Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Strategy & Vision — Full ownership of D.S. & Durga's social strategy — not just execution, the vision itself.
  • Build a strategy that meets our customer where they actually are, in partnership with founders, Art Director and fractional CMO.
  • Sequence and build step by step — know what comes first, and why.
  • Synthesize the brand's essence into a social context that feels native to each platform, not translated onto it.
  • Content, Built from Our Own Pillars — Character — give every fume its own persona, its own vibe, its own moment.
  • Fume — the notes, the family, the samples, told the D.S. & Durga way.
  • Playlist — build the world beyond the bottle; play in formats other brands can't touch.
  • World Building — educate on the olfactive range without ever sounding like a brochure.
  • Fan Mail — go beyond the algorithm; build the culture club with our most committed fans.
  • Merchandise — make the b(r)and visible, collectible, IYKYK.

Requirements

  • A self-starter who's curious by nature and energized by building something from zero.
  • Creative first, genuinely technical second — platforms and algorithms as craft, not mechanics.
  • A strong communicator who can bring founders, creatives and commercial partners onto the same page.
  • Someone who thinks in sequence — you know how to strategize and build step by step.
  • Comfortable being both the strategist and the person who rolls up their sleeves and gets it done.
  • Plugged into culture, creators and the wider content ecosystem — you'd recognize our Scene Makers, Amplifiers and Youthful Discoverers on sight.
  • 5–7 years of experience in social media strategy, brand content or digital storytelling within beauty, lifestyle or luxury consumer brands.
  • A track record of building social strategies from the ground up, not just maintaining an existing machine.
  • Strong editorial instincts and copywriting ability — tone, wit and nuance, on command.
  • Deep, current understanding of social platforms, algorithms, cultural trends and creator-driven content ecosystems.

Benefits

  • Full Time employees are eligible for medical, dental and vision insurance, employer paid life insurance, 401k plan, pre tax commuter benefits, quarterly gratis, employee discount, long-term & short- term disability leave and much more.
  • Location: Brooklyn, NY (Hybrid- 3 days per week in office)
