• Brief and manage social media and creative agencies on objectives and expectations, ensuring alignment with Cadillac brand standards and overarching social goals and KPIs.

• Manage partner, agency, and vendor deliverables, timelines, status, and risk , escalating issues early and driving them to resolution while modeling calm, solutions‑oriented leadership in time‑sensitive environments (race weekends, launches, real‑time moments).

• Support global and cross‑tier coordination , identifying opportunities to adapt or share F1 social content across markets and dealer channels where appropriate.

Content Optimization & Improvements

• Partner with analytics and agency teams to track performance of social content against key KPIs (reach, engagement, follower growth, sentiment, community health) and surface insights that inform future creative and content strategy.

• Collaborate with media partners on creative refreshes and flighting to maximize impact of F1 social campaigns across paid and organic ecosystems.

• Regularly engage with platform partners and stay on top of emerging trends, formats, and fan behaviors around F1 to keep Cadillac’s presence fresh and culturally relevant.

Qualifications

• Experience: 5–7+ years in social media, marketing operations, or integrated campaign management , ideally with a focus on social‑led programs; experience in sports, motorsports, sponsorships, or large‑scale live events strongly preferred.

• Platform Expertise: In‑depth knowledge of major social platforms (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, X, etc.) and current content, community, and creator trends.

• Project & Program Management: Proven ability to build and run detailed project plans and workbacks in modern project management tools; comfortable managing multiple, fast‑moving programs and stakeholders simultaneously.

• Cross‑Functional Collaboration: Demonstrated success influencing and aligning cross‑functional and external partners (brand, social, media, PR, legal, motorsports, agencies) around shared plans and processes.

• Creative & Brand Acumen: Strong understanding of brand tone of voice, visual standards, and how to bring them to life in social content that feels native to each platform and to Formula 1 culture.
