POSITION SUMMARY

As a Social Media Strategist supporting one of North America’s leading beverage companies, you will bring a strong foundation in organic social strategy, paired with a working understanding of paid social to develop holistic, omni-channel marketing strategies. With experience in CPG and preferably the beverage industry, you will guide a portfolio of 10 brands through a variety of always-on and campaign-based initiatives.

You will act as the lead strategic voice within the social team—synthesizing business objectives into actionable, audience-first strategies that come to life across monthly content calendars, annual plans, and tentpole activations. Your role requires exceptional organization, comfort managing multiple simultaneous workstreams, and the ability to communicate strategic vision clearly to both internal teams and client stakeholders, from brand managers to senior leadership.

This role may include team management responsibilities, such as overseeing Social Media Coordinators, and requires strong leadership skills regardless of formal reporting lines.
