Summary Generated by Built In

We are a fast-growing consumer brand building culturally relevant, performance-driven digital ecosystems across Mexico and the US. We operate with a strong builder mindset, combining creativity, data, and execution to scale brand presence and audience engagement across platforms.

Social and community are at the core of how we show up. We don't just want to be seen or bought — we want the brand to be felt. We believe in high ownership, fast execution, and content that is native, relevant, and impactful within each platform.

Job Description

We are looking for a Social & Community Lead to own our digital content, communication, and community strategy across owned platforms in Mexico and the US, within our in-house creative unit.

This is a strategic and hands-on leadership role with a dual mandate: delivering marketing objectives through digital, and building a community with true cultural relevance. You will orchestrate organic content and paid media behind a single strategy, and lead a community management team across MX and US.

You'll work closely with brand, insights, performance, ecommerce, and in-house production/art teams to turn strategy into content that connects — while continuously optimizing based on performance and community signals.

Nice to have:
