Social Content Lead
IW Group Inc., Los Angeles, CA, United States
We are seeking a Social Content Lead to join our growing social team, someone who will champion social‑first content that elevates the agency’s creative portfolio and inspires client‑winning work.

Manage social content production budgets and timelines to ensure efficient delivery
Produce content leveraging video and creative editing tools (e.g., CapCut, Adobe Premiere, Photoshop, Canva)
Exhibit a strong aesthetic sense and adapt ideas to align with brand personality, look and feel, and tone
