ROLE OVERVIEW

We’re hiring a hands-on freelance Social Media Manager to craft compelling content for our projects and brands. You’ll identify standout moments in existing material, develop original concepts, and shape and edit assets with a sharp eye for quality, audience behavior, and brand voice, managing each piece through approval and publication. You’ll plan original content and handle lightweight capture within the agreed scope. Dream Three sets brand direction and approval boundaries; you own the editorial proposal and day-to-day delivery.

• Strong writing skills and the ability to adapt accurately to distinct brand voices.

• Professional discretion, organization, adaptability, and reliable follow-through.
