• Has a strong understanding of Gen Z audiences, particularly women aged 18–28

Skills & Experience

• Proven experience in social‑first storytelling and people‑led content
• Strong editorial judgement and attention to narrative clarity
• Data‑aware, with a clear understanding of what performs on Snapchat Discover
