The Role

Yuzu Money is looking for a Social Media & Content Strategist to keep our social channels buzzing and mindshare high, creating and posting a wide variety of content that excites the existing community and encourages new audiences to participate in the ecosystem. Your mission: grow and engage our audience on X, channelling attention, turning followers into active users, active users into advocates — with a style that is sharp, humorous and culturally relevant.
