Someone who lives and breathes social media. You spot emerging trends before they hit the mainstream and know when—and why—to leverage them in ways that genuinely connect with audiences

A platform-native expert. You understand best practices across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, Threads, LinkedIn, and emerging channels, and you're comfortable adapting content to fit each platform's language and culture

A strong storyteller. You excel at content ideation, social copywriting, and short-form scriptwriting, and you know how to guide video production from concept to publish-ready asset

Comfortable and confident on camera. You're willing to show your face, film yourself, and use basic in-app editing tools to bring ideas to life quickly

Passionate about food and the impact Misfits Market is making on the food system. You're excited to help tell that story creatively and consistently

A curious, collaborative, creative thinker. You thrive in a team environment, bring imaginative solutions to the table, and think beyond the obvious

Adaptive and flexible. You're at ease in fast-moving environments and can prioritize, pivot, and decide with clarity when things change quickly

Resourceful and proactive. You can take a loose brief and quickly turn it into polished, high-impact content—often getting scrappy in the best ways to make ideas happen

Performance-aware. Knowledge of performance marketing goals and experience partnering with Paid teams is a plus

Organized and familiar with creative workflows. Experience with tools like Asana and Figma is helpful
