We are looking for a social strategist who can reach, engage, and delight audiences on X, Tik Tok, Linked In, You Tube, and more. You turn ideas into scroll‑stopping short‑form content, build momentum with our core audiences, and translate insights into growth.

• Drive the social strategy aligned to company goals, including tactical plans, channel playbooks, and posting guidelines.
• Own the day‑to‑day social calendar, mapping content to launches, tentpoles, and cultural moments.
• Brief the creative team with clear, social‑first briefs and partner closely to produce native content for each platform.
• Use Hey Gen to produce short‑form videos that set trends, not just follow them.
• Repurpose high‑value assets across formats and channels, maintain a content library, and ensure brand voice and visual consistency.
• Flex into content capture and light editing when needed, including Cap Cut or similar.
• Partner with creative, community, performance marketing, product marketing, demand gen, and partnerships to support launches and always‑on storytelling.
• Build relationships with our core audiences across Instagram, You Tube, Tik Tok, and Linked In to fuel campaigns and word of mouth.
• Write and publish social content with a strong focus on Linked In, plus X, Tik Tok, You Tube, and Shorts.
• Define a cohesive You Tube strategy to drive discovery, watch time, and cross‑channel value.
• Analyze performance for owned social programs, share insights, and iterate on the strategy.
• Maintain scorecards and dashboards, and report progress and learnings to leadership.
• Monitor competitors and cultural trends, and recommend tests that improve reach, engagement, and conversion.

• Growth in followers, reach, and engagement rate by channel.
• Video views and watch time across X, Shorts, Tik Tok, and You Tube.
• Share of voice and earned mentions from creators and press.
• Referral traffic, demo requests, and qualified pipeline influenced by social.

• 7+ years managing brand social channels, with a portfolio of short‑form video and editorial examples.
• Demonstrated ability to write, produce, or direct social‑first content that earns shares and conversation.
• Strong analytical chops using native and third‑party tools, with a bias for decisions backed by data.
• Excellent taste, storytelling instincts, and a knack for concise copy that stops the scroll.

Comfort operating in a fast‑paced environment, owning outcomes end to end. B2B or prosumer experience with a strong X and Linked In game. Hands‑on skills with Hey Gen, Cap Cut or similar, plus familiarity with You Tube Studio and shorts workflows. Familiarity with social publishing and listening tools, UTM discipline, and basic GA or equivalent. Fluency across platforms, formats, and KPIs, with a pulse on culture and emerging trends.

Experience supporting international markets.

• Competitive salary and benefits package.
• Dynamic and inclusive work environment focused on innovation and creativity.
• Opportunities for professional growth and skill development.
• Collaborative culture that values teamwork and employee input.
• Access to state‑of‑the‑art technologies and tools.
