• Identify and lead innovation opportunities across platforms, formats, creator partnerships, and technology.
• Expand and professionalize influencer and creator strategies, evolving from tactical collaborations to long‑term, value‑driven partnerships that support brand equity and performance.

Brand & Creative Leadership

• Lead social strategy across key brand moments, launches, and integrated campaigns.
• Translate brand positioning into powerful and consistent social storytelling, while allowing for local relevance.
• Work closely with the Creative Director and the Multimedia Studio to shape social‑first creative excellence.
• Safeguard brand consistency, tone of voice, and quality across all social touchpoints globally.
• Directly manage and develop a social media team, providing vision, clarity, and coaching.
• Build future‑ready capabilities, elevate seniority, and set clear expectations for performance and impact.

Senior Stakeholder & Executive Management
