Reddit & Social Search Strategist

At Rise at Seven, this role sits at the sharp end of search-led social — where Reddit strategy and SEO thinking drive what gets made, not just how it performs. You'll treat Reddit as a search engine and a community in its own right, and treat TikTok, Instagram and Pinterest the same way: as discovery surfaces with their own keyword logic. Content planning follows the search insight, not the other way round. This is a client-facing role. You'll run accounts, mentor junior team members, and be the person clients turn to when they want to know why something is (or isn't) showing up. Most social hires can make content. Fewer can make the case that Reddit and search-led social are commercial channels with measurable ROI. This role is that case-maker — bringing structure, credibility with SEO teams, and a point of view clients can't get from a generalist.
