This is not a role for someone who wants to post polished snapshots and call it a day. We want short, quick, personality-driven content: think rapid-fire interview formats like Vogue's 73 Questions, candid behind-the-scenes moments, and posts that sound like a real person, not a press release.You'll work directly with the CEO and the marketing team to capture, produce, and publish content that grows his following and, by extension, Gesture's visibility and credibility in the market.

If you can turn five unscripted minutes with a busy executive into content people actually want to watch, this role is for you.What This Role Is Not:This is not a one-platform role; you're expected to build presence across Instagram, LinkedIn, X, Facebook, and podcasting, not just pick your favoriteThis is not a role where you post existing marketing content unchanged; everything is built
