Job Title: Director, Social Media & Digital Content
Department: Marketing
Reports to: VP Marketing
Job Type: Full Time / Exempt         
Location: Hybrid (New Jersey-Based)
           
Job Summary:
The Director, Social Media & Digital Content is a senior strategic leadership role responsible for shaping and executing a best-in-class, social-first content ecosystem across Beautynova Americas’ professional haircare portfolio: milk_shake®, DEPOT®, and Medavita. This role sits at the intersection of brand strategy, professional authority, cultural relevance, and platform-native execution. Working closely with the brand marketing and education teams, you will translate brand vision and product innovation into compelling, high-impact content that serves both professional communities (stylists, barbers, educators) and end consumers, without compromising credibility or craft. You are the connective tissue between brand aspiration and real-world execution — ensuring our content is not only beautiful and engaging, but strategic, culturally fluent, and performance-driven. You understand that content is not a downstream output of campaigns — it is a critical driver of brand equity, education, and growth.

Responsibilities:
Strategic Content Leadership (Pro-First, Digital-First)
  • Define and lead the overarching content vision and POV across all three brands, grounded in professional expertise and elevated for digital culture.
  • Develop global and regional content frameworks that balance education, inspiration, storytelling, and performance — empowering teams to move quickly without diluting brand integrity.
  • Champion a social-first, platform-native mindset, ensuring content is designed for where professionals and consumers actually engage — not retrofitted from traditional assets.
  • Translate brand strategy, product launches, and educational initiatives into robust content strategies that ladder directly to business objectives.
  • Ensure each brand maintains a distinct voice and role in culture, while operating within a cohesive Beautynova content ecosystem.
Cross-Functional Partnership & Brand Translation
  • Act as a strategic partner to Brand Marketing, Education, Sales, Performance Marketing, and Creative, ensuring content is embedded early in campaign and launch planning.
  • Bridge the gap between professional authority and social relevance — helping internal stakeholders understand what resonates in culture without sacrificing credibility.
  • Collaborate with media, PR, partnerships, and retail teams to create integrated content ecosystems across earned, owned, paid, and trade channels.
  • Foster strong relationships with global teams to align content planning, toolkits, and asset creation while allowing for regional nuance.
Social, Community & Advocacy Leadership
  • Lead the strategic direction of social media, community, and advocacy efforts across platforms including Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and emerging channels.
  • Build content strategies that serve professional engagement, education, and advocacy alongside consumer discovery and brand love.
  • Push beyond vanity metrics — ensuring content drives meaningful KPIs across engagement, consideration, conversion, and brand health.
  • Stay ahead of platform evolution, cultural shifts, and professional industry trends — anticipating what’s next, not reacting late.
  • Champion experimentation, testing, and learning to continuously refine what performs and why.
Content Production & Operations
  • Oversee end-to-end content strategy and production — from ideation and briefing through shoots, post-production, optimization, and syndication.
  • Build scalable, efficient content models rooted in a “shoot once, use everywhere” mentality, without sacrificing quality or craft.
  • Ensure the right balance of in-house talent, freelance creators, professional artists, and agency partners to deliver against ambitious calendars.
  • Own content planning and calendars across brands, ensuring alignment with product launches, education moments, events, and commercial priorities.
Team Leadership & Capability Building
  • Lead, mentor, and develop a high-performing social and content team, fostering a culture of creative excellence, accountability, and growth.
  • Build organizational capability in content strategy, platform fluency, and performance optimization.
  • Create an environment where strong ideas can come from anywhere — and where feedback sharpens the work, not slows it down.
  • Provide investment and resourcing recommendations to ensure content dollars work as hard as possible.
Required Skills/Abilities:
Experience & Leadership
  • 10+ years of experience in content strategy, social media, digital marketing, or creative leadership roles.
  • Proven experience leading teams across social, content creation, and production.
  • Track record of building and scaling content strategies for beauty, grooming, lifestyle, or professional-led brands.
  • Experience working with internal teams, agencies, creators, and production partners.
  • Strong understanding of how to balance brand-building and performance-driven content.
Strategic Thinking & Cultural Fluency
  • Deep understanding of how content ladders to brand strategy, education, and business objectives.
  • Strong instinct for cultural relevance — especially within professional and creator-driven ecosystems.
  • Hands-on knowledge of social platforms and content formats, and what actually performs vs. what just looks good.
  • Fluent in analytics, reporting, and optimization — measurement is a given, not an afterthought.
Creative Vision with Operational Rigor
  • Equal parts visionary and executor — you can set the bar high and build the systems to meet it.
  • Ability to scale content without losing consistency, quality, or authority.
  • Strong editorial eye and storytelling sensibility, with the ability to give clear, constructive feedback.
Collaborative, Pro-First Leadership
  • A natural bridge-builder who elevates ideas across teams and disciplines.
  • Respected partner to education and professional communities — you understand that credibility is earned.
  • Confident decision-maker who can push boundaries while protecting long-term brand equity.
Physical Requirements and Working Conditions:
  • Hybrid work environment with a combination of in-office and remote work.
  • Prolonged periods of sitting and working at a computer.
  • Occasional lifting of up to 15 pounds.
