- Social & Digital Strategy: Create platform-native content tailored to current social media viewing habits (TikTok, Reels, Shorts), optimizing pacing, framing, and aspect ratios to drive performance.
- Events & Field Work: Independently manage fast-moving on-location shoots, including corporate events, grand openings, and talking-head interviews.

- Proven background in commercial, food, CPG, or advertising content production.
- Deep understanding of how to adapt technical and creative choices (lighting, composition, editing style) based on the intended publication method and audience.
- Self-directed and highly adaptable, with a strong pulse on evolving online culture, visual media trends, and emerging content formats.
- Ability to collaborate effectively with culinary and marketing teams while maintaining the capacity to work independently.
