Senior Content Strategist (Social & Platform Strategy)

Senior Content StrategistPraytell is a creative communications agency made up of strategic minds, spirited hearts and people with a strong instinctive recoil from anything remotely boring. We create culture-driven, integrated work that earns attention, sparks conversation and makes people… well, give a shit. But more than that, we're a team of curious builders, thoughtful challengers and collaborative problem-solvers who believe the best work starts with a simple question: what if we?What if we pushed the idea further? Solved the problem differently? Built something better?Our work moves fast, evolves constantly and rarely fits neatly inside a box - which is exactly how we like it. The people who thrive here ask questions, chase ideas, spot opportunities and care enough to go beyond the brief. They don't wait for a perfect roadmap or a tap on the shoulder - they're energized by figuring things out, making things better and helping shape what comes next.We hold ourselves to a high bar, but we're not pretending to be a perfect agency filled with perfect people doing perfect work 100% of the time. We're humans. Sometimes the work runs late. Sometimes the process is still being built. Sometimes there isn't a policy, playbook or perfect answer for every little thing. What we do have is a genuine commitment to getting better - evolving how we work, support our people and build the kind of agency we want to be, together.So that's our promise to you. If curiosity drives you, ownership excites you and "what if we?" feels more like a life mantra than a question - we'd love to hear from you.The OpportunityAs a Senior Content Strategist, you will:Lead social and content strategy across assigned accountsDevelop monthly organic social briefs, content strategy inputs, content calendar guidance, and platform/channel directionTranslate client goals, audience behavior, cultural signals, and platform shifts into clear content directionBring a POV on what brands should post, test, stop doing, or push furtherWrite briefs that creative and creator teams can actually useBuild social-first briefs for monthly content, campaigns, creators, and CGCTurn insights, trends, performance learnings, and audience tension into useful creative directionClarify platform roles, audience behaviors, formats, hooks, messages, and reasons to believeReview and sharpen creativePartner with Creative on concept reviews and pressure-test ideas for platform fit, brand fit, audience relevance, and clarityGuide feedback on hooks, formats, pacing, product integration, messaging, and social behaviorKnow when to push, when to clarify, and when to get out of the wayTurn reporting into next stepsPartner with Analytics on monthly organic social reports and campaign recapsTranslate performance data into clear takeaways, implications, and recommendationsConnect reporting learnings back into briefs, calendars, creator feedback, and client guidanceStay close to platforms and cultureTrack relevant shifts across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts, Threads, Reddit, Pinterest, LinkedIn, and other platforms as neededBring forward timely, brand-relevant ideas without forcing brands into places they do not belongSupport client and agency collaborationExplain the "why" behind content direction, platform recommendations, creative feedback, and optimizationsHelp connect organic social to broader earned, creator, paid, and integrated campaign workWork closely with Creative, Analytics, PR, Influencer/Creator, Account, Paid Media, and Project Management.What You Bring4-6 years of experience in social media strategy, content strategy, digital strategy or integrated communicationsAgency, social agency, PR agency, creative agency, influencer agency or content studio experience strongly preferredStrong understanding of organic social and how content behaves across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts, Threads, LinkedIn and other relevant platformsDeep fluency in short-form video, including creator-led content and influencer workExperience writing social briefs, content briefs, monthly content plans, creator/UGC briefs, campaign inputs or channel strategiesCan spot what is actually happening in culture, not just what is loud online, and translate it into ideas a brand has a real reason to act onCuriosity and working knowledge of how emerging communities and platforms (Reddit, Twitch, WhatsApp, etc.) are shaping consumer engagementSkilled at partnering with analytics teams to interpret social performance metrics and turn them into practical optimization guidanceStrong writing skills for briefs, POVs, reporting commentary, client decks and internal recommendationsComfortable sharing a clear POV in internal and client conversationsAbility to manage multiple accounts, timelines, reviews and deliverables without losing the threadLove a sharp brief, a strong hook and a TikTok concept that feels native to the platformCreative enough to push the work, organized enough to keep it moving and practical enough to know the differenceCompensation, Benefits & PerksBeyond the role itself, we've built a place that genuinely shows up for its people - and that comes through in how we think about benefits and the overall employee experience.
