Associate Director, Social & Influencer

You live and breathe social media. You’re curious and passionate about online communities, the ways in which people share and communicate and what makes something cool and highly shareable. You immerse yourself in culture and have multiple passions outside of your career that motivate you. And you know how to make all of this knowledge work for brands to help combat what we lovingly refer to as feed fatigue. 

We’re looking for someone to fill the role of Associate Director, Social and Influencer, who isn’t afraid of ambiguity in a role and thrives on making their career their own. In this role, you’ll be thinking strategically AND creatively, all while having the ultimate goal of driving business results in mind.
