About the Role
You'll lead social media strategy and execution across a portfolio of 4-6 US-based clients at a small, high-standards agency. This is a hybrid strategist-executor role — you'll build the strategy AND roll up your sleeves to create, review, and ship content when the team is lean. You'll manage 1-3 junior social specialists and be responsible for quality, timelines, and client satisfaction.
This is not a "set it and schedule it" role. We need someone who thinks strategically, executes cleanly, and keeps the train on the tracks.

Team & Project Management (30%)
Oversee 1-3 junior social specialists — assign work, review output, give feedback

⚠️ English Requirement: Near-Native Fluency (Non-Negotiable)
This role requires near-native English — written AND spoken. You will be:
On video calls with US-based clients weekly
Writing client-facing copy, strategy documents, and reports
Drafting emails and Slack messages that represent the agency
Giving feedback and direction to team members in English
If you hesitate when writing a professional email, need to translate in your head before speaking, or regularly get corrected on grammar — this isn't the right fit. We need someone who communicates in English as naturally as a native speaker. We will assess this in the interview.
