4. Don't have relevant examples to share? No worries, You're welcome to create one Reel for Brainz Magazine instead. Choose your own concept and creative direction. We don't expect a highly produced video. We simply want to get a sense of your skills and creativity. This Reel is for recruitment purposes only and will not be published or used by Brainz. Feel free to take inspiration from our Instagram, but we'd love to see your own creative concept, a fresh idea or something interactive that could engage our audience.

What we'll be looking for:

We're interested in the combination of your visual creativity, marketing mindset, storytelling and copywriting skills. We want to see how you turn an idea into content that captures attention and serves a purpose.

About the role

Are you the kind of person who sees a great idea and immediately starts thinking about the Reel, caption or carousel it could become?

Brainz Magazine is looking for a creative, independent and organized Social Media Manager to join our team in Stockholm.

You'll take an active role in shaping how Brainz shows up online, bringing our articles, podcasts, interviews, cover stories and behind-the-scenes moments to life across social media.

This is a hands-on role for someone who understands social media, has a strong visual eye, enjoys creating original content and knows how to turn ideas into engaging stories.

You'll be comfortable both planning content ahead and capturing what's happening in the moment, from studio recordings and events to everyday life at Brainz.

We're not focused on a specific number of years of experience. We care much more about your creativity, execution skills, marketing mindset and ability to take ownership.

• Are creative, curious and constantly coming up with new ideas.
• Are organized, proactive and comfortable working independently.
• Understand how to adapt content for different platforms and audiences.
• Can move confidently between planning, writing, filming and editing.

It's a bonus if you have experience with

• Meta Ads Manager
