• Be responsible for creating content and posting across social platforms.
• Develop, film and edit quick-turn videos and recurring franchises across TikTok, Instagram, and other platforms.

• Write and produce smart, engaging copy and visuals that reflect The Strategist’s distinctive tone and perspective.
• Collaborate with editorial, art, and social teams on rollout plans for major packages, covers, and sales events.
• Identify and track emerging trends, memes, and conversations across the shopping space.
• Help build and refine strategies to grow engagement and reach across new and existing platforms.
• Be proactive in pitching ideas, testing formats, and finding new ways to make The Strategist’s stories travel.

Requirements

• A shopping obsessive with a deep passion for service journalism – you’re a compulsive noticer with an eagle eye for detail
• Chronically online with a finger on the pulse of trends, influencers, and relevant voices in the shopping space
• Strong, engaging on-camera presence and writing voice
• Prior experience growing an audience
• Experience making and editing social content across multiple platforms
