This is a time-intensive, results-driven role reporting directly to the CEO.

Take on front-facing content responsibilities (on-camera, voiceover, or personal presence).
Support live marketing activations (TikTok Live, IG Live, YT streams) to engage consumers and generate insights.
Assist with talent sourcing and manage studio production for ads and social content.
Education & Brand Content

Create educational blog content to support SEO, authority, and conversion.

Work collaboratively with team to support asset & content requests
Qualifications

Demonstrated creative ability in video editing, copywriting, and visual direction.
Strong curiosity and self-learning capacity with willingness to be trained in Ads Manager.
Analytical mindset — able to connect performance results to creative decisions.
Highly organized with experience managing assets in a DAM system.
Confidence in front-facing roles (comfortable on-camera or voiceover when needed).
Experience producing content across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and other social platforms.
Ability to juggle high creative output in a fast-paced environment.
