Social Media Strategist (Instagram & Tiktok)
R 1,600 - 1,920 per monthFull-time
Bamboo Works
Our client is a fast-growing Google Ads agency based in the Netherlands, helping eCommerce brands scale through high-performance paid advertising. With a strong reputation built on proven client results, educational content, and a successful YouTube presence, the business is now investing heavily in Instagram and TikTok as strategic lead generation channels.
This is an opportunity to join an entrepreneurial team where you'll work closely with the founder to build a scalable, content-driven marketing engine that turns industry expertise into qualified business opportunities.
The Role
We're looking for a Senior Social Media Strategist who can take complete ownership of the company's Instagram and TikTok strategy.
This is not a content production role. Instead, you'll be responsible for developing the overall social media strategy, identifying content opportunities through research, creating compelling messaging, and ensuring every piece of content contributes to business growth.
Working closely with the founder (who records the video content) and a dedicated VA (who handles editing and scheduling), you'll become the strategic owner of the company's social media presence—transforming educational expertise into engaging content that builds authority, generates qualified leads, and drives measurable results.

Commitment: Full-Time (40 hours/week)
Working Hours: CET business hours (Netherlands)
