You will work directly with leadership to transform Instagram into a major acquisition, branding, and community-building channel. If your idea of social media management is simply scheduling posts, this role is not for you. The Opportunity You will own the entire Instagram growth ecosystem, including: Content Strategy Content Planning Audience Growth Engagement Optimization Performance Analytics Trend Research Creative Direction Community Management Your mission is simple: Build an Instagram presence that commands attention, generates engagement, and drives measurable business growth. Key Responsibilities Strategic Growth Leadership Develop and execute a comprehensive Instagram growth strategy.

Qualifications Required Proven track record of managing and scaling Instagram accounts. Deep understanding of Instagram's content ecosystem. Strong analytical and strategic thinking abilities. Exceptional written communication skills. Experience with social media management and analytics tools. Ability to work autonomously and execute with excellence. Highly Preferred Experience growing accounts beyond 100,000 followers. Experience creating viral content campaigns. Understanding of consumer psychology and attention economics. Experience with creator-led brands, media brands, or high-growth startups. Familiarity with content production workflows and short-form video strategy. What We're Looking For We value individuals who: Think like an owner. Execute with urgency. Obsess over quality. Make decisions based on data. Bring ideas, not excuses. Constantly seek improvement. Application Requirements To be considered, please submit: Portfolio of Instagram accounts you have managed. Growth results achieved (followers, engagement, reach, impressions). Examples of content or campaigns you contributed to. A brief overview of your growth methodology. Tools and software you regularly use. Applications without relevant examples and measurable results will not be considered. Compensation Competitive compensation based on experience, expertise, and demonstrated performance. Outstanding candidates may be considered for a long-term strategic partnership as we continue to scale. Final Note We are seeking top-tier talent capable of building a high-performance Instagram growth engine—not simply managing a social media account.
