Social Creator Strategist [210764]

Summary Our client’s Services Marketing team brings world‑class digital services to life through thoughtful storytelling, partnerships, and creative execution across global platforms. The team works cross‑functionally across multiple lines of business (including music, sports, books, podcasts, and more) to support campaigns that deeply connect with audiences through culture, creators, and social content. As a Social Creator Strategist, you will move away from traditional project management to focus purely on the strategic and creative side of partnerships. You will collaborate with the strategic planning team to translate business objectives, KPIs, and budgets into long‑term, high‑impact creator programs. This role requires a culturally dialed‑in strategist who can flex into diverse interest groups and bring a well‑rounded perspective to multidisciplinary campaigns. Note: This is a strategy, content, and partnerships role. Candidates whose experience is primarily rooted in account management, operations, or pure project management will not be a fit for this specific position.

Cross‑Functional Collaboration: Partner with internal teams such as marketing, communications, editorial, and product to align social content with broader priorities.

Performance & Presentation: Evaluate campaign performance using analytics and insights to inform future strategy, and confidently present strategic concepts to cross‑functional teams and executives. Trend & Cultural Immersion: Monitor social and cultural trends across various disciplines (sports, music, tech, culture) to create equitable opportunities that benefit both the brand and the creator community.
