• Balance tactical day-to-day execution with strategic long-term planning

Collaborate Across Teams

• Partner with designers and the creative team to produce high-quality assets for larger campaigns and initiatives
• Coordinate brainstorming sessions and feedback cycles to ensure all creative work is on-brand and delivered on time
• Work cross-functionally with customer marketing, partner marketing, growth marketing, and product marketing to ensure content accuracy and business alignment
• Provide social coverage for events, conferences, webinars, and product launches

Measure, Analyze, and Optimize

• Deliver detailed monthly, quarterly, and year-end reports with actionable insights and clear recommendations
• Conduct A/B testing on content formats, posting times, and messaging to continuously improve results
