Social Media & Content Specialist
A specialized coffee lab is looking for a digitally native content specialist to execute their social presence on Instagram and TikTok. You will translate brand strategy and direction into platform-native content. Your core focus is shooting, editing, and writing - owning content production end to end, from brief to finished post. You know how to work within a defined brand voice while staying fluent in what's happening on the platforms right now, and you know when (and how) a trend is worth adapting.
You will have real creative ownership over how ideas come to life.
