Role

We're looking for a Social Media Strategist who combines deep platform expertise with strong creative instincts and a proven track record of growing brands through social. This is a highly hands-on role: you will conceptualize, shoot, edit, and publish content across Instagram, YouTube, and other channels, translating Gantri's design point of view into compelling, native social storytelling.

You'll own the day-to-day execution of Gantri's social presence, working closely with the broader team to develop content, test new ideas, and use performance data to continuously improve what we make.

This role will report to our Head of Brand. The ideal candidate is mid-career, has scaled social presence for a brand and understands how to translate design-driven aesthetics into native platform storytelling. This person will be responsible for driving social media growth independently—from strategy and content development to execution and optimization.
