  • 2+ years of agency-side, brand or publisher social media experience managing major social accounts.
  • Strong understanding of platform-native storytelling and evolving social media best practices across Instagram, LinkedIn, X, Facebook, YouTube and TikTok.
  • Excellent editorial instincts with strong copywriting, communication and storytelling abilities.
  • Strong understanding of internet culture, audience behavior and emerging content trends across global markets.
  • Experience developing and executing content strategies across multiple social platforms.
