Social Media Strategist

Job Description

About The Center for Cosmetic Surgery

The Center for Cosmetic Surgery is a Colorado aesthetic medicine group that brings together three brands, each serving patients at a different stage of their journey. The Center for Cosmetic Surgery is our surgical practice, with our team of 6 surgeons specializing in face, breast, body, and more. Our non-surgical care is led by Rejuvenate MedSpa and SkinLab Denver. Rejuvenate and SkinCeuticals SkinLab Denver are our premier destinations for injectables, laser, and aesthetic treatments, with locations in Golden, Denver, and Colorado Springs.

Together, our brands care for patients at every stage, from a first skincare visit to surgery. We hold ourselves to a high standard of patient care, and our marketing reflects that: thoughtful, credible, and focused on real results. Our marketing team is small, collaborative, and hands-on, so the work you do here is seen and makes a real difference.

Position Summary

The Social Media Strategist owns social media strategy and content creation across all three brands in the practice group: a surgical authority brand, and two luxury medspa brands. This role is equal parts strategist and creator. You will take business objectives from marketing leadership, turn them into a social plan for each brand, and then bring that plan to life with high quality, platform native video and polished design that you shoot, edit, and create yourself. You will measure what works, use the data to refine the strategy, and manage your own work without close supervision.
