Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Ideate and manage the execution of social content across owned organic, paid, and retail channels, delivering creative that is both highly original and strategically aligned.
  • Support growth, engagement, awareness, and brand love across Starface’s social channels by creating content that reaches new audiences, builds loyalty, and drives positive sentiment.
  • Evolve Starface’s creative approach across existing platforms and emerging channels, helping us stay best-in-class as the brand scales.
  • Maintain Starface’s brand integrity while continuing to push the creative boundaries of what our social content can be.
  • Manage, mentor, and support one direct report, helping them grow creatively while ensuring strong execution and follow-through.
  • Lead creative brainstorming, oversee content execution, identify opportunities for improvement, and give thoughtful feedback across social creative work.
  • Source, brief, contract, and manage creators from start to finish, including both traditional influencers and more unexpected creative collaborators such as artists, ceramicists, makers, and other culturally relevant creators.
  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional partners across marketing, retail, creative, copy, external agencies, and other key stakeholders.
  • Translate marketing, launch, brand, and retail briefs into social-first creative ideas that are timely, on-brand, and executable.
  • Build strong working relationships with internal and external partners, ensuring all asks and briefs are delivered on time.
  • Bring a clear point of view to the work, proactively sharing ideas, opportunities, and areas for improvement.
  • Understand how creative needs to flex across platforms, including Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, paid social, organic channels, and new/emerging spaces.
  • Balance quantity and quality of output, increasing the volume of strong social creative without sacrificing craft, taste, or brand consistency.

Requirements

  • You have 5+ years of experience in social, ideally with a creative or art direction background rather than a purely marketing-led social background.
  • You have experience managing at least one direct report and know how to support, guide, and grow creative talent.
  • You are deeply online and genuinely understand what is happening culturally, especially with Gen Z and Gen Alpha.
  • You know how to think beyond trends. You understand algorithms and platform behavior, but you are not boxed in by them.
  • You have a strong eye for social-first creative and understand what makes content compelling, whether you are directing, briefing, reviewing, or partnering with creators to produce it.
  • You’re experienced working with creators and know how to write strong briefs, give clear feedback, and manage content from initial sourcing through final assets.
  • You can balance big, unexpected creative thinking with excellent execution, organization, and follow-through.
  • You have strong communication skills and are comfortable selling your ideas, navigating feedback, and working through approval processes.
  • You are highly detail-oriented and know how to distinguish between what needs to be perfect and what can move quickly.
  • You are excited by new platforms, communities, creative approaches, and the opportunity to help shape what Starface social can become.
