• Collaborate closely with Brand, Creative, and Performance teams, while coordinating with influencers, agencies, and production partners.
• Plan and execute shoots, including founder/CEO-led content, from concept to final delivery.

• Review and refine scripts and content with the creative team to ensure strong storytelling and brand consistency.
• Monitor and optimize campaign performance with a strong focus on maintaining and improving ROAS, CTR, engagement rates, and overall campaign efficiency.
• Work closely with the performance marketing team to identify high-performing creators and scale winning campaigns.
• Use basic video editing tools (CapCut, Adobe Premiere, or similar) to review cuts, suggest edits, and guide creators on content quality.
• Maintain influencer databases, campaign trackers, and reporting dashboards using Google Sheets and Excel.
• Stay updated on platform trends, creator economy shifts, and competitor activity.

• Strong understanding of performance metrics and ability to optimize campaigns for ROAS, CTR, CAC, and engagement.
• Ability to wear multiple hats—strategist, coordinator, creative reviewer, and team lead.
• Strong understanding of Instagram and YouTube content formats.
• Ability to develop content concepts and write the first draft of scripts for reels, founder videos, and creator collaborations.
• Basic proficiency in video editing tools and familiarity with storytelling and scriptwriting.
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and process-driven.
