Senior Vice President, Social Strategy

Senior Vice President, Social Strategy

This is not a traditional social role. As SVP, Social & Content Strategy Lead, you will define and shape what social and content mean for one of the most influential brands in the world. Sitting at the center - you will lead the evolution of an always-on, insight-driven, culturally relevant content ecosystem that connects brand, business, and audience in meaningful ways.

This role requires a rare blend of strategic leadership, category expertise, client partnership, and hands-on craft. You are as comfortable advising senior clients as you are shaping the work. You see social and content as inseparable—and as a growth engine for the business.

You will lead a multidisciplinary team of ~20 strategists, partnering across creative, media, data, and platform teams to deliver integrated, future-forward solutions.

Responsibilities

What You'll Do

• Architect a modern, always-on social and content ecosystem - one that is audience-first, insight-led, and culturally fluent
• Champion a unified view of content and social as a single, connected discipline
• Set the strategic direction across brand, campaign, and real-time initiatives

Build & Lead a High-Performing Team

• Balance and elevate diverse leadership strengths across:
• Holistic social/content strategy and innovation
• Operational excellence, team development, and staffing
• Deep social platform expertise and best-in-class execution
• Act as a mentor and coach, developing the next generation of leaders

Be a Hands-On Leader

• Stay close to the work—guiding key briefs, shaping outputs, and elevating quality
• Operate as both thinker and doer, stepping in where needed to unlock progress
• Build new frameworks, processes, and ways of working that enable speed, quality, and innovation

Integrate Across GroupeConnect

• Partner seamlessly with strategy, creative, media, data, and production teams
• Ensure social and content strategies are fully integrated into broader marketing ecosystems
• Help define what "Power of One" looks like in practice - connected, cohesive, and client-centric
