Content Creation Manager

who can take their digital presence to the next level, scaling reach, deepening engagement, and helping make
every

piece of content perform.

The Opportunity

This is
not

a typical corporate social media role.

It's for someone who thrives in
fast-moving, creative environments

, someone who
gets

the
pace and precision required to build momentum online.

You'll lead social media strategy and execution across the Podcast and the host's personal

channels, creating content that connects, spreads, and sparks meaningful conversation.

If you've worked with
individual creators, influencers, or high-growth digital brands

, you'll fit right in. You'll have the freedom to move fast, experiment boldly, and see the immediate impact of your ideas.

What You'll Do

Content Strategy & Execution

  • Own and execute the social media content calendar across TikTok, Instagram, and emerging platforms.

  • Contribute ideas for video production, clips, and storytelling moments that have viral potential.

Operational Excellence

  • Manage social workflows across global collaborators (Canada, US, UK, Holland, Germany).
  • Deliver content at speed
    without compromising quality

.
- Take ownership and initiative; you're trusted to make things happen.

Who You Are

  • 3–7 years of experience

in social media management, ideally working with
creators, influencers, podcasts, or content-led brands.
- A
proven track record

of growing social channels or driving viral moments (personal or client projects).
- Hands-on creator mindset

. You know how to edit, test, and publish quickly.
- Analytically minded

. You understand what makes content resonate and how to measure success beyond likes.
- High-agency, fast-moving, and execution-focused

. You thrive when trusted with autonomy and clear outcomes.
- Storyteller at heart

. You can turn ideas into content that moves people to think, feel, and share.
- Passionate about
personal growth, wellbeing, and global impact.

Nice to Have

  • Video editing skills (Reels, TikTok, or short-form clips).
  • Experience writing compelling copy for social, newsletters, or websites.
  • Interest in travel and global culture. Opportunities may include Los Angeles, Dubai, or London.

Why This Role Matters

This podcast isn't just growing, it's
accelerating.

From 3,000 to 25,000 followers in five weeks, and a recent post reaching 2.2 million views, 140,000 likes, and 100,000 shares, the brand has shown its potential for scale.

This role is your opportunity to keep that momentum going, to help shape the next chapter of a brand inspiring a better future, one viral idea at a time.

links to your work or a public portfolio

with your application, whether that's a TikTok/Instagram link, a portfolio site, or past client pages. Applications without accessible examples of work will unfortunately not be reviewed.
