Full Job Description
MANAGER, SOCIAL CONTENT WRITER - OLEHENRIKSEN

SUMMARY

The copy voice of the social-first content team. Working closely with your creative counterpart, you write all copy for the platform-native content engine-social captions, hooks, scripts, paid social copy, email and CRM, and digital content. You think natively in platform: you understand how copy functions differently on TikTok versus Instagram versus email, and write for each context with fluency and intentionality. You are a power user of AI writing tools-using them to multiply their output, test messaging, and generate options at speed. This role sits in the creative team, and reports to the head of the copy team.

RESPONSIBILITIES
  • Social captions-written natively for each platform, not adapted from campaign copy
  • Hooks and on-screen copy for TikTok and Reels content-writes copy that works in video, not just alongside it
  • Paid social copy-headlines, body copy, and CTAs for paid media across all social platforms
  • Email and CRM copy-campaign emails, SMS, and automated flows; generates variants and subject line options at volume
  • Content strategy input-brings a copy and messaging POV into content planning conversations with the Social Art Director
  • AI writing workflows-owns and develops AI copy tools for the content team; builds prompts, trains outputs to brand voice, generates variants at speed
  • Platform copy intelligence-tracks what copy approaches, hooks, and formats are working on each platform and brings that intelligence into the creative process
  • Ability to leverage SEO/GEO insights and keywords to ensure maximum discoverability of content, while still adhering to the brand voice across channels


REQUIREMENTS
  • 5+ years of copywriting experience with a demonstrable social-first portfolio
  • Has written natively for social-understands the difference between a caption and a campaign headline
  • Already fluent in AI writing tools-doesn't need to be trained on the concept
  • Understands how copy performs differently across TikTok, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube and email
  • Strong instinct for hooks-can write an opening line that stops a scroll
  • Some content strategy background is a plus-can think about what to say, not just how to say it
  • Beauty experience a plus
