About the role

Please note: We are not actively hiring for this role at the moment
Strong candidates may be contacted proactively as our team continues to expand.
You're likely a Social or Creative Strategist by trade with a background in Content Creation, Video Editing, or Community-Led Growth.

Responsibilities

Organic Content Strategy: Lead high-tempo content strategy and direction for full-funnel organic programs, typically Instagram and TikTok. Own content pillars, editorial calendars, creative direction, and the briefing process end-to-end.
Short Form Video Expert: Deliver expert advice, concepts, directions, and briefs to grow audiences and sell products through native short-form video.
Community and Brand Voice: Own each brand's social voice and presence. Direct community management, trend response, and the rapid-turnaround content that keeps a brand relevant in the feed.
Team Building: Establish processes, systems, and content frameworks that raise the floor on quality and speed. Continuously refine our Organic Social service so it scales without losing rigor as volume grows.
Evidence of strong creative range across highly designed and low-fidelity, native content.

Requirements

2+ years in a Director-level or equivalent leadership role, with experience leading content strategy, managing teams, and driving organic growth results.
4+ years of organic social work, with specific focus on short-form video and native content for Instagram and TikTok.
If you have not grown an organic account or driven content strategy on these platforms, this role is not for you.
You can storyboard, shoot, cut, and ship content.
You can jump into CapCut to fix pacing and into Figma, Photoshop, or Illustrator to polish assets.
You know hook retention, watch time, completion rate, engagement rate, saves, shares, and follower growth, and you use them to decide what to make next.
You have shipped content with AI-assisted elements, not just experiments.
You can turn vague goals into testable content concepts, track results, and call the next iteration without hand-holding.

The base salary range for this role is $120,000-$140,000 per year.
This range represents the anticipated minimum and maximum for this position and applies to candidates based in New York, including New York City, in compliance with the New York State Pay Transparency Law and the New York City Salary Transparency Law.
Actual compensation within this range will be determined based on experience, skills, and qualifications.
This role is also eligible for performance-based compensation.
