You'll be the voice of Commons online, collaborating closely with the CMO and marketing team to transform our mission into content people actually want to engage with.

Instagram (Primary Channel): Full ownership of feed, Stories, and Reels. Set the aesthetic direction, write captions, develop content strategy, and grow an audience aligned with company values. Balance polished brand content with authentic, lo-fi moments that convert.

LinkedIn: Support thought leadership content on the company page with distinctive voice and perspective.
