• Apply best practices in hooks, pacing, structure, and storytelling to maximize in-feed performance
• Add and optimize subtitles, graphics, and motion elements to enhance clarity and accessibility
• Adapt content for platform-specific formats and requirements (vertical, square, horizontal, length constraints, etc.)
• Collaborate with content and strategy teams to translate ideas into social-first executions
• Continuously test and iterate on formats, styles, and approaches based on performance data
• Stay current on platform trends, editing styles, and emerging formats, bringing new ideas forward
• Ensure all content aligns with Bridgewater’s brand standards, tone, and external narrative

• Balance creative instinct with performance data, continuously improving output
• Thrive in a fast-paced environment with shifting priorities and tight timelines
