Your mission is to transform raw cultural insights into executional excellence, serving as an indispensable partner to creative teams and a trusted partner to our clients.

YOU ARE
  • A person who thrives in a fast-paced environment, responding quickly and proactively
  • Not interested in just following trends - you want to create them
  • A self-starter, who'll take ideas from concept to execution, navigating feedback like a pro


Traditional agency experience is not required, but it's a plus. What matters is your deep understanding of what resonates with social audiences. This role is energetic, innovative and forward-thinking. Alongside engaging with communities, you'll guide brands by staying ahead of social trends and cultural moments. In return, you'll join a global agency dedicated to generating buzzworthy ideas for some of the world's leading brands.

WHAT YOU'LL DO
  • Partner with Brand Strategy and Insights and Measurement teams to define areas of culture the brand has the right to play in, then sell it in with data and storytelling
  • Drive the proactive development of trend reports and platform updates, acting as the definitive agency and client resource for new behaviors, formats and opportunities
  • Build creative briefs that identify audience and cultural insights and tensions and turn them into brand narratives worth talking about
  • Set the standard for developing modern social content pillars and channel and audience strategies that drive business outcomes
  • Play a critical leadership role to manage and mentor team members while proactively managing up across resourcing and client areas of growth
  • Act as Indispensable partner to the creative team to ensure ideas are made for social and executed to perfection
  • Proactively develop new ways of working that improve the clarity of strategy deliverables and increase efficiency between internal and client teams
  • Act as an AI thought leader and trusted practitioner, consistently identifying opportunities for research and strategy to level up and disrupt

Requirements
  • 8+ years in social strategy, digital marketing, or cultural communications, with a proven track record of leading high-level brand accounts
  • Deeply passionate about the future of social beyond a tactical distribution channel
  • You are "chronically online"-you understand internet subcultures, memes, and platform shifts before they hit the mainstream
  • Exceptional deck building and presentation skills with the ability to "sell" brave creative ideas to any type of client stakeholder
  • Hands-on experience using AI tools (LLMs, NotebookLM, etc.) to analyze consumer behavior and optimize workflows
  • Proven ability to lead and mentor team members
