Key Responsibilities

●     Social Media Ownership: Own the day-to-day social presence for each portfolio brand across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and LinkedIn. Build and run a content calendar by brand, planning ahead for seasonal moments from Christmas to National Tequila Day. Manage publishing, comments, direct messages, and day-to-day community engagement.

●     Content Creation: Own content creation as a distinct function. Turn our photo libraries, video, and shoot materials into new posts, and capture content ad hoc yourself or from our team.
