  • Optimize content for shareability and audience resonance, with a focus on organic amplification

  • Maintain awareness of methodologies and best practices across digital storytelling to inform strategy

Basic Qualifications:

  • 3–6+ years of experience in digital strategy, social media, or content marketing

  • Strong writing and storytelling skills, with the ability to simplify complex topics

  • Experience creating and publishing content across multiple digital platforms

  • Familiarity with analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics, Sprout Social, CMS platforms, etc.)

  • Experience working in high-growth startup environments

  • Ability to operate autonomously and collaborate across technical and non-technical teams
