This role owns seven interconnected workstreams that collectively define how we goal, amplify, optimize, monetize, and operationalize social and creator marketing across the organization. This is not a support function — it is a strategic leadership role with direct ownership over goal-setting, investment decisions, platform relationships, new capability development, and cross-org alignment.

Lead creator boosting including agency consolidation, measurement, and optimization to drive earned engagement at scale. Make real-time optimization decisions in a high-ambiguity environment with no existing playbook.

- Platform Relationships: Build and own platform relationships with Meta, TikTok, and Google/YouTube. Launch first-of-their-kind programs and activate opportunities that drive outsized organic reach.
- Ad Sales Enablement: Partner with advertising sales to define packages that commoditize organic social posts and creator content as scalable brand partner inventory, while protecting organic integrity.
- Cross-Org Strategic Alignment: Serve as the strategic bridge between Social, Programming, Marketing, and Theatrical. Operationalize decision-making processes so leadership has full context and impact assessment before ratifying direction.
