  • Manage influencer product seeding and maintain an organized, scalable content asset library 
 

Public Relations & Earned Media

  • Lead PR planning and execution, including press releases, media outreach, and product sampling programs 
  • Align PR timing with innovation pipelines, marketing campaigns, and retailer strategies 
  • Identify and activate real-time and cultural opportunities to elevate brand relevance 
  • Oversee product placement opportunities across entertainment and media 
  • Monitor brand sentiment using social listening tools; proactively flag risks and identify opportunities 
  • Support retail media integration by aligning editorial storytelling with key selling periods 
  • Deliver monthly earned media reporting with actionable insights 
 

Cross Functional Leadership & Agency Management

  • Lead and manage social and PR agencies, ensuring high-quality execution and continuous optimization 
  • Partner closely with Brand, Creative, eCommerce, Trade, and Retail Media teams to deliver integrated programs 
  • Develop clear, compelling presentations showcasing performance, insights, and strategic recommendations 
  • Ensure operational excellence through strong planning, communication, and on-time delivery across initiatives.  
 
What Success Looks Like
  • Consistent delivery of on-brand, high-performing social and PR programs 
  • Strong creator partnerships that drive both engagement and retail impact 
  • Seamless integration across brand, retail, and media strategies 
  • Elevated brand presence in culture through timely, relevant storytelling 
  • Clear, actionable reporting that demonstrates business impact 
 
Qualifications/skills:
  • Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Communications, or related field 
  • 5+ years of experience across social media, influencer marketing, and/or public relations 
  • Deep understanding of key platforms (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Reddit) and emerging channels 
  • Proven ability to manage multiple workstreams in a fast-paced environment 
  • Experience leading agencies and working cross-functionally 
  • Strong project management, communication, and storytelling skills 
  • Analytical mindset with a focus on performance and outcomes
