- You are a regular user of social media management and analytics tools (like Hootsuite) and are comfortable navigating Meta Business Suite.
- You have experience working cross-functionally with different teams and can manage multiple projects without losing track of the details.
Attributes & Skills
- Native-level German and high proficiency in English
- Tech savvy: You’re tech-savvy and know how to leverage AI, social, and video tools to scale content production and make your workflows more efficient.
- Story-teller: You don’t just write captions; you tell stories. You have a knack for adapting your tone of voice to suit different platforms and audiences perfectly.

- Trend expert: You stay on top of the latest platform updates, social trends, and hospitality industry news.

- Affinity with the hospitality sector.
- Knowledge of Dutch is a strong plus.
