Freelance Reddit Strategy Lead (6-Month Contract)

Vinted is looking for a platform-native strategist to build, launch, and lead and activate our presence on Reddit over the period of 6 months.  You will be responsible for the end-to-end Reddit launch and initial activation: from defining our strategic rules of engagement to delivering tangible, measurable results.  You will collaborate across the business to create a future-proof strategy that ensures our brand presence is helpful, authentic, and undeniably Vinted.

Candidates must be comfortable working as freelancers, as this is a 6-month contract engagement rather than direct employment.

Initial expected commitment is approximately 15–20 hours per week.

You will report to the Senior Manager, Social Media and Editorial Content, working hand-in-hand with:

• Member Support: To align on service standards and build workflows for effective community support.
• Insights: To anchor your strategy in data and ensure performance aligns with internal measurement workstreams to track and demonstrate the effectiveness of your delivery. 
• Brand: To adopt and adapt the Vinted brand voice, ensuring it is platform-appropriate and "Reddit-native."
• Communications: To establish protocols for reputational risk situations.
• Organic Social and Influencer: To integrate Reddit as a high-impact pillar within our wider global social media strategy.

• We are looking for freelancers who can work independently on a contractor basis, as this is a 6-month remote project and not a direct employment position with us. Candidates should be available to work with partial overlap during Lithuanian business hours.
• A proven track record (5+ years minimum) of managing brand reputations on Reddit, Discord, or similarly community-governed platforms.
• Demonstrated history of navigating subcultures and respecting the unspoken rules of community moderators on behalf of a brand. 
• Knowledge of the role of Reddit as a high authority LLM response data source and experience applying these insights to brand strategies.  
• Experience working with senior stakeholders and on-boarding cross-functional teams to social media and community management strategies. 
• Background in collaborating with Customer Service or Member Support teams.
• Proficiency operating and integrating social listening tools into support workflows to catch and resolve issues before they escalate.
• Fluent in English, with high-level copywriting skills and the ability to translate Brand Guidelines into comment threads that feel helpful and human.
• Strong skills in data analysis and the ability to translate community management into clear business impact. 
• Exceptional project management skills with clear examples of delivering measurable outcomes at pace. 
• A creative and innovative approach, showcasing a passion for delivering high quality, exciting and future looking work.
