Job Summary

Own the end-to-end social content system from concept to community, planning monthly calendars, directing shot lists and creative direction, writing hooks and captions, engaging in comments, and analyzing performance to guide the founder.

  • Own the content calendar and weekly execution plan
  • Drive engagement and performance through data-informed iterations

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Plan and manage the monthly social content calendar across Instagram, Stories, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and LinkedIn.
  • Turn founder ideas, voice memos, and scientific insights into clear content concepts, hooks, and structured weekly shot lists.
  • Write high-converting hooks, video text overlays, captions, and search-optimized hashtags tailored for health/wellness audiences.
  • Serve as the active, human voice of the brand in comments and DMs, fostering high-quality engagement and audience connection (~2–3 hrs/week).
  • Analyze monthly performance data to refine strategy and share learnings with the founder and content creator.
  • Communicate seamlessly with the founder and team via Slack.
  • Monthly content calendar plan: concepts for 20 posts/month, primarily for Instagram, with a light plan for adapting each for TikTok and YouTube Shorts
  • Shot lists/direction for the founder (talking head or b-roll)
  • Creative direction for the content creator on bringing concepts to life
  • Weekly copy: captions, scripts, text overlays, hashtags for 5 IG posts, 3 LinkedIn adaptations, 3–5 Stories

Requirements

  • Experience: Social media marketing: 5 years (Preferred)
  • You don’t just execute—you’re a strategic thinker. If a post isn’t landing or an idea isn’t quite right, you’ll push back and bring a point of view.
  • You know the wellness space—live it or have worked deeply in it, and you get why this mission matters.
  • You know how to build trust, not just buzz, by folding in the founder's scientific background and third-party proof.
  • You love social SEO & analytics and can turn performance data into a repeatable playbook.
  • You’re a pro at translating expertise into content—when a founder talks, your brain already knows how to turn that into a strong hook and a scroll-stopping post.
  • You’re comfortable jumping in creatively when needed (editing video or creating graphics from brand templates in Canva).
  • If you’re comfortable being on camera or shooting simple b-roll (a coffee ritual, a wellness moment) too, and have work samples to show your chops here, this is a big plus, though not required.
  • You know how to translate complex neuroscience concepts into engaging, human content for social media.
  • You operate independently once ramped up and run your own calendar without day-to-day management.

Preferred

  • If you’re comfortable being on camera or shooting simple b-roll (a coffee ritual, a wellness moment) too, and have work samples to show your chops here, this is a big plus, though not required.
  • You’re familiar with regulatory considerations for wellness/supplement claims and/or can learn, and be sure to follow the rules, without the founder having to remind you every time.
  • You operate independently once you're ramped up. We’ll onboard you into the science, voice, and vision. You will have a robust strategy to drive your work—from there, you run your own calendar without needing to be managed day to day.
  • You operate as a registered business entity (LLC, Corporation, or registered Sole Proprietorship) with a valid business license where required, and/or hold an EIN.
