At Chaos Theory , a Social Media Strategist is more than just a content creator — you’re a storyteller, community builder, and strategist all rolled into one. You’ll work closely under the Community Manager to bring our brand to life on social media, engage with our ever-growing audience, and amplify our presence in the exciting world of sports, entertainment, and cryptocurrency.

If you love crafting impactful communications, thrive on building connections, and are eager to learn and grow, we want to talk to you.

You kick off your day by reviewing activity across the social media platforms and forums you manage. You notice a few comments on Twitter and Telegram that need thoughtful replies, and you craft responses that reflect our vibrant company culture. On Reddit, someone asks a question about our latest crypto partnership, so you jump in to provide a quick, engaging answer. Throughout the day, you also monitor our platform live chat and moderate where needed.

Later, you sync up with the Community Manager for a strategy meeting. Together, you plan how to showcase our latest partnership through a mix of social media posts, influencer campaigns, and community contests. You brainstorm ideas for content that will get people excited, like a “How-to” video series for our entertainment product or a live Q&A with a team member.

In the afternoon, you collaborate with the design team to create visuals for an upcoming Instagram post. Meanwhile, you draft tweets highlighting user shout outs and schedule them.

By late afternoon, you get word that a popular streamer is about to feature us in their live content. You quickly coordinate a plan to amplify the buzz on social media, tagging relevant hashtags and creating a follow-up campaign to engage their audience.

As the day winds down, you check analytics to see how your recent posts performed and share your findings with the Community Manager. You’re already thinking of ways to tweak the strategy and make tomorrow’s content even better.

You know your work matters, and that’s what keeps you inspired.
