Head of Growth – Social Media

About Robot24.comRobot24.com is the global news platform dedicated exclusively to robotics news.We don’t report robotics from a desk. We go directly to the source.Our own global field teams film and report from manufacturers, companies and facilities where robots are being developed, tested and deployed, as well as major robotics events around the world. Wherever robotics is happening, we aim to be there — producing original content directly from the source.Robot24.com officially went live one week ago. Our global field teams, editorial structure and content production infrastructure are already in place. Now we are looking for the person who can turn that content engine into a massive global audience.Our ambition is to build the world’s leading media brand for robotics.The MissionTake Robot24.com’s social channels from zero to massive global scale.Our immediate target is to break the 1 million follower mark by the end of the year and build the growth engine capable of taking the brand far beyond that.This is not a role for someone who has primarily achieved growth by spending millions on advertising.We are looking for someone who genuinely understands why content grows.You should know how to identify winning formats, engineer distribution, analyze audience behavior, test aggressively and turn individual successful videos into repeatable growth systems.What You Will OwnYou will own the overall social growth strategy across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X / TwitterYou will be responsible for developing and executing the strategy that drives audience growth, reach, engagement, video views and global brand awareness.This includes:Building and continuously optimizing our social growth strategyIdentifying content formats capable of generating large-scale organic reachUnderstanding what makes people stop scrolling, watch, share, comment and followDeveloping and optimizing hooks, video structures, titles, thumbnails, captions and CTAsUnderstanding optimal video length and retention mechanics across each platformAnalyzing watch time, retention curves, completion rates, shares, saves, CTR and follower conversionRunning systematic A/B tests across hooks, openings, formats, thumbnails, titles, posting times and content structuresIdentifying exactly why individual pieces of content outperform or underperformTurning successful posts into repeatable formats and scalable content franchisesDeveloping platform-specific strategies rather than simply reposting identical content everywhereIdentifying emerging formats, algorithm changes and distribution opportunities earlyBuilding a data-driven testing and experimentation culture around social contentWorking closely with our editorial, social, production and post-production teams to translate performance insights into better contentOverseeing paid social strategy where it can strategically accelerate content that has already demonstrated strong potentialWorking alongside our Collaboration Specialist on influencer, creator and strategic distribution partnershipsBuilding a truly global audience rather than optimizing for a single marketWhat We Are Looking ForA proven track record is mandatory. We are not looking for someone who can tell us how growth should work. We want someone who has already done it.You must be able to demonstrate previous examples of accounts, brands, media companies or businesses you have materially scaled through social media.Your application should include specific evidence and numbers, including where possible:Starting audience → Final audienceTime period → Growth achievedOrganic reach / views generatedYour exact role in achieving that growthPaid vs. organic contributionWe are particularly interested in candidates who have built audiences from an early stage, rather than inheriting already-established accounts.You Should HaveStrong hands-on experience with Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and X/Twitter, combined with a deep understanding of short-form and long-form video distribution.You should understand:Hooks. Retention. Watch time. CTR. Thumbnails. Titles. A/B testing. Content velocity. Audience psychology. Viral distribution. Platform algorithms. Viewer-to-follower conversion. Organic growth. Paid amplification. Creator distribution.You should be equally comfortable looking at a retention graph and telling an editor exactly why viewers dropped at second six.We expect you to be highly analytical, extremely fast and comfortable operating in a high-output media environment where content is constantly tested, analyzed and improved.What This Role Is NOTThis is not a traditional marketing manager position. It is not primarily about brand guidelines, corporate campaigns, presentations or managing large advertising budgets.And we are specifically not looking for someone whose definition of growth is spending $20 million to acquire an audience. We are looking for someone who understands how to create demand, attention and distribution organically — and then use paid media intelligently to amplify what already works.The Person We WantYou are obsessed with understanding why one video gets 20,000 views while another gets 20 million.You instinctively question the first three seconds of every video.You test rather than guess.You understand that different platforms require different packaging and distribution strategies.You know when a format has potential before it becomes obvious to everyone else.Most importantly, you have already demonstrated that you can turn content into measurable audience growth.Application RequirementShow us what you have grown. Include 2–5 concrete growth cases with links, screenshots and measurable results.Details we'd like to know:Where did the account start?Where did you take it?How quickly?What did you personally change?How much of the growth was organic?If you have built a social audience from zero to hundreds of thousands — or millions — we want to hear from you.
