Junior Data Strategist Jobs

Do you catch yourself thinking of how to quantify what you see happening on social media? Do you find yourself quoting TikToks more often than you’d comfortably admit? Do you see great brand + creator collabs and think “I wish I had thought of that…” ? Our team of influencer marketing experts is growing, and we’re looking for people who not only understand the social media landscape but live and breathe on the cutting edge of it.

Our approach is: work smarter, play better.
