail design skills in Figma or Photoshop
• Direct‑response copywriting or growth marketing background
• Experience with AI workflows, Claude Code, Make, or n8n

Benefits

• Competitive salary based on experience and qualifications
• Onsite role in Tampa with a collaborative team environment
• Opportunity to lead and scale a high‑impact content strategy
• Career growth within a fast‑growing, innovative company
• Work on high‑visibility campaigns with measurable business impact
• Direct placement with a client—no middle layers, fully integrated into the team
