  • Partner with Demand Generation and Growth teams on paid social strategy and influencer/creator programs

Analytics & Optimization

  • Own social analytics infrastructure and reporting; translate data into actionable insights for leadership
  • Establish A/B testing frameworks for content formats, posting cadences, and messaging angles
  • Track and benchmark performance against competitors and industry standards

  • Proven track record of building and scaling social media programs at a high-growth tech company, ideally in a trust-sensitive category (fintech, healthcare, government tech, cybersecurity, or identity)
  • Strong grasp of both B2C and B2B social strategies - ID.me serves individuals and enterprises simultaneously
  • Exceptional writing and editorial judgment; ability to translate technical or policy content into compelling, accessible social copy
  • Experience managing and growing a team; strong coach and collaborator
