Starface is seeking a Director, Social Media Marketing to lead the strategic direction of our social presence across platforms.

The right person for this role is deeply strategic but highly executional, creatively sharp without needing to own the creative itself, naturally collaborative, and obsessed with online culture and platform evolution. They know how to turn insights into action, write strong briefs that inspire great work, and create systems that make teams stronger.

At Starface, we love people who defy convention and welcome an attitude of exploration into the bold and creative in all that we do.

• Lead the social content calendar and ensure every piece of content ladders back to a clear strategic purpose

this role is for you if

• You’ve spent 6+ years leading social strategy and managing owned channels for a consumer brand, ideally in beauty, fashion, lifestyle, or CPG
• You’ve worked at a brand known for strong social storytelling and cultural relevance—not just large media budgets
• You know TikTok and Instagram natively and understand how platform behavior evolves in real time

• You have hands-on experience aligning organic and paid social teams in meaningful ways
• You know how to write briefs that creatives actually want to use
