About The Role
Scribd is looking for a Social Content Lead to build our organic social channels from the ground up, starting with YouTube and LinkedIn. This role decides what Scribd makes for organic social, builds the formats that make it repeatable, while also honing in on further driving our creator program. It's a zero-to-one build, not the upkeep of something already running, which means the first six months are about invention: what the channel is for, what the recurring formats are, who's in front of the camera, etc. This is a hands‑on senior role. You'll finesse the strategy and then go make the thing.

What You'll Do
Channel Strategy & Publishing

Refine what Scribd's social channels are for, who they're for, and what we make for each

Design a slate of repeatable formats and series rather than a calendar of one‑offs, and build the channel architecture to carry them

Own the integrated content calendar across organic social channels

Coordinate with campaign and community management so the channels are running consistently with one voice and tone

Keep stakeholders aligned from brief to publish

Content Development & Production

Concept and script content yourself, in detail. We have production partners, but they execute against your thinking, they don't supply it

Develop concepts with our in‑house brand design team to land the look, feel, and on‑screen treatment before anything goes to production

Brief and manage production partners through pre‑production, shoot, and post, direct on set, and own the review cycle to final cut





Know what each format costs and make the call on what needs a production partner versus what we can shoot, cut, or repurpose internally

Creator Activations

Source, brief, negotiate with, and manage creators, and build a roster rather than a series of one‑off engagements

Own the creator content pipeline end to end, from identifying talent through usage rights to delivery

Develop creator‑led content that runs on our channels and theirs, and know which belongs where

Work with Legal on contracts, rights, and disclosure

Performance & Iteration

Define what good looks like per channel, retention and watch time on our channels

Maintain dashboards in Sprout Social and native platform analytics

Deliver a monthly read to brand leadership on what's working, what's being invested behind, and what's being cut

Run tests on formats, content pillars, and cadence, and flag what's working proactively

Who You Are

6-8 years in social content, organic channel growth, or content production, with time spent building rather than maintaining

You've made content that did more than perform, it brought new people to a brand and changed what they thought about it. You can point to the work and tell us what moved

You write your own concepts and scripts, and you've directed production partners against them rather than waiting for an agency to bring you an idea

You know what's good before the numbers tell you, you can say why, and you can defend a call that isn't the safe one

You've sourced and managed creators directly, including rates, contracting, and usage rights

Strong editorial and writing judgment

Proficient in Sprout Social or a comparable platform, and comfortable in native analytics

Comfortable moving between quantitative performance data and qualitative audience signal

Bonus: media, publishing, subscription, or creator‑economy category experience

Bonus: exposure to paid social, you should understand how paid and organic work together even if you're not buying
