• Track performance, identify what resonates, and use those insights to continuously refine our content and social strategy.

Requirements

• Both a very analytical and highly creative individual, able to use performance data to inform great content.

• Proven experience growing a brand to a large audience, ideally in a fast-growing startup environment.

• A track record of social campaigns that created measurable impact — and examples to prove it.

• Excellent editorial instincts and a strong command of written English.

• A deep understanding of what makes social content useful, engaging, and shareable.

• The ability to explain complex ideas simply without dumbing them down.

• A genuine interest in writing, publishing, books, or the creator economy.
