Content Creator & Social Media Manager

This is a hands-on creative role for someone who lives and breathes social media.

You'll be responsible for creating, editing and publishing engaging short-form content across TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn and other platforms.

Beyond content creation, you'll help shape our social strategy by developing new content series, spotting trends early and experimenting with formats that drive engagement.
