Role Summary
AT&T Corporate Communications is looking for a social-first storyteller who knows what makes people stop scrolling, lean in and engage.

You’ll report to AT&T’s Editor-in-Chief and work closely with AT&T’s broader Social Media team, Executive Communications, Media Productions and communicators across the company to build a more distinctive voice for AT&T’s corporate channels and help the best stories travel further.
