Job Summary

Lead social strategy for TPG across TikTok and Reels, turning briefs into creator-led, platform-native content while using data to guide decisions and optimize performance streams.

  • Own strategy, calendar, and briefs that align with platform moments and editorial priorities
  • Translate trends and algorithm signals into actionable content decisions
  • Bridge editorial and creator work with a test-and-learn approach to scale what works

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • - The strategy behind TPG’s TikTok and Reels presence: what we make, why we make it and how it evolves
  • - Collaboration with creators and on-camera talent — you write the brief and set the strategic direction; they execute
  • - A forward-looking content calendar that connects platform moments, trends and TPG’s editorial priorities
  • - Clear, usable briefs that translate strategy into something a creator can execute without guesswork
  • - Ongoing read of the algorithm: what’s being rewarded, what’s losing steam and what that means for us
  • - Performance analysis that goes beyond surface metrics to actual decisions: what to scale, what to fix, what to stop
  • - A test-and-learn pipeline: formats, hooks, structures; with real takeaways
  • - Tight integration with editorial: spotting what in our pipeline should become short-form, and how to make it platform-native
  • - Competitive awareness: what others in the space are doing and where there’s room for TPG to stand apart
  • - A clear POV on social SEO: how our content shows up in search, not just in-feed

Requirements

  • 3+ years working in social strategy, with real ownership over TikTok and/or Reels for a brand or publisher
  • A track record of turning trends and algorithm signals into actual content decisions that perform
  • Comfort with data, not just pulling metrics, but translating them into a clear point of view
  • Experience running a content calendar in a fast-moving environment
  • Strong writing. Your briefs are sharp, your thinking is clear and your recommendations hold up
  • Genuine familiarity with points, miles, and travel rewards culture
  • Understanding of how social ties to audience growth and revenue, not just engagement
  • Experience working within compliance or editorial guidelines for financial or regulated content

Preferred

  • - Editing skills (CapCut, Premiere or similar). You don’t need to be the creator, but you can step in when needed
  • - Experience working in a strategist + creator model
  • - Background in travel, personal finance, affiliate, or performance-driven content

Benefits

  • - Health Insurance Coverage (medical, dental, and vision)
  • - Life Insurance
  • - Short and Long-Term Disability Insurance
  • - Flexible Spending Accounts
  • - Holiday Pay
  • - 401(k) with match
  • - Employee Assistance Program
  • - Paid Parental Bonding Benefit Program
  • - Flexible Paid Time Off (PTO): We believe time to rest and recharge is essential. That’s why we offer a generous and flexible PTO policy. Full-time employees accrue 20 days of PTO for a full calendar year annually, with an increase to 25 days after five years of service.
