And guess what? There’s an empty seat here with your name on it. If you're looking for an opportunity to join an ambitious team that is singularly focused on doing great work with great people, we'd love to hear from you!

Overview:

We’re looking for a Senior Comms & Social Strategist (here we call it a Senior Content Strategist) to join our growing team. In this role, you’ll work closely with our Associate Director, Content Strategy, and our cross-functional teams to bring bold, social-first ideas to life. You’ll help shape storytelling across platforms, collaborate with our creator and influencer team, and translate cultural and consumer insights into content that connects. You’ll help shape full-funnel social strategies that ladder up to the broader comms plan - driving awareness, engagement and conversion across the customer journey.

This is a hands-on, collaborative role, perfect for a content ace who’s passionate about the intersection of culture, creativity and data and eager to hone their strategic voice. If you’re chronically online, love the fast-moving world of social and want to help brands engage in authentic, impactful ways, we’d love to meet you.

Responsibilities:

• Own Client Strategy: Lead content and channel strategy for select accounts, from owning content calendars and creative briefings to programming and optimizations, ensuring every aspect ladders up to client goals.
• Inspire Creative: Translate cultural trends, consumer insights, and performance data into clear, sharp briefs that fuel standout creative work.
• Drive Optimization: Review and analyze monthly and campaign-level social performance data to develop insights and actionable recommendations that keep content fresh and effective.
• Spot What’s Next: Stay plugged into platforms, culture, and consumer sentiment to identify real-time opportunities where brands can show up authentically.
• Collaborate Across Teams: Partner with Analytics, Creative, Influencer, PR, and Account teams to connect the dots between learnings, KPIs, and integrated brand storytelling.
• Drive Full-Funnel Impact: Collaborate across teams to develop social strategies that integrate seamlessly into larger comms planning, ensuring content supports brand storytelling and business objectives from awareness through conversion.
• Lead Social Listening: Conduct ongoing social listening and competitive scanning to inform POVs, campaign planning, and rapid-response opportunities.
• Champion Best Practices: Track innovations across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X, Pinterest, Twitch, and beyond, shaping platform-native strategies, testing formats, and driving engagement.
• Elevate the Team: Contribute to playbooks, POVs, and trainings that help the team level up on emerging formats, cultural shifts, and best practices.

Experience:

• 4-5 years of social strategy, comms strategy and/or content strategy experience, ideally at a digital or social agency or in-house content studio.
• Proven success leading content calendars, writing social briefs, and guiding influencer or creator-driven campaigns.
• Deep fluency in social platforms, especially short-form video (TikTok, Reels, Shorts) and a knack for creator-led storytelling.
• Skilled at partnering with analytics teams to interpret social performance metrics and turn them into optimization strategies.
• Proven ability to connect emerging cultural trends and platform behaviors to brand narratives and content strategy.
• Comfortable collaborating cross-functionally under senior leadership, while balancing independent account work
• Curiosity and working knowledge of how new communities and platforms (Reddit, Twitch, WhatsApp, etc.) are shaping consumer engagement.
• Strong communicator who thrives in a fast-paced, idea-driven, and collaborative environment.
• A passion for storytelling at the intersection of culture, creativity, and community.

You’re A Great Fit If You...

• Are plugged into digital culture and can translate memes and moments into strategic opportunities.
• Love writing and editing a sharp brief as much as pitching a trending TikTok concept.
• Enjoy working across teams and translating data into action.
• Balance creativity with a love for organization, reporting, and insight generation.
• Naturally collaborative and team-oriented.
