Sold social producer

Afar is seeking a creative and detail-oriented social producer to join our team! The ideal candidate is excited to create branded social content that feels as authentic as our editorial, with a passion for travel, lifestyle, and hospitality and a sharp instinct for what makes people stop scrolling.

This role is perfect for someone who loves bringing a brand partnership to life from brief to final post. You’ll own the production of our editorial sponsored social campaigns, turning partner goals into carousels, videos, and posts that feel unmistakably Afar.
