Director Social Content & Culture Marketing

About company:

• Skillshare is an online learning platform with thousands of creative courses and classes taught by experts to help you learn new skills.

What you'll do day-to-day:

• Develop a cohesive social voice that adapts to new and existing platforms through storytelling, engagement, and connection
• Create and own plans for always-on organic and paid social activations including premier creative events such as SXSW and AdobeMAX
• Partner with our in-house Brand Studio, Growth Marketing, and content programming teams to develop and execute campaign launch strategies 
• Coach and grow a small team that manages execution across all social channels, as well as social listening and community management
• Create, maintain, and evolve processes and systems to ensure effective messaging across platforms and KPI achievement - constantly seeking a balance between engagement and growth

Why we're excited about you:

• Our ideal teammate balances left-brain creativity with right-brain analysis of audience, media, and market insights to inform planning and achieve results
• You live and breathe social and are first to identify new products, platforms, content trends, and best practices, driven by a desire to elevate the function and lead the category 
• You thrive on knowing what’s trending in the arts, fashion, music, television, pop culture, sports, entertainment, news, and current events, with a strong POV on how brands can participate in and shape the conversation
• You are equally comfortable as an individual contributor producing content as you are managing a network of strategists and creators to deliver break-through creative assets 
• You’re an empathetic problem solver and hands-on leader who is not just repeating what’s been done, but guiding the team to build what is next
• A plus if you have managed and scaled social programs for a global brand, in partnership with regional leads (either in-house or at an agency)

Why you're excited about us:

• Impact: You’ll have deep impact within Skillshare by defining how we show up in culture and conversation and connect with a global audience
• Growth: You’ll have the opportunity to wear many hats while growing your leadership, influence and responsibility within the org
• Team: We have a passionate, talented team that elevate each other and are truly the most fun to work with
• Mission: We’re doing work that matters – inspiring people around the world and empowering them to pursue their creativity.
• Flexibility: We believe that doing your best work means living a full life. That means different things for everyone, so we optimize for trust, invest to support remote teams, have an unlimited vacation policy (with a required minimum!), and encourage work-life balance.
