(Community First) Curiosity and initiative — You're ready to run with a channel or campaign with minimal hand-holding, and you know when to ask for help. (Fast Forward) A learning mindset — You're curious about how brand and demand marketing work in the real world, and you're excited to represent a company's voice externally for the first time. (Ten Steps Ahead) Joy in building — You take pride in your work, care about doing it well, and celebrate the wins — big and small. (Delightful Work) A sense of humour — You know how to make a brand feel fun online. You bring fresh ideas to the table, aren't afraid to try something different, and can make people smile with a caption, a post, or a campaign concept. 🛠️ What You'll Do Brand & Social Media Own the social media content calendar end-to-end: planning, creating, scheduling, and publishing on-brand content across channels. Develop and pitch campaign concepts that build brand awareness and support demand generation goals. Manage community engagement — monitor channels, respond to comments and messages, and flag opportunities or issues to the team. Own performance reporting: track key metrics, identify trends, and turn them into recommendations for what's next.
