You'll stay ahead of trends, lead conversations, and build communities across platforms.

• Expertise across all major platforms (TikTok, Instagram, Meta, X, LinkedIn, Pinterest) and fluency in emerging platforms.
• Exceptional writing, presentation, and communication skills, comfortable presenting in person or on-camera.
• Proven ability to manage multiple accounts and campaigns with measurable results.
• Proficiency in social media management and measurement tools such as Sprinklr, Sprout Social, and Infegy Atlas.
• A strong pulse on cultural trends and audience behavior shifts, with the ability to translate them into actionable strategies.
