Vard Media is a professional media studio in Lagos serving three core audiences: personal brands, corporate clients, and content creators.
We are recruiting to fill the position below:
Job Title: Content Strategist
Location: Lekki, Lagos
About the role
- At VARD Media, content strategy is not about posting calendars and hashtag lists.
- It is about understanding a brand well enough to write words that shift how people think, feel, and act.
- The Content Strategist is the department's primary writer, responsible for all scripted content, captions, carousel copy, and educational posts.
- You write for both VARD Media's own channels and for clients simultaneously.
- You do not write ad scripts; that is Media Buying territory.
- Your job is to create branded content that builds authority and drives organic growth.
What you'll do
- Write scripts for all branded video content across client accounts and VARD Media's in-house channels.
- Produce captions, carousel copy, and educational post copy that align with each brand's voice.
- Transform trend research and insights from Creative Directors into usable, on-brand scripts.
- Maintain a deep understanding of each client's tone, audience, and messaging pillars.
- Collaborate with Brand Managers to ensure all written output reflects the brand brief accurately.
- Deliver scripts to Creative Directors on time, so shoot schedules are never delayed.
- Write copy that serves a dual purpose: educational or entertaining on the surface, always persuasive underneath.
- Develop and maintain a content bank for each brand so the team is never scrambling for ideas.
- Use AI tools to increase output speed without compromising on voice or quality.
What we're looking for
- 2+ years of content writing, copywriting, or social media content strategy experience.
- Strong scriptwriting ability; you can write for video, not just for static posts.
- Ability to adapt your writing voice across multiple brands without losing clarity.
- Understanding of what makes content perform on Instagram and TikTok.
- Experience writing educational and business content is a strong advantage.
- AI tool proficiency for research, drafting, and ideation.
- Fast turnaround without sacrificing quality: you can produce strong work under pressure.
Who you are:
- You read more than most people.
- You notice language everywhere- ads, conversations, and comments- and you mentally file it away.
- You have a way with words that does not feel forced.
- You write the way people think, not the way textbooks say you should.
- You take briefs seriously, and you ask smart questions before you start writing.
You also understand that your words do not exist in a vacuum; they feed into shoots, social pages, and client relationships.
- That means you work in sync with your team, you deliver on time without being chased, and you hold yourself to a high standard because VARD Media's reputation is built on every word that leaves this department.
- You treat every colleague with respect, and you treat every deliverable like your name is on it because it is.
Salary
N180,000 - N220,000 monthly.
