This position is based at our corporate offices in Alexandria, VA.
The Director - Social Media and Cultural Marketing is responsible for leading Five Guys' social media and cultural marketing strategies. This position oversees content strategy, community management, earned media, influencer and creator partnerships, and cultural activation efforts designed to support

• Develop and execute a content strategy that authentically reflects the Five Guys brand while making it feel alive, modern, and culturally present.

• Build a content calendar and production rhythm that balances evergreen brand storytelling with real-time cultural moment participation.

Community Management

• Monitor social listening signals to surface emerging trends, brand sentiment shifts, and opportunities for cultural participation.
• Partner with Operations and Guest Experience teams to ensure social community management is coordinated with broader customer care and reputation management efforts.
Cultural Relevance
• Identify and activate cultural moments, trends, and conversations where Five Guys can credibly and meaningfully participate, earning media impressions rather than buying them.
• Develop and execute activations and earned media campaigns designed to land coverage in cultural, lifestyle, and food media beyond traditional trade press.
• Build and maintain relationships with journalists, editors, food and culture writers, and tastemakers who cover the intersection of food, pop culture, and brand storytelling.

• Vet and onboard creator and influencer partners; manage relationships, deliverables, and content review processes.
• Ensure influencer and creator content aligns with brand standards and feels genuinely native to the platforms where it lives.
• Track and report on the performance and earned media impact of creator partnerships.
Team Leadership & Cross-Functional Collaboration
• Lead, develop, and inspire the social media team, establishing a high-performance culture focused on creativity, responsiveness, and results.
• Serve as the internal champion for brand voice and cultural relevance, partnering with Marketing, Digital, Operations, and Legal to ensure consistency and agility.
• Work closely with the Digital and Loyalty teams to coordinate social strategies around loyalty enrollment, app promotions, and digital channel growth.
