- Partner with Social, Brand, Legal/Compliance, and Media teams to ensure content is accurate, approved, and optimized for placement
- Collaborate with creators, influencers, and production partners to deliver content that is authentic, rights-cleared, and on message.

- Maintain high standards for representation and accessibility (e.g., captions, thoughtful casting, inclusive visuals) in line with the client’s brand principles
- Support and guide junior creators through clear feedback that improves consistency and craft.
WHAT YOU BRING (MUST‑HAVES)
- A portfolio of social-first content (short-form video and statics), ideally including beauty/personal care or purpose-led brand work.
- Strong capability in concepting, scripting, and editing for mobile-first platforms, with a clear feel for pacing, hooks, and sound.
- Ability to translate a brief into platform-native content that stays true to brand strategy and delivers measurable outcomes.
- Experience working within brand governance (tone of voice, claims, approvals, usage rights) and collaborating with multiple stakeholders
- Practical skills in relevant tools (e.g., Adobe Premiere/After Effects, CapCut, Photoshop, Illustrator, Figma/Canva—depending on your workflow)
- Professional proficiency in communicating ideas, taking feedback, and moving work forward with clarity
NICE TO HAVE
- Experience creating for global brands across multiple markets, including localization and versioning workflows.
