  • Act as a connector-bringing the right teams together at the right time to move ideas from concept to execution

Social Strategy, POV & Thought Leadership
  • Act as a strategic partner ensuring social programs are grounded in audience insight, cultural intelligence, and platform-native behavior
  • Stay deeply informed on social trends, platform evolution, creator dynamics, and emerging formats to inform recommendations and POVs
  • Contribute to internal and external thought leadership by helping shape social POVs, playbooks, and points of view that elevate Song's perspective
  • Partner with strategy leads to develop social frameworks, channel roles, and content architectures that ladder to broader brand and business goals

Content, Production & Creator Enablement
  • Oversee development and execution of social-first assets, ensuring work is platform-native, culturally relevant, and operationally feasible
  • Partner with creative and production teams to scope and deliver social content, creator-led work, and reactive moments
  • Ensure creator and content outputs align with brand objectives, creative standards, and platform norms

Team Leadership & Social Operations
  • Steward internal processes, ensuring strong communication, clear documentation, and consistent workflows across teams and markets
  • Help improve ways of working between strategy, creative, influencer, production, analytics, and media teams
  • Support the evolution of Song's social capability by sharing learnings, refining processes, and elevating standards across engagements
