About the Role Temp Role Asap until January 15th, 2026
Our award‑winning Social.Monks team is seeking a talented and creative copywriter to serve as the voice and content generator across our clients’ social media channels. In this hybrid role you will develop and execute content strategies for “always‑on” accounts, as well as engage with client communities to drive engagement, build brand loyalty, and increase brand awareness.
Our ideal candidate can spot a trend in culture or social media, translate that into a relevant insight that is on brand, and move fluidly from uncovering insights to developing concepts to generating creative—whether that means capturing and editing mobile‑made, lo‑fi static or video content, posting across platforms, or responding to posts authentically and on‑brand.
Responsibilities
A culture and music lover who can spot what’s happening on social and translate it into relevant, brand‑specific ideas.
Concept, research, and write copy for social posts and content calendars across multiple brands.
Be the voice of the brand as we roll out content nearly every day.
A proactive leader who is always looking for ways to help the client stand out—not just be a part of the conversation.
Immerse yourself in communities, speak authentically, and create content inspired by what you learn and observe.
Own content calendars, focusing on the ideation and production of content.
Work collaboratively with social strategy and account management to ensure social media channels are on brand at all times.
Stay up‑to‑date with cultural and social trends, ideating ways to participate in them when relevant.
Act fast and be flexible to jump on new opportunities to create impactful work.
The ideal candidate must have a fast turnaround on projects and be able to excel under tight deadlines.
About You The essentials
Stay on top of culture and trends; know what’s going to be cool before it is, including emerging social channels, tools, and networks.
Understand social media best practices, including formats, tone of voice, and key channel ecosystems (Instagram, TikTok).
Ability to travel to office and onsite client locations as needed.
1‑2 years of agency experience is a plus.
Significant experience as an Instagram and TikTok user.
History of creating content that performed well and drove attention for yourself or a brand.
Experience developing or implementing community manager strategies is a plus.
Excellent verbal and presentation communication skills.
Strong writing skills for ad‑hoc copy requests and copy suggestions.
Strong attention to detail.
Strong organizational and QA skills for publishing on high‑profile channels.
