The Block Brand and Purpose team mixes creative, comms, and data to build the Block brand and communicate our purpose of economic empowerment. We’re curious, quirky, quick-witted designers, writers, strategists, technologists, analysts, and economists who work on everything from brand campaigns to deep data analysis. 

We are growing and we’re looking for our first Social Media Lead to help shape the voice of our new corporate brand, Block. This is truly a unique opportunity to unlock your creativity and create inspiring and intriguing content that pushes past the norm and into the digital frontier. No idea is too out there.

As our Social Media Lead, you will partner with the larger Global Communications Team, including designers, copywriters, comms and policy teams, and others. 

When it comes to our social channels, we’re figuring it out as we go. We regularly fall down rabbit holes, revel in double meanings and deep cuts, and take deep dives into the weird, meta nature of the very online community. We stay humble and grounded, and find ways to open our community to everyone. If your brain vibrates at this frequency, join us on this wild ride.

You will report to the Digital Brand Strategist.

*For consideration, please send over several work samples that give us a sense of the range of your writing. We’re interested in seeing creative work and personal projects in addition to your professionally published words.

You will:

• Be the voice of Block on our social channels and help build that voice amongst our different audiences

• Build and manage social media content from concept to execution across all our Block social channels 

• Collaborate with our design, copy, and comms teams to develop creative campaigns and social assets 

• Scout out the latest creative trends and culturally relevant moments to help build insightful content

• Question conventions, push boundaries, and reimagine norms — particularly corporate ones

• Help craft our social media strategy working closely with the Digital Brand Strategist and cross-functionally across the team

• Speak to our purpose of economic empowerment through engaging and impactful content

• Develop a flexible content calendar, working in partnership with key stakeholders across the company to identify relevant opportunities

• Work with other social media leads across the company to ensure messaging is aligned and any issues are raised

• Report on analytics and social sentiment

You Have:

• 5-6 years of relevant experience

• A witty, quizzical, and sometimes geeky personality 

• Experience in crisis communications on social media

• Natural organizational skills, the devil is in the details, and you don’t miss a thing

• Experience in managing social channels and developing digital content for a brand

• Strong interest in DeFi and the future of finance

• A proven track record of building communities online
