About This Role:

We are hiring a Creative Strategist to own the execution and coordination of content across newsletters, social media, and client-facing content projects. This role is highly execution-focused and client-facing, centered on running content projects end-to-end—drafting and editing newsletters, building polished assets in Canva, coordinating quotes and approvals, and keeping timelines on track. While some content may be AI-assisted, you’ll be responsible for shaping, refining, and delivering final outputs with a strong command of English and brand tone. This is not a pure ideation or copywriting role; success comes from strong communication, project ownership, and the ability to keep multiple stakeholders aligned while content moves from draft to delivery.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own execution of newsletters and email sends, including drafting, editing, layout (Canva), approvals, and scheduling

• Manage content for events, ebooks, and campaigns, including collecting quotes, coordinating approvals, and finalizing assets

• Run day-to-day social media publishing (LinkedIn, Instagram, others as needed)

• Create and format content assets using Canva (primary design tool)

• Coordinate with internal stakeholders and clients to gather inputs, feedback, and approvals

• Maintain content calendars, timelines, and simple project trackers

• Ensure content is polished, on-brand, and grammatically strong (C1 or C2 level)

• Light performance tracking (open rates, engagement, basic social metrics)

• Stretch: support basic video editing or short-form repurposing if capable (not required)

Software/Platforms/Tools:

• Canva

• Email platforms (Beehiiv or similar)

• Google Docs / Sheets

• Slack / Notion

• Project management tools like Airtable

• AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.)

• Nice-to-have: basic video editing tools (CapCut, Premiere, etc.)

Qualifications:

• 3–5+ years experience in content, marketing ops, or communications (remote/freelance preferred)

• Excellent written and spoken English (C1 or C2 level) (client-facing confidence required)

• Strong experience writing and managing newsletters and email content

• Comfortable running projects, following up, and keeping stakeholders aligned

• Confident using Canva for clean, professional layouts

• Experience managing social media publishing

• Organized, proactive, and execution-focused

• Comfortable using AI tools to speed up content creation without sacrificing quality

Shift Schedule:

• Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM US CST
