As our brand presence evolves, our digital outputs must keep pace with that change and be a consistent first touch point with our customers, employees, and other stakeholders. Our social media channels play a key role in advancing the perception of Leidos as visitors consume our content and are increasingly centered on targeted and personalized engagement.

This role will also educate and inspire the rest of the marketing and communications team to tell our story more effectively through social, not to mention the wider business through advocacy. Likewise, community management will be a key deliverable day-to-day; ensuring listening, reporting, and response to inbound inquiries are efficiently handled.
