Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Shape and Implement Influencer, Community and Owned Social Strategies: Develop and own the annual vision across all three workstreams, including global strategies, program frameworks, and the playbooks that define how Sonos grows its presence through connection, creator relationships, and owned channels.
  • Build the Global Influencer Program: Define the global influencer strategy and the frameworks, playbooks, and templates that brief regional teams to execute locally. Identify the right approach across tiers and categories, ensure programs feel authentic rather than transactional, and build in room for regions to develop their own programs when local relevance calls for it.
  • Own the Community Strategy: Define the global community strategy and create the frameworks regional teams use to activate it locally. Build engagement on Sonos' owned channels and identify niche communities beyond them where the right partnerships can put the brand story in front of the right people, while leaving space for regions to pursue locally relevant community moments.
  • Execute on Owned Social Vision: Lead and execute Sonos' owned social presence, from strategy to day-to-day output. Work closely with Brand Strategy to ensure the channel reflects the brand's long-term vision, collaborate with Brand Marketing and Brand Creative on campaign and evergreen content ideas, and coordinate with regional teams for influencer content that keeps the feed active and locally relevant.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with Brand Creative, Brand Marketing, PR, Commercial Marketing, and CX to integrate influencer, community, and owned social into broader campaigns, product launches, and earned media moments. Coordinate with CX on owned channel strategy and cross-functional measurement reporting.
  • Build Attribution and Measurement Infrastructure: Establish the measurement philosophy and infrastructure connecting influencer, advocate, and community activity to business outcomes, and report regularly against it.
  • Manage and Develop a Team: Lead, coach, and develop the team executing owned social and community management, setting clear objectives and building a team that executes at a high standard.
  • Budget, Agency and Platform Management: Manage agency relationships, social media management platforms, and the function’s budget, ensuring efficient use of resources and clear accountability for outcomes.
  • Stay Culturally Current: Monitor trends in social, creator culture, and the audio/music/lifestyle space to identify opportunities and moments worth acting on before they become obvious.

Requirements
