Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Lead a strategic overhaul of Babylist's social presence, raising the bar on content quality, platform performance, and cultural relevance.
  • Own TikTok end to end as the creative and strategic lead: trendspotting, creator collaboration, hands-on content, and performance optimization.
  • Create content that lands emotionally and culturally with expecting families, delivering joy, humor, empathy, and utility at the right moments.
  • Partner across PR, influencer, brand partnerships, editorial, acquisition, and creative to align messaging and amplify campaigns.
  • Set and track the KPIs that matter, using data to refine strategy and show impact to stakeholders.
  • Turn audience signal, DMs, comments, and cultural observation, into content that builds loyalty and trust.
  • Build the foundation for social at Babylist: scalable systems, smart resourcing, and creative that grows with the brand.

Requirements

  • 8+ years in social media at a consumer-facing brand with 500k+ followers
  • A true TikTok native. You know how organic content thrives and how to work with creators and trends in real time.
  • A hands-on creator of platform-native short-form video. You've storyboarded, filmed, edited, and optimized TikToks yourself, and you'd happily do it again.
  • Fluent across our core platforms: Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and especially TikTok.
  • Able to scale social programs from strategy to results. You've grown audiences and delivered measurable outcomes, not just posted consistently.
  • Analytical and data-driven. You translate social insights into smart pivots and high-impact content calls.
  • Sharp creative judgment and trend fluency. You connect what's happening in culture to what actually makes sense for the brand.
  • Experienced with branded content and partnerships. You know what makes one land on social in a way that serves both us and the partner.
  • An agile communicator who moves at the speed of social. You escalate sensitive feedback, rally teams fast, and make real-time calls clearly, pulling the right people in so Babylist shows up intentionally even in high-stakes moments.
  • Deeply empathetic toward our audience. You understand the fears, excitement, questions, and identity shifts of pregnancy and early parenthood, and that insight makes our channels feel like a trusted, affirming space for expecting families.

Benefits

  • Company-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Retirement savings plan with company matching and flexible spending accounts
