Job Title: Associate Director, Social Creative

A little bit about our team:

The Global Brand & Audience team develops and implements artist strategy and planning, driving culture and commercial streaming alike. The Brand & Audience Services team comprises cross-functional disciplines, including Creative Development, Paid Media, Influencer/Creator Marketing, and Direct-to-Fan and Community Engagement. The team is responsible for marquee artists and their storytelling.

Your role:

As Associate Director, Social Creative, you'll marry artist strategy and audience insights to bring creative execution to life across social-first and social-native content. From developing repeatable formats for varying scenarios to concepting lo-fi and hi-fi materials, you'll create shareable social media content for both organic and paid.

Here you'll get to:

• Create and manage engaging, platform-specific social media content, blending storytelling with analytics to boost engagement (deep familiarity with each platform's specs, limitations, safe zones, paid media units, etc.)

• Pitch ideas based on strategy and creative brief criteria

• Concept, refine, and manage always-on social creative (planned editorial programming around sync, milestone, seasonal, foreseeable cultural moments, competitive drafting, lifestyle alignment, and holidays) for owned and operated channels as well as partner artists' channels

• Concept and develop reactive social creative around trending tracks, trending sounds and formats, breaking news, and pop culture

• Shoot and edit content

• Set the tone between concept and copywriting within brand guidelines

• Use performance metrics (KPIs, engagement) to refine content and iterate on ideas

• Leverage predictive tools and insights around relevant content categories in the always-evolving social landscape

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams

About you:

• You are a social producer and editor with a proven track record (and portfolio - required) of organizing editorial that delivers against a defined strategy

• You're a storyteller at heart and an excellent communicator

• You can anticipate what type of conversation and talk-factor social creative will elicit amongst different communities

• You're incredibly organized and can handle high volume intake and output without losing clever, savvy, and fun within the process

• You are adept in video editing software (from Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, to Capcut, etc.)

We'd love it if you also had:

• Design experience

• Copywriting across multiple tones of voice and audience vernacular
