Content Manager to CEO

Our client is a fast-growing performance-driven DTC growth agency focused on helping eCommerce brands scale through high-performance marketing and creative strategies. The founder is actively building a personal brand to drive inbound demand, authority, and audience growth across multiple platforms.

Job Summary

We’re looking for a highly creative and execution-focused Social-First Content Strategist to manage and grow the founder’s personal brand across LinkedIn, X, YouTube, Instagram Reels, TikTok, and email newsletters.

You will own the content engine end-to-end, from content calendars and scripting to posting, analytics, and community engagement.

If you live and breathe short-form content, understand founder-led brands, and know how to turn conversations into engaging social content, this role is for you.
