About the Role

Job Title: Senior Director, Social Media and Influencer Growth Marketing

Reports to: Chief Marketing Officer
Location: Mountain View California or New York Office Hybrid (3 days office)

We believe social is one of the clearest paths to winning as a business, and this role requires the strategic range to prove that out: building the fully integrated social ecosystem that turns social into one of the biggest levers Gen has right now.

About the Team

You'll join the Marketing Leadership Team, working alongside peers who lead brand and growth, media and performance marketing, Gen Studio (our in-house creative studio), communications and corporate marketing, partner marketing, and AI transformation. Together, we drive integrated marketing acquisition and brand building across Gen's portfolio.

You'll own social and influencer/creator strategy end to end. You'll lead, develop, and scale our social team and the function as it grows. This is your chance to build out the social and influencer capability from the ground up, creating the operating model that makes social a critical part of Gen's direct to consumer growth engine.
