• Support integrated marketing campaigns and live product launches across social channels.
• Monitor channel performance, build regular reporting, and provide actionable insights to improve engagement, reach, and content effectiveness.
• Stay on top of platform trends, emerging formats, and best practices, bringing fresh ideas to help grow our social presence.

• Hands-on experience with social media management and scheduling tools, with the ability to build and maintain content calendars.
• A strong understanding of what drives engagement across LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, and Reddit.
