Job Overview

Our client is looking for a Social Media Video Strategist to own the entire content strategy and execution for a fast-moving brand consultancy that has an impressive portfolio but hasn't been telling its story.

This is not a task-taker role. You'll lead weekly strategic planning sessions, decide what gets showcased and how, storyboard content for designers, direct video shoots, and manage the full content calendar across multiple social platforms. To be considered, candidates must present a comprehensive portfolio demonstrating content strategy and technical video editing skills. If you thrive on moving fast, thinking strategically, and taking full creative control, this role will challenge and energize you.

They specialize in developing strategic brand positioning and messaging frameworks for businesses in growth or transition phases, working with clients for nine to twelve months before handing off to execution agencies. With a fully remote team of designers, developers, and content specialists, they move quickly and are ready to showcase the impactful work they've been delivering.
