The right candidate will also be instrumental in ensuring the highest levels of client satisfaction by delivering excellent social media-based solutions while ensuring Ïdeliverables are within scope, budget, and timelines.
ÏWe are looking for a highly personable, upbeat communicator who is confident in client meetings and can maintain strong client relationships while juggling a high-volume portfolio (currently up to 39 active accounts). You should be equally comfortable with communication, strategy, and execution — especially when it comes to taking over ongoing client work and continuing it seamlessly. You’ll be expected to lead meetings, manage expectations, and keep all campaigns on track across a variety of industries and client types.
Strong creative and writing skills are essential. You must be proficient in Canva and Photoshop, with the ability to create polished, on-brand visuals. Solid writing ability is also required — from sharp social captions to clear client communication.

- Deliver strong design assets with a solid eye for branding, alignment with existing grids, and creative consistency. Experience with Canva and/or Adobe Creative Suite is essential.
- Manage and execute Influencer Marketing campaigns.
- Support sales and account management by recommending ideal social media solutions to relevant prospects and clients.

- Build, manage, and improve standard operating procedure documents within the department.
- Suggest process improvements as and where needed to improve efficiency and quality.
- Be a thought leader for the department and embrace AI and emerging technologies to keep up with the latest trends and best practices within the social media domain.
NEED TO HAVE SKILLS

- Ability to take direction, and work in a highly collaborative environment involving local and international workforce.
- Demonstrated ability to multitask and manage over 25 small and medium social media clients (with an expected load of up to 39).
- Proven client-facing skills — you should be personable, articulate, and capable of independently managing meetings, relationships, and ongoing communication.
- Strong copywriting ability and creative ideation — both independently and with the help of AI tools and LLMs such as ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.
- Strong visual skills with demonstrated experience in Canva or equivalent tools; Photoshop/Illustrator experience is a strong asset.
- Solid understanding of branding, visual storytelling, and social media creative alignment.
- Experience using social media production and management tools such as HeyOrca (preferred), GatherUp, HootSuite, Canva, etc.
