• Translate audience insights, social listening learnings, community trends, and competitive intelligence into clear content opportunities and strategic direction.

• Collaborate closely with strategy leads to shape social frameworks, content architectures, channel roles, and creative approaches that ladder into the brand’s overarching platform.

• Ensure every output—whether hero content, always-on, influencer, or reactive—reflects current best practices and maintains relevance across priority audiences and platforms.
   

Content & Nimble Production Leadership

• Oversee development and execution of social-first assets, ensuring content is platform-native, fast-moving, and culturally relevant.

• Partner with creative and production teams to scope, plan, and deliver social shoots, UGC-style work, creator content, and reactive opportunities.

• Manage timelines, deliverables, budgets, and cross-functional workflows to ensure seamless production across channels.

• Guide real-time decision making and rapid iteration of content.
   

Influencer & Creator Program Management

• Collaborate with influencer strategists and managers on discovery, vetting, briefing, contracting, and content oversight.

• Ensure creator work aligns with brand goals, creative excellence, and platform norms.

• Support relationship management, deliverable tracking, and cross-platform integration (e.g., collabs, usage, amplification).
   

Team Leadership & Operations

• Steward internal processes, ensuring clear communication, strong documentation, and consistent workflows across markets and makers.

• Help improve ways of working between strategy, creative, influencer, production, and analytics teams.

Basic Qualifications:
