Why This Role Is Different

Our Platform Consulting Strategists (PCS) don't manage content calendars or brief creative teams.

Instead, they partner directly with clients to assess where they are today, identify where they could be tomorrow, and equip them with the knowledge, frameworks and confidence to build stronger social brands.

Whether it's delivering an audit, running a strategy workshop or creating a bespoke social playbook, your work will educate, inspire and empower clients to think social-first.

What You'll Be Doing

This isn't your traditional social media role. We're looking for someone who lives and breathes social, understands platforms inside out, and can confidently help brands unlock their full potential.

You'll work directly with clients as a trusted consultant, auditing their social presence, identifying opportunities for growth, and developing practical strategies that drive results.

You'll be expected to:

• Conduct in-depth social media audits across platforms, identifying strengths, weaknesses and untapped opportunities.
• Develop social playbooks, strategic frameworks and workshop materials that educate clients on social-first thinking.
• Lead client workshops and present recommendations with confidence, bringing platform expertise and strategic thinking to every conversation.
• Consult with brands on how to build audiences, create platform-native content and develop social strategies that actually work.
• Stay on top of platform updates, trends, audience behaviours and industry shifts, translating them into actionable advice for clients.
• Partner with clients to solve business challenges through social, becoming a trusted advisor rather than simply a project manager.
• Be hands-on with social media strategy, understanding what it takes to grow communities, create engaging content and build culturally relevant brands.
• Continuously research industries, competitors and audiences to uncover new opportunities and fresh insights.
• Partnering with creator/influencer, analytics, creative and media partners to provide best in class social content and/or recommendations

What We're Looking For

We're after a social-first strategist who loves getting into the detail and isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves. Someone who's curious, proactive and passionate about helping brands become better at social.

You'll ideally have:

• Experience in Social Media Management, Social Strategy, Account Management or Consulting with a strong social focus.
• A deep understanding of Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook and emerging platforms, including what makes content perform on each.
• Experience conducting social audits and turning findings into clear, actionable recommendations.
• Confidence presenting to senior stakeholders, facilitating workshops and educating clients.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to simplify complex social strategies into practical actions.
• A genuine curiosity about culture, industries, audiences and evolving platform behaviours.
• A proactive, go-getter mindset with the confidence to challenge thinking and introduce new ideas.
• Strong analytical skills, with the ability to identify opportunities through data, trends and platform insights.
• A passion for helping brands build meaningful communities and create social content that earns attention.

We treasure Personality and Experience yet we do know that these qualifications lead to what WE KNOW as a success:

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English
• Bonus points if you consider yourself to be an expert in popular culture
• Consider oneself a Social Media “know it all” and have experience working across a variety of social platforms: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, etc.
• Can combine creativity and analytics with the ability to convert into a story
• Innate curiosity and ability to adapt + be flexible, whether with new tools, platforms, processes, etc.
• Any experience using the following social listening tools is a plus but not mandatory.
• Any experience putting together presentations in written form using google slides

What you SHOULD KNOW about VaynerMedia

Think “lab” and not “agency”. We get excited about solving business problems, not creating advertising for the sake of making advertising. Our entrepreneurship DNA runs deep. We’re willing to break rules, try new things, and test hypotheses if it means better understanding our craft. It’s fun!

We believe 100% that brands can be built on digital platforms and part of our model is built bottom up, flipping the traditional advertising model and process on its head. We don’t play to agency/industry norms and our culture and energy reflects that.

Our environment (and pace) feels much more like a start-up than most agencies you might be used to. Hopefully that, and the opportunity to collaborate with the talented and enthusiastic crew, work with big brands excites you, as it does us. We can’t wait to meet you.
