Essential Duties
- Create and publish high-quality social content across established and emerging platforms (e.g., Instagram, TikTok, YouTube/Shorts, LinkedIn, and new channel opportunities as they emerge), aligned to brand voice and campaign goals.
- Produce short-form video content end-to-end: concept → script/shot list → capture (when needed) → edit → captions → publish (primary tools: CapCut and Canva).
- Design on-brand social graphics, simple animations, and quick-turn marketing assets with advanced Canva fluency (templates, brand kits, resizing, collaboration, versioning).
- Maintain and execute content calendars; draft post copy, hooks, captions, and hashtags/keywords based on channel best practices and audience intent.
- Support content capture at events and on-site moments (photo/video), including quick edits for same-day/next-day posting.
- Monitor performance and report learnings: track basic KPIs (reach, engagement, completion rate, CTR), summarize what’s working, and recommend optimizations.
- Stay “platform-native”: keep current on trends, creative formats, creator styles, algorithm shifts, and emerging channels; proactively bring ideas and test concepts.
- Collaborate with the marketing team to support campaigns and day-to-day priorities (creative requests, asset organization, file naming, and content handoff).
- Use AI tools responsibly to accelerate ideation, writing, editing, and production—while ensuring quality, accuracy, and brand consistency.
To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform each essential duty well. The requirements listed below are representative of the knowledge, skills and abilities required.

- Canva expertise (required): advanced working knowledge of Canva for social design, templates, brand kits, collaboration, exports for multiple formats, and rapid iteration.

- Emerging social fluency (required): intimately familiar with new and evolving platforms, trends, and best practices; understands what performs on each channel and why.
- AI tool proficiency (required): well-rounded, advanced working knowledge of tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, ElevenLabs (and comparable tools) to function as a force multiplier for ideation, scripting, repurposing, summaries, caption/SEO drafting, and workflow automation—while maintaining human judgment and brand standards.
- Copy creative instincts: strong sense of hooks, storytelling, and “scroll-stopping” creative; able to write clear, on-brand captions with a consistent voice.
- Content judgment: understands basic brand consistency, quality control, and accuracy; can follow guidelines and flag anything that needs review.
- Organization speed: able to manage multiple projects, meet deadlines, and handle quick-turn requests with attention to detail.
- Analytics literacy: can interpret basic social performance data and translate it into practical next-step improvements.
- Collaboration: communicates clearly, accepts feedback well, and can work across teammates and stakeholders.
