• Deliver monthly social performance reports with actionable insights and next steps.
• Stay ahead of platform trends, algorithms, and new tools — continuously testing formats and optimizing strategy.
• Collaborate with marketing leadership to align social analytics with broader marketing goals (events, subscriptions, sponsorships).

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner with sales, events, and editorial teams to promote major announcements, panels, and initiatives.
• Ensure social campaigns align with editorial voice, event branding, and sponsorship commitments.
• Support client-facing campaigns with reporting, screenshots, and metrics for wrap-up presentations.
• Act as the go-to expert for all things social — from trend spotting to platform best practices.

Key Skills & Experience

• 3–5 years of experience managing brand or media social accounts, preferably in gaming, tech, media, or B2B.
• Background in journalism.
• Proven success building and executing high-performing organic and paid social campaigns.

• Familiar with tools like Sprout Social, Hootsuite, Buffer, Meta Business Suite, or similar.
• Comfortable working cross-functionally and juggling multiple campaigns and priorities.
• Data-savvy with a solid grasp of social analytics and reporting (Google Analytics, native insights, etc.).
