Founded by Daniel Lubetzky, our community spans 5M+ citizens, 650M video views, and 400+ movement partners including José Andrés, Katie Couric, Adam Grant, Lonnie Ali, and Karl Rove. Through a growing ecosystem of content, tools, partnerships, and activations, we turn civic engagement into meaningful action - empowering people to participate, collaborate, and deliver real-world impact to enact lasting change.\nAbout the Position\nBuilders has built something rare: a highly engaged, cross-partisan community who are actively leaning in. The infrastructure is there. The audience is real. Now we need a strategic digital leader who knows how to take it to the next level as part of our forward-thinking Marketing team.\nThe Director of Digital Strategy sits at the center of four interconnected priorities: social strategy, paid media, audience insights, and platform growth. Developing and executing strategies across every platform that deepen engagement with our existing community while systematically expanding our reach to new audiences. That means owning how Builders shows up and scales across every channel - from Instagram and TikTok to YouTube, where there is a significant opportunity to build a strong, engaged presence - while ensuring every campaign and content decision is grounded in data and driving measurable results.\nThis is a high-ownership role for someone who is equally at home in the data as they are in the cultural conversation. You know what makes audiences grow, what makes them stay, and what makes them act. You understand how platforms work - algorithmically, culturally, and commercially - and you bring the analytical rigor and creative instinct to turn that knowledge into compounding results. Critically, you don’t just measure digital performance: you own the insights function across campaigns, serving as the connective tissue between strategy and execution and ensuring the organization always knows how its work is landing.\nReporting to the CMO, you will partner closely with the Creative Director and the Editorial Director to ensure digital strategy, content, and communications are integrated and moving at the speed of culture. This is an opportunity to cultivate and shape how one of the most important civic movements and communities grows - and to build the systems that make that growth sustainable.\nResponsibilities\nSocial Media Strategy & Community Building\nOwn Builders’ social media strategy across all platforms - setting the vision, standards, and playbooks that guide how the team shows up, engages, and grows across every channel. Develop platform-specific strategies that reflect how audiences actually behave on each channel.\nLead and develop the social media team, fostering a culture of creativity, experimentation, and accountability to both quality and performance.\nPrioritize community quality over vanity metrics, developing strategies that build a highly engaged, loyal audience rather than chasing follower counts, and setting the organizational standard for what meaningful engagement looks like.\nDevelop and execute a creator strategy that spans ideological diversity - finding credible voices on both the left and right who can authentically carry cross-partisan, solutions-oriented stories.\nLead YouTube strategy as a significant growth opportunity - developing a channel vision, content framework, and growth plan that builds Builders’ presence into a meaningful destination for civic storytelling and community engagement.\nStay ahead of platform algorithm changes, emerging formats, and cultural trends - translating shifts in the landscape into concrete recommendations the team can act on quickly.\nPaid Media Strategy\nLead paid media strategy across social, search, and programmatic channels - owning the approach to audience targeting, creative testing, and spend allocation.\nPartner with the CMO on budget planning and media mix decisions, bringing data-driven recommendations on where investment will drive the greatest growth.\nDevelop and manage a rigorous creative testing framework - ensuring every campaign generates learnings that compound over time.\nOversee paid media execution in partnership with external agencies or in-house teams, holding partners accountable to performance standards and strategic alignment.\nContinuously optimize campaigns based on performance data, adjusting targeting, creative, and spend in real time - ensuring campaign learnings compound over time.\nInsights, Analytics & Performance\nServe as the organization’s strategic lead on campaign insights - owning the frameworks, dashboards, and reporting cadences that give the CMO and senior leadership a clear, integrated view of how strategy is being realized through execution across all channels, not just digital.\nDefine and track social & media KPIs across awareness, engagement, conversion, and audience growth - connecting the dots between what was planned, what was executed, and what actually moved the needle.\nTranslate performance data into clear, actionable recommendations that inform future strategy - identifying what’s working, what isn’t, and where the organization should double down or course correct.\nOwn social listening as a strategic function by using qualitative signals, audience sentiment, and conversation trends to inform content strategy, identify emerging opportunities, and understand how Builders’ message is landing in the real world.\nTechnology & AI\nChampion smart, strategic use of AI and emerging technology tools across digital workflows - from content optimization and audience targeting to reporting automation and trend detection.\nEvaluate and recommend tools that increase the team’s speed, precision, and impact - with a focus on tools that enhance strategy rather than replace it.\nStay informed on the evolving AI and martech landscape, bringing forward-looking recommendations to the CMO on where technology can give Builders a meaningful edge.\nCross-Functional Leadership\nServe as the digital strategy thought partner to the CMO, Creative Director, and Editorial Director - bringing data and platform expertise into every major content, campaign, and communications decision.\nPartner with the Editorial Director, Creative Director, GTM lead, Civic Impact team, and Daniel Lubetzy’s social team to ensure social strategy and content are tightly integrated - the right message reaching the right audience in the right format on the right channel.\nManage external vendors, analytics partners, and paid media agencies - setting clear expectations, holding partners accountable, and ensuring strategic alignment.\nRequirements\nRequired\n7-10 years of experience in digital strategy, growth marketing, or paid media - with a portfolio that demonstrates both strategic leadership and hands-on execution.\nDeep, current fluency across major social and digital platforms - you understand how they work algorithmically, culturally, and commercially, and you stay ahead of how they’re changing.\nProven track record of driving measurable audience growth and engagement through integrated organic and paid digital strategies.\nStrong analytical skills and comfort with data - you can build a performance framework, interpret the results, and translate them into strategy without needing a data team to do it for you.\nExperience leading paid media campaigns across social, search, and programmatic channels, including budget ownership and agency management.\nExceptional strategic communication skills - you can synthesize complex data and platform dynamics into clear and compelling recommendations for senior leadership.\nA genuine pulse on culture: you consume media voraciously, you notice what’s breaking through and why, and you bring that instinct into your strategic thinking.\nExperience working in a fast-moving, mission-driven, or startup-like environment where you’ve had to build systems while simultaneously executing against them.\nCollaborative and entrepreneurial by nature - you thrive in cross-functional environments and know how to bring editorial, creative, and marketing teams along with you.\nGenuine enthusiasm for the Builders mission and the ability to apply your craft in service of a cross-partisan, solutions-oriented civic movement.\nNice to Have\nExperience in civic, advocacy, nonprofit, or public affairs communications.\nExperience scaling digital audiences for a media brand, movement, or public figure.\nExposure to AI-assisted marketing workflows and tools.\nBenefits\nCompetitive annual compensation [$135,000 -
