🏢 About Fuse Energy

Fuse Energy is at the forefront of accelerating the global transition to renewable energy, offering comprehensive solutions from generation to storage. As a remote-first company, they foster a fast-paced, ownership-driven culture where your work directly impacts the clean energy movement. Joining Fuse means contributing to a mission-driven team that values creativity and speed.

About This Role

As a Social Strategist, you will own the content and community for one of Fuse's social platforms, shaping how the brand engages with its audience. Your role is pivotal in driving brand awareness and customer insights, directly influencing product and support teams. You'll work closely with the Head of Content and external creators to execute a data-driven social strategy.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day might start by reviewing overnight comments and DMs, surfacing any urgent customer insights to the product team. Then you'd analyze yesterday's post performance, tweak the content calendar, and brief a creator on a new video concept. After lunch, you'd collaborate with the Head of Content on next month's plan, then draft and schedule a week's worth of posts, ensuring each aligns with Fuse's mission and current trends.
