• Understand why certain creator content performs and translates relevant behaviors or formats into ideas that feel authentic to the channels being managed.
• Develop original social concepts and regularly bring forward culturally relevant references, creative ideas and opportunities.
• Support the development of short-form content across a range of topics, including lifestyle, wellness, self-development, feel-good and purpose-led storytelling.
• Understand how to make meaningful or informative subject matter engaging, accessible and relevant within short-form social formats.
• Work closely with creative, production, editing and wider cross-functional teams to ensure content is delivered to a high standard and remains true to the original creative direction.
• Create clear briefs, references, shot lists and feedback to guide content development and post-production.

• Manage multiple projects and priorities simultaneously within a fast-paced social environment.
• Proactively identify blockers, find solutions, and keep projects moving without requiring constant oversight.
• Stay up to date with platform developments, social trends, and best practices to identify new opportunities for the channels.
• Monitor content performance and work with relevant teams to understand key learnings and optimize future content.
• Use both creative instinct and performance insights to continually strengthen social output.
