Head of Social, Vulture

HEAD OF SOCIAL, VULTURE

Reports To: Managing Editor

Social media is a linchpin of Vulture’s editorial operation — it’s an essential component of everything we produce and the businesses that support those efforts. We’re looking for a Head of Social to oversee that department. This person and their team will collaborate on all the work that Vulture produces and promotes, including articles, video, podcasts, games, and live events. The ideal candidate is a strategic thinker and lover of culture who is as comfortable in a creative brainstorming session as they are poring over editorial analytics. The job is fast-paced and often involves juggling multiple projects, so strong prioritization and communication skills are vital. 

What you’ll do:

• Determine the most effective ways to reflect Vulture’s sensibility, tone, and perspective across key platforms. 

• Create and publish engaging content. 

• Establish the necessary social strategies and tactics to help Vulture meet goals relating to audience reach and engagement, subscription conversion, sponsorship fulfillment, and brand-building. 

• Monitor social performance and use data-driven insights to refine tactics and influence editorial decisions.
