What we're looking for

  • Experience: 8 -10 years of experience in social media strategy, communications, or digital marketing, with a proven track record of managing complex portfolios for global brands.
  • Strategic Mastery: A practitioner who navigates with ease between ground-level execution and big-picture views, ensuring both are reflected in the final output.
  • Advanced Social Expertise: Deep technical knowledge of social platforms, particularly the interplay between organic content and paid growth strategies.
  • Autonomous Execution: A professional who delivers high-quality work based on their own judgment, requiring only occasional refinement on the most complex projects.
