9/8 Central, a digital marketing company in Greenville, SC, is looking for a senior content and social media strategist to join our team.
But let's talk about you.
You're obsessed with strategy and not just the big-picture stuff. You know how to break it down so it actually works on social media.
You've got a sharp eye for good content, whether it's a scroll-stopping visual or a caption that sounds so natural it feels like it wrote itself. You're the type who notices great posts in the wild, saves them, and immediately thinks about how to tweak the idea for your client.
You're not just creative, you're efficient. You love building smarter systems, and you're always looking for ways to use automation and AI to work faster, better, and with fewer headaches.
As a leader, you're energized by building and mentoring a team. You're excited to guide others, help them grow, and create a culture where creativity and strategy work hand-in-hand.
You're confident in front of clients, skilled at running meetings, and you know how to communicate your vision with clarity and authority-both in writing and in the room.
If this sounds like you, we'd be honored to hear from you.
