About the Company Our client is a fast-growing consulting firm that works closely with founders and business leaders to drive operational execution and strategic initiatives. The company operates in a fast-paced startup environment where flexibility, ownership, and resourcefulness are highly valued.
The team is lean and entrepreneurial, prioritizing individuals who can independently manage complex workflows, solve problems proactively, and help build operational systems that support company growth.
Role OverviewOur client is seeking a Founder’s Operator (Social Media & Content) to act as a strategic execution partner in building and scaling a content-driven growth engine. This role is centered on owning the end-to-end execution of social media, podcast production, and content systems that drive audience growth and brand authority.
You will operate as an extension of the founder—translating ideas into high-quality content, managing distribution, and continuously optimizing performance based on data and insights. The role requires a highly proactive and entrepreneurial individual who can take initiatives from concept to execution with minimal direction in a fast-paced, unstructured environment.
In addition to execution, you will serve as a strategic partner by creating feedback loops between content performance and business decisions such as messaging, offers, and ideal customer profiles. This is an ideal role for someone who thrives in startup environments, takes full ownership, and consistently drives outcomes while maintaining a high standard of quality and speed.
Your ImpactYou will play a critical role in building and scaling the company’s digital presence by driving consistent, high-quality content output across multiple channels. Your work will directly influence audience growth, engagement rates, and brand authority through data-driven content strategies. You will establish systems for content creation, repurposing, and distribution that improve efficiency and consistency. Additionally, you will create feedback loops between content performance and business strategy, helping refine offers, messaging, and ideal customer profiles. Your ability to execute quickly and iterate based on performance insights will significantly contribute to the company’s growth trajectory.
