o Turn insights into action. Analyze user data to inform content, promotion, and audience strategies, as well as sales and marketing. Collaborate with team members responsible for reporting on platform performance.

o Innovate! Based on the data, do you have an idea for a social-first content program? Based on our editorial plans, is there a particular user segment we should invest in more?

In order to be successful in this role, we need someone who has:

o Experience and success in writing copy and social posts that resonate with targeted users.
o Expertise in digital marketing technology, the mechanics of capturing data, and best practices in managing related processes.
o Experience partnering with agencies.
