Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Define our multichannel social content strategy, with a particular focus on viral content on X and formats built for each additional platform.
  • Turn new features and core product use cases into launches, tutorials, showcases, recurring series, and content people share because it’s entertaining.
  • Build a content program across 75+ niches: find the right creators, understand the audience, develop the formats, and keep the work specific to each community.
  • Recruit and manage a team of 100 content producers and video editors, supported by strong creative leads, clear briefs, and a production system that keeps everyone moving.
  • Stay hands-on: pitch ideas daily, write scripts and briefs, make example videos, and jump into edits when something needs a stronger hook or a better ending.
  • Build workflows for AI generation, editing, motion graphics, review, publishing, and rapid iteration.
  • Partner with product to showcase new capabilities and bring creator feedback into product development.

  • Excellent taste: you can spot a great concept early and explain exactly why an almost-good piece isn’t there yet
  • Strong writing and storytelling skills across briefs, scripts, social copy, and educational content
  • Hands-on experience with video editing, motion graphics, and AI-native production workflows
  • The ability to work across very different niches without making everything sound or look the same
  • Operational discipline around production calendars, review cycles, creator feedback, and publishing cadence
