Associate Manager, Lifestyle Content & Social Strategy

What will you do?

A day in the life of an Associate Manager, Lifestyle Content & Social Strategy at The North Face looks a little like this.

The Associate Manager, Lifestyle Content and Social Strategy will play a key role in shaping how The North Face shows up in culture through social-first lifestyle storytelling. This person will help define and evolve how lifestyle appears across The North Face's global social channels, translating product, partnerships, events, and cultural relevance into content that feels current, elevated, and distinctly TNF.

This role requires a hybrid skillset: part strategist, part creative producer, part cultural editor, and part operator. The ideal candidate is deeply tapped into culture, content, and social behavior, while also bringing rigor around planning, reporting, execution, and cross-functional collaboration. They should be equally comfortable developing ideas, briefing agencies, refining content, managing calendars, and using performance insights to optimize what comes next.

Alongside the Director of Social Media and Influencer, this person will help evolve The North Face's lifestyle presence beyond a standalone channel, ensuring lifestyle storytelling is thoughtfully integrated into the broader global social ecosystem in a way that feels modern, aspirational, and brand-right.
