- Ensure content feels social-first, timely, and tailored to each platform
- Collaborate closely with design, video, and influencer teams to bring ideas to life
Hands-On Execution
- Jump in to write copy, storyboard content, or shoot quick iPhone videos when needed
- Engage in community management—responding to comments, shaping tone, and joining real-time cultural conversations
- Post live during events, drops, or key cultural moments when applicable
