• Turn social engagement into measurable traffic to the product or landing pages
• Analyse performance metrics and adjust content strategies to maximise traction
• Lead social media activity for product launches and scaling initiatives
• Stay hands-on with daily execution — ideation, creation, posting, testing, and optimisation
• Identify what works quickly and double down, without waiting for direction or approval loops
• Operate with accountability against clear KPIs and performance benchmarks

Qualifications and Experience

• Proven experience generating measurable social media growth and engagement
• Demonstrated success in launching or scaling a product via social media
• Strong content creation skills focused on impact and conversion, not just aesthetics

• Comfortable working in a startup environment with pace, accountability, and high expectations
• Self-starter mindset with a strong bias towards execution
• Access to a reliable laptop, stable internet connection, and a dedicated home working setup
