Job Description

Triangle-based candidates only

Burt’s is hiring a Content Strategist / Crew Chief to take full ownership of client content: strategy, execution, and performance.

This role is for someone who wants responsibility.

You will be accountable for:

  • The quality of the content
  • The performance of the content
  • The output of the team producing it

If you’re looking for a role where you just execute tasks or “manage social,” this is not it.

If you want to lead, make decisions, and be responsible for outcomes—keep reading.

The Reality of This Role

You will:

  • Run point on client accounts
  • Lead a team (social strategists, editors, producers)
  • Review content daily (video, hooks, copy, pacing, structure)
  • Make decisions quickly with incomplete information
  • Communicate directly with clients—clearly and confidently
  • Be expected to improve performance, not just explain it

There’s no hiding behind “creative preference” or “the algorithm.”

Your job is to figure out what works and make it repeatable.

What You Own
  • End-to-end content strategy across multiple accounts
  • Team output and execution quality
  • Content direction across video, copy, and structure
  • Performance improvement (views, engagement, conversion where applicable)
  • Translating business goals into content systems
  • Turning feedback and data into better decisions
  • Implementing direction and making it real
What Success Looks Like
  • Your accounts get better over time—consistently
  • Your team produces stronger content with fewer revisions
  • You can clearly explain what’s working and why
  • Clients trust your judgment and look to you for direction
  • You don’t wait for answers—you bring them
What We’re Looking For
  • You’ve owned content strategy before—not just posted or assisted
  • You’ve improved performance or grown accounts in a meaningful way
  • You’re comfortable leading creatives and giving direct feedback
  • You can break down content at a detailed level (hooks, pacing, storytelling)
  • You understand short-form deeply (TikTok, Reels, Shorts)
  • You connect content to actual business outcomes
  • You’re decisive, proactive, and accountable
  • You communicate clearly—especially with clients
What This Role Is Not
  • Not a junior role
  • Not a content scheduler
  • Not a “wait for direction” position
  • Not a pure creative role without accountability
Why This Role

You’ll have the opportunity to:

  • Own real client outcomes (not just tasks)
  • Build and lead systems, not just contribute to them
  • Step into a leadership role quickly
  • Work with a team that values speed, quality, and accountability
Bonus (Not Required, But Valuable)
  • Experience in agency environments
  • Experience reviewing and improving content at volume
  • Canva / Adobe / Final Cut (you won’t be the primary editor, but should understand creative workflows)
