Strategic Integration: Partner with Brand, Fresh, and Trade leads to translate enterprise priorities into full-funnel social strategies across paid, owned, and earned channels.

Team Leadership: Manage and mentor a team of four leads and planners, building a culture focused on creativity, data, and operational quality. Budget & Agency Oversight: Direct a $25M paid social budget.

Manage agency partners, production workflows, and media allocation to ensure maximum ROI and financial accountability.

At least 6+ years leading large-scale social strategy in a complex corporate enterprise, major retailer, or tier-one agency.

Proven experience in both client-side and agency environments, balancing internal stakeholder management with getting top value from creative partners.

Proven track record of managing and mentoring diverse teams, while acting as a trusted advisor to senior executives, business unit leads, and commercial entities such as retail media arms

Demonstrated experience managing and optimising agency operating models, including accountability for multi-million dollar production budgets and agency workflows.

Deep technical mastery across paid, organic, creator, and emerging AI social search, with the critical judgment required to orchestrate a unified, full-funnel measurement framework.
