About The Role

We’re hiring a Head of Socials to build a social presence people genuinely want to follow. This role exists to significantly raise the bar on how Deel shows up culturally, creatively, and strategically across social platforms.

This is not a traditional corporate social media role. It’s for someone who deeply understands internet culture, knows how to engineer viral moments, and can turn social into a meaningful brand and growth lever. You’ll own Deel’s global social strategy end to end, with the autonomy to build something distinctive and ambitious.

What You’ll Do At Deel

• Own and evolve Deel’s global social media strategy across platforms including TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, and X
• Define and develop a clear, ownable brand voice that feels fun, insightful, aspirational, and platform-native
• Create and ship high-velocity content, balancing one-off viral moments with a consistent always-on engine
• Partner closely with a creative external agency and creators as peers, not vendors
• Lead and develop a small in-house social team (2–3 people)
• Use social listening and cultural signals to insert Deel into relevant conversations in real time
• Balance creative risk with brand integrity, knowing when to push boundaries and when to pull back
• Set clear success metrics and continuously iterate based on performance and audience response
  
  

Some Key Qualifications

• Proven experience creating or leading viral, culturally relevant social content
• Demonstrated ownership of outcomes, not just participation in campaigns
• Strong understanding of how content and tone should vary by platform
• Excellent editorial judgment and storytelling instincts
• Experience working with creators, agencies, and cross-functional partners
• Ability to clearly articulate why content worked, not just that it did
• Comfortable operating in fast-moving, ambiguous environments with high autonomy
  
  

We’d especially love to speak with you if you’ve

• Built or scaled a brand or audience that people actively follow and engage with
• Worked in consumer, lifestyle, challenger brands, or high-growth tech environments
• Created social content that travelled beyond its core audience or category
• Strong writing instincts and intellectual curiosity
• A bias toward action, experimentation, and shipping over perfect process
• A point of view on what great social looks like—and the conviction to back it
