• Strong copy writer who can generate compelling content for social media (primarily X but also Linkedin, Facebook, and others). Should also be able to give feedback to content in pipeline, press releases, Medium updates, etc.
• Creating and managing X, Google, and Facebook ads. Designers can produce creatives, but the candidate will provide strong briefs, copy, keywords, etc. and coordinate with legal and compliance to ensure content is compliant with local and international laws.
