Ideal Candidate

Someone who can manage both sides of the Command Centre — listening to what customers are saying and helping brands act on those conversations.

You should be able to go beyond reporting metrics to understand what is driving conversations, how they are shaping brand perception, which conversations require immediate action, and what the brand should do next.

We are looking for someone who can combine social intelligence, customer understanding, ORM execution, and crisis awareness to help brands listen, respond, protect, and strengthen their reputation.
