We're looking for a Social Media Manager to join our Strategic Communications team and help B2B brands show up in smarter, more creative, and more effective ways across social.

You'll lead strategy and execution for a portfolio of clients, partnering with creatives and account teams to deliver content that drives engagement and business outcomes. The Role As a Social Media Manager, you will collaborate closely with copywriters, graphic designers, animators and account managers, and be responsible for social media strategy development and content mapping, KPI tracking and reporting on a recurring basis. Our clients are B2B marketers who rely on social media as a tool to nurture two-way value-based relationships with their target audiences. To this end, we need a team player who can think critically and creatively to develop strong social media programs.
