• Develop annual, quarterly, and monthly social media content plans for the Russian market, including themes, topics, creative direction, publishing schedules, and advertising strategies.
• Create high-quality, original Russian-language content (posts, visuals, short videos, Reels/Stories, and community posts) aligned with local travel habits and culture.

• Familiarity with major Russian social platforms (VK, Instagram, Telegram, etc.), their ad systems, and user behavior trends.
• Strong content creation skills in Russian (copywriting, video scripting, community management); experience working with influencers preferred.
• Excellent analytical skills with proficiency in social media analytics tools, Google Analytics, and ad dashboards.
• Strong project management skills; able to execute campaigns independently and collaborate effectively across teams.
• Solid understanding of the travel/OTA industry, including online booking behavior and customer conversion funnels.
• Creative mindset with a strong grasp of Russian social media trends and culture.
• Familiarity with Russian consumer behavior, travel patterns, payment preferences, and relevant laws/regulations is an advantage.

Preferred Qualifications :
