Head of Social Media

San Francisco, CA or Remote

About the Role

Philo is looking for a strategic, creative, and hands-on Head of Social Media to lead our organic social presence across entertainment, culture, and community.

This person will own social strategy, editorial planning, and platform-native content creation — bringing strong instincts in writing, filming, editing, design, and trend-driven execution. They’ll partner closely across Marketing, Design, Programming, Customer Support, Legal, and external creators to keep Philo’s social presence timely, consistent, and unmistakably Philo.

Responsibilities

  • Own Philo’s organic social strategy, editorial calendar, and channel approach across key platforms, with a strong focus on short-form video, Reels, Tiktok, YouTube Shorts, and emerging formats.
  • Create, film, edit, design, publish, and optimize platform-native social content, including video, graphics, memes, captions, carousels, and trend-driven posts.
  • Bring a strong creator/creative ethos to the role, understanding what makes content feel native, shareable, entertaining, and worth watching.
  • Develop social campaigns around programming priorities, cultural moments, giveaways, partner needs, and audience-specific initiatives.
  • Maintain Philo’s social voice and ensure content feels confident, approachable, audience-first, culturally aware, and unmistakably Philo.
  • Collaborate with Design, Brand, Growth, Product Marketing, Customer Support, Legal, agencies, and external creators to bring social ideas to life.
  • Support influencer and creator partnerships through creator sourcing, briefs, content review, and performance learnings.
  • Oversee community management, moderation, and escalation standards across social channels, Reddit, and app store reviews.
  • Use performance data, community feedback, and audience insights to inform content, creative, and marketing recommendations.

Qualifications

  • 7+ years of experience in social media, content creation, entertainment marketing, brand marketing, or a related field.
  • Proven experience leading organic social strategy, editorial planning, content development, publishing, and reporting for a consumer-facing brand.
  • Strong hands-on skills in filming, editing, short-form video, social design, meme creation, writing, and platform-native storytelling.
  • Deep fluency in short-form video, especially TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.
  • Has a strong curiosity about trends and developments in the social media landscape including new and emerging platforms.
  • A strong portfolio of social work that shows creative range, platform fluency, and content that has meaningfully driven engagement, reach, conversation, or cultural relevance.
  • Experience with tools like CapCut, Adobe Creative Suite, Canva, Figma, Sprout Social, or similar platforms.
  • Strong creative instincts around TV, entertainment, pop culture, memes, fandom, creator culture, internet behavior, and what makes content shareable.
  • Excellent writing, editorial judgment, project management, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
  • Experience with programming launches, partnerships, giveaways, cultural moments, community moderation, and creator/influencer collaborations.
  • Ability to balance strategy and execution — leading the vision while also making the work when needed.

What Success Looks Like

  • Philo’s social presence feels consistent, timely, culturally relevant, and unmistakably Philo.
  • Social content becomes more platform-native, creative, shareable, and balanced across video, design, copy, memes, and trends.
  • Short-form videos become stronger, more intentional parts of Philo’s organic social strategy.
  • Organic social provides useful audience insights that inform broader marketing and creative strategy.
  • Cross-functional teams have a clear social partner who can translate priorities into strong content quickly.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
