What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a social media/community role where I can lead content strategy, grow engaged audiences, and report insights that drive decisions. I’m open to remote or onsite work and thrive in async, international, remote-first teams.

I’m a Social Media and content professional with 3+ years of experience growing, managing, and monetising digital communities across LinkedIn, WhatsApp, and Telegram. I’ve scaled communities to 7,000+ members while steadily improving engagement through data-driven content strategy.

In my current role as Community Manager, I own end-to-end content operations—planning, production, scheduling, and performance review—while maintaining consistent brand voice at volume. I also build monthly community health reports for senior leadership, using insights to directly shape platform strategy.

I’m hands-on with engagement analytics, audience research, and community health monitoring—proactively identifying emerging issues and coordinating resolutions with cross-functional teams. I’m excited to bring my editorial planning, reporting rigor, and community-first mindset to remote-first, international team environments.
