Summary:

Age of Learning, creators of ABCmouse, is seeking a Director of Social Media to significantly grow our presence and following among parents and caregivers across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and other priority channels.

This is a hands-on, highly creative role for a social leader who knows how to make a brand worth following. You’ll bring fresh, distinctive ideas that connect with moms and families, spark conversation, and give people a reason to watch, share, and come back. You’ll build a strong rhythm of platform-native everyday content while also developing bigger moments—events, stunts, partnerships, and campaigns—that can capture attention and leave a lasting impression.

You’ll own organic social strategy and execution, including content creation, community engagement, and creator and brand collaborations. You’ll connect ABCmouse’s educational mission to real parenting conversations and turn audience insights, cultural moments, and platform trends into engaging content and meaningful growth.

Success will be measured by brand awareness, audience growth and engagement, and social’s contribution to subscriber acquisition.

Responsibilities:

• Lead social strategy: Define ABCmouse’s social voice, editorial direction, and channel-specific plans. Set a clear growth vision that connects parent interests and platform behavior with brand and business priorities.
• Develop distinctive ideas: Bring forward original, culturally relevant concepts that make ABCmouse stand out in parents’ feeds. Build both a consistent stream of everyday posts and ambitious events, stunts, collaborations, and campaigns designed to spark conversation and create lasting impact.
• Create and publish content: Develop compelling, platform-native videos, copy, and visuals; manage the content calendar; and work with creative resources on production and editing. Stay close to the work, from shaping concepts to reviewing and publishing content.
• Grow and engage our community: Build an active, engaged audience of parents, especially moms. Guide daily conversations and responses, and use social listening to understand what parents care about and inform content, messaging, and product feedback.
• Activate creators and partnerships: Develop and execute creator, user-generated content (UGC), and brand collaborations from concept through publication. Identify partners and opportunities that can help ABCmouse reach new audiences and create content people want to share.
• Connect social with broader marketing: Partner with brand, creative, communications, SEO, lifecycle, and performance marketing teams to bring campaigns to life, coordinate production, and extend successful content across channels.
• Measure and improve performance: Set clear goals, test formats and ideas, and turn results into actionable insights. Partner with analytics to assess social’s contribution to brand awareness, site traffic, app installs, and subscriptions.
• Maintain brand standards: Ensure a consistent, channel-appropriate voice; coordinate with Legal on claims, disclosures, and creator agreements; and partner with Communications on sensitive issues and escalations.
• Stay ahead of trends: Track platform developments, cultural moments, and parenting conversations. Judge which trends and opportunities make sense for ABCmouse, then move quickly to turn them into timely content and growth opportunities.

Minimum Qualifications:

• 7+ years of social media experience, with a demonstrated record of significantly growing brand audiences and engagement.
• A strong creative point of view and a track record of developing ideas that earn attention, encourage sharing, and make a brand more relevant to its audience.
• Strong understanding of Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook, including their distinct audiences, formats, and community behaviors.
• Hands-on content creation skills, particularly short-form video, compelling copy, and visual storytelling.
• Experience using social management and analytics tools to guide decisions and communicate results.
• The ability to independently own strategy and daily execution while coordinating cross-functional partners and creative resources.
• Excellent communication skills, sound creative judgment, and the ability to adapt quickly.
• Bachelor’s degree in marketing, communications, or a related field, or equivalent experience.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with creator collaborations, brand partnerships, or co-marketing is a plus.
• Experience developing high-impact social activations, events, or campaigns that helped grow an audience or increase engagement is also a plus.
