Job description

About the Role

We are looking for a Social Media Director who will own the entire Social Media Department from strategy and client relationships to creative direction and team leadership. This is not a purely managerial role; the Director must be equally strong on the creative and operational side, capable of stepping into any responsibility on the team at any time. They will serve as the final decision-maker on content, strategy, and client-facing communication, while also building, training, and developing the department itself.

Responsibilities

Client Leadership

• Serve as the primary client-facing leader for the department, not just communicating updates, but leading strategy calls, presenting recommendations, and confidently navigating difficult conversations.

• Attend client meetings alongside the team and maintain full visibility into each client's goals, launches, and overall marketing strategy.

• Hold their ground with clients when needed, ensuring strategic decisions are backed by sound reasoning.

Creative & Operational Ownership

• Act as the final approval on all content, campaigns, strategy, and creative direction before anything goes out.

• Stay up to date on every client's activity to provide informed, strategic input at all times.

• Be fully capable of performing every responsibility held by Specialists and Managers on the team (posting, analytics, reporting, coordinating with Video Editor, Graphic Designer/other departments, etc.) and step in personally when needed.

• Use this hands-on knowledge to evaluate whether the team is executing correctly and identify areas for improvement.

Team Leadership & Development

• Own the hiring, interviewing, onboarding, and ongoing development of the department's team.

• Run team meetings and training sessions, continuously helping the team sharpen their skills.

• Make confident, difficult leadership decisions when necessary, including delivering tough feedback or letting someone go.

Systems & Organization

• Maintain strong proficiency across all company systems, including Monday.com, GHL, Google Drive, Slack, Metricool, and social media tools, along with the workflows connecting departments.

• Guide the team on internal processes and understand how work flows across the company as a whole.

• Bring a high level of organization to Google Drive, documentation, SOPs, and team systems, creating structure rather than simply managing people.

Strategic Marketing Oversight

• Understand marketing holistically, not just social media, including how campaigns work, how content supports launches, how to build authority, and how social media fits into the broader marketing strategy.

• Ensure the department's output supports business goals beyond just producing engaging content.

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience leading a social media or marketing team in a client‑facing capacity.

• Strong creative judgment paired with solid operational and analytical skills.

• Confidence in leading strategy discussions and handling high‑stakes client conversations.

• Experience hiring, training, and developing team members.

• Familiarity with project management and workflow tools such as Monday.com, GHL, Google Drive, and Slack.

• A strategic mindset that connects social media efforts to broader marketing and business objectives.

• Highly organized, structured, and detail‑oriented approach to documentation and team systems.

• Must have personally managed an account with 100K+ followers and demonstrated measurable revenue growth for clients.
