Description
Publix Super Markets tops the list of privately-owned supermarkets in the US. We hold no long-term debt and continue to grow year after year. Publix and our associates excel in community involvement, volunteerism, and environmental sustainability. Our collective commitment to diversity has contributed to our success in being a great place to work and shop. It's satisfying to work for - and be an owner in - a Fortune 100 company that is widely recognized as a leader in the supermarket industry.
Within our Customer Care and Social Media department, the Social Media Manager of Brand Advancement leads the strategy of organic social media content inspiring powerful connections with followers, fostering loyalty, positive sentiment, and love for Publix. A world-class collaborator, the manager partners with departments throughout the organization to source opportunities creating content that is both informative and engaging for the Publix brand.
In Publix's corporate offices, we value in-person interactions, similar to those our store associates have with customers. Many of Publix's corporate offices offer work from home up to two days a week. Each business area implements their policy differently and should be discussed during interviews.
What you'll do
- lead the strategy of organic social media content driving positive engagement, customer advocacy, and affinity for the Publix brand
- develop an audience-focused content strategy for social media channels
- lead, motivate and develop a team of brand storytellers who bring stories to life through engaging content that resonates with our followers
