Job Summary

Own and scale a high-output, multi-channel social content program centered on viral content on X, turning product features into launch-ready formats, tutorials, and entertaining series; lead a 100-person creator operation, collaborate with product, and measure impact across reach, retention, and activation.

  • Drive rapid iteration, cross-functional collaboration, and data-driven storytelling.

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.
  • Track reach, retention, shares, product visits, signups, and activation to learn what gets attention and what gets people creating.

Requirements

  • Experience building and running high-output social content teams and managing multiple accounts with 100,000+ followers.
  • Ability to recruit and manage a large (20+ person) creator operation.
  • A track record of viral content, especially on X, and an understanding of the platform’s culture and how video, copy, and conversation work together.
  • 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.
