- AI: Demonstrated proficiency with AI platforms (e.g., Adobe Firefly, Midjourney, Canva or similar) and a passion for adopting emerging technologies that enhance creative performance
- Platform fluency: Deep working knowledge of Instagram, Facebook and TikTok best practices: trends, algorithms, formats and what makes each platform perform
- Tools of the trade: Hands-on experience with a social media management platform (Dash Social or Sprout Social preferred) for scheduling, publishing and monitoring

About the Company
A fast-growing, multi-brand winery and restaurant group is looking for a Brand Content Creator: a versatile, hands-on creative who can ideate, shoot, edit and publish best-in-class content across every platform where our guests live.
