Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own and deliver on D&D’s overarching social media strategy, including distinct channel strategies for each platform—understanding what makes Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, Facebook, and others fundamentally different, and crafting platform-native approaches that improve reach, engagement, and brand relevance on each.
  • Stay relentlessly current on social media trends, platform updates, algorithmic shifts, and best-in-class brand behavior—actively engaging with other brands, creators, and community voices to keep D&D culturally relevant and at the forefront of digital culture.

  • Serve as a strong internal communicator and advocate for social needs—partnering with Product, Marketing, Creative, and Franchise teams to influence the development of content that enables a best-in-class social strategy.

  • Strong analytical skills: proficiency with social analytics tools (Sprinklr, Sprout Social, Brandwatch, native platform analytics, or similar), ability to interpret data, and a track record of translating insights into strategic decisions.
  • Excellent communicator—able to present analytics, recommendations, and campaign results clearly to a wide range of collaborators, including senior leadership.
