- Model an insights-driven approach, proactively identifying and validating qualitative and quantitative observations from all platforms to fuel always-on tactics and tentpole activations
- Embed deeply with cross-functional teams, proactively delivering subject matter expertise and social insights to elevate marketing execution and fuel new ideas and experiences
- Present ideas and recommendations, inspiring confidence via compelling presentations that excite, influence and accelerate strategic growth.

- 10+ years working in digital/social marketing with experience driving campaigns crafted to appeal to multiple audience types and personas
- Deep experience defining, evangelizing and driving end-to-end execution of social strategies at a platform level, inclusive of always-on tactics and tentpole activations
- Proficiency for turning social data into actionable insights at both a content and campaign level, with a proven track record of identifying unexpected or untapped opportunities
- Proven ability to concept and drive the development of high profile social activations, including leading cross-functional brainstorms and working sessions to identify and refine the highest-potential ideas
- Adept at crafting and refining social copy and creative, pairing platform-level methodologies with deep situational expertise (ex: product launches vs. live events vs. owned assets) to create content optimized for specific brand moments
While not required, it’s an added plus if you also have:
- Multi-platform campaign experience
