Growing DTC pet brand. This role owns the brand’s social presence and reputation, working directly alongside the Creative Strategist and Founder.
THIS ROLE IS NOT A CONTENT-CALENDAR ROLE.
The goal is not posting volume. The goal is compounding trust — customers who follow, engage, defend the brand in comments, and buy again.
WHO ARE YOU
Someone who has run social media for a DTC brand and has the results to prove it. Someone who has sourced and worked with UGC creators before and knows how to find the right fit for a brand, not just anyone with a camera.
