Is This Role For You?
- You've shipped 1+ years of social content at an agency and know what actually moves the needle
- You're fluent in Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and Pinterest—and you have opinions about algorithm shifts
- You can write short-form copy that punches for 5 different brands without losing your mind
- You thrive with autonomy; you spot problems, ideate solutions, and execute without hand-holding
- You're comfortable being on camera and staying on top of trends; you don't take yourself too seriously
- You need heavy direction and weekly hand-holding; this role demands independence and ownership
- You're burnt out on social or see it as a 'shower break' job; this team works hard and expects results
- You don't have real hands-on experience with the core platforms (IG, TikTok, Facebook, Pinterest) or content tools
- You can't maintain multiple brand voices consistently or you get bored by the detail work that prevents mistakes

Phone/Video Screening
Culture fit and baseline skills check; expect questions on past campaigns, tools expertise, and how you handle creative autonomy.
Creative Challenge
Likely a take-home: develop a content calendar concept or sample post series for a fictional/real luxury brand using your tools.
Team Interview
In-person or video panel with creative director and team members. They'll assess collaboration style, design eye, and fit with their vibe.
