Talent Network Social Media Brand Strategist

Talent Network Social Media Brand Strategist (Part-Time / Hourly) Join Toptal’s network as a Social Media Brand Strategist to onboard, coach, and accelerate the growth of our Content Creator users. You will join an execution‑driven team building a new business unit from zero. Your mindset must be that of a builder, not just a coach. This role has two core missions: - Deliver hands‑on creator growth: Coach creators 1‑to‑1 to grow their audience, increase engagement, and monetize content. Analyze their entire content plan end‑to‑end, challenge them with personalized weekly tasks to improve key metrics such as click‑through‑rate, retention rate, follower growth, and engagement rate. Identify new revenue opportunities and activate brand deals once creators reach strong traction. - Build the foundations of the Creator Agent function: Design, test, and refine the methodologies that power our coaching model. Transform learnings into structured playbooks, training materials, and repeatable processes that allow us to scale a high‑performing agent team. This is not a passive coaching position.

The ideal candidate is a senior creator strategist with real, proven experience growing accounts on YouTube, Instagram, or TikTok. You understand how content scales, why packaging matters, and how to push creators to become consistent, professional, and commercially ready. This is a remote position and an hourly role. Weekly hours are flexible, likely a few per week. Resumes and communication must be submitted in English.

Qualifications and Job Requirements - A bachelor’s degree is required. - Proven experience growing social media accounts on YouTube, Instagram, and/or TikTok. - Strong understanding of content strategy fundamentals: ideation, hooks, titles, thumbnails, and retention, conversion, and community building. - Ability to analyze performance data and translate insights into clear, actionable guidance. - Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English. - Experience in roles that require coaching, advising, or client accountability. - Ability to break down creative work into structured frameworks and teachable steps. - Strong organizational discipline to manage around 10 creators weekly. - Availability to work in the Americas time zone. - Familiarity with creator monetization and brand partnerships is a plus. - Are a creator with +50k followers/subscribers on Instagram, YouTube, or TikTok. - Have monetized your own content through different sources, including brand deals, affiliate marketing, platform payouts, and selling products/services to your own audience. - Are familiar with doing paid social campaigns.
