Director - Social Media - Mistress - Los Angeles

Job description
At Mistress we know that being social is at the core of being human. As such, we make social the core of all of our campaigns. We don’t see social as an afterthought or just a Facebook post here and there. Instead we see social as creating conversation and excitement that happens to be documented through platforms like Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat and Pinterest. We build activations that are inherently social and bridge between the digital and analog worlds.

As social is at our core, we are looking for a leader. Someone who is constantly looking for the next thing. Someone who isn’t afraid of risks and isn’t satisfied with the “same old, same old” way of doing things. Someone who doesn’t do social “by the book,” but instead is writing the book on how to do social. This role is one part manager, one part strategist, and one part visionary. We can’t wait to hear your vision of a truly social future.
