Social media is the highest-leverage item we can do behind our top talent.

We need a Social Media Lead who lives and breathes organic content strategy, knows every algorithm update the day it drops, and can build repeatable, creator-specific playbooks that actually move the needle on social media growth and monetary growth for our top talent.

Develop mastery of what to post for lead generation vs. conversion — and teach it

Cover ad creative strategy, since most paid is amplified organic

Who You Are

You have a genuine obsession with social media — you track algo changes like a hawk and know what's working before it goes mainstream

You've developed content strategy for creators, brands, or talent at scale

You can distill complex strategy into simple, actionable templates that a creator can execute without a second question

You understand the organic-to-paid funnel and can think across both

Bonus: you're AI-savvy and excited about building tools that scale this work

Comfortable working across fitness, wellness, and lifestyle verticals

How This Role Works

Initially, this person will be building the playbooks and feeding strategy directly to creator managers, who will hold creators accountable for execution. Long-term, the vision is to build AI-powered tools that automate the delivery of social guidance to creators at scale. This is a role with a real path to building something big.

Team
