Who We Are
Twitter reflects what’s happening in the world and what people are talking about. Whether a brand is launching a product, promoting its brand story, or jumping into discussions about what matters most, Twitter is the best way to connect with the most valuable audience, when they’re the most receptive.
The Twitter Brand Strategy Team is a global team of marketers, creatives, innovators, and producers. We are endlessly curious, passionate collaborators that care deeply about bringing both fresh solutions and measurable results to our clients. We are embedded and indispensable partners to the sales org and use our deep knowledge of marketing, digital advertising (including mastery of Twitter), and brand-knowledge to influence and deliver outstanding creative and strategic solutions.
Partnering with the top brands in the world, we build ideas that are audience-led, insights-driven, measurable, on-brand, and ultimately lead to a memorable and seamless experience for the end-user. The team is tasked with both “thinking big” and “thinking pragmatically” on behalf of advertisers.
We care about the user experience and design creative solutions that will be useful and delightful for them while also delivering against brands’ objectives/KPIs. We aren’t here for fluff creative or to win awards (although we certainly do!), we are here to generate compelling creative ideas and consultation, rooted in a strategic understanding of brands and Twitter.
What You’ll Do
You will be an embedded senior-level partner to the sales team, dedicated to driving business through both creative and strategic thinking and outputs. You will leverage your experience as a marketer, thought leader, and people leader to oversee all elements of the creative process from ideation to pitch through execution. This role involves working directly with teams within Brand Strategy (Innovation, Production) as well as across Twitter (Research, Content Partnerships, Niche, Legal). You will be looked to as the center of excellence for how to creatively drive business forward - both through work directly tied to your accounts as well as through scaled initiatives that deliver value across the org. Your ability to leverage business acumen behind the scenes will be as important as your ability to “stand and deliver” presentations to C-Level audiences.
Responsibilities & Expectations:
• Sustain track record and commitment to developing creative marketing programs that achieve brand objectives, are executed seamlessly, and deliver measurable results.
• Manage a team of Associate Strategists - serving as a coach and mentor.
• Invest in your team’s development. Foster team growth by serving as an inspiring manager that leads by example, listens, and is a safe sounding board while not shying away from tough development challenges/on-going feedback.
• Represent Twitter as a thought leader and leaned-in partner in client and agency settings, as well as at industry events.
• Be an embedded partner to sales teams, both reactively and proactively working to drive business forward. Bias to yes and ability to establish mutual trust.
• Demonstrate success working cross-functionally to build internal relationships that translate in to meaningful outputs (scaled materials / processes that benefit the team) / ability to influence and drive to consensus.
• Play for the front of the jersey - you see your success as inextricably tied to the team’s and your report’s success. You’d rather see others’ names in lights than your own. You do what is right for the business.
• Sharp business acumen and professional maturity. Self-starter that has a relentless passion for knowing more and doing their best work, balanced with deep respect for the skills that others bring to the table.
• Creative energy and drive to think outside of the box. Leads ideation and brainstorming sessions internally and externally that extract fresh thinking from attendees and results in actionable next steps.
• Storyteller: You don’t compile slides - you know the client’s challenge and develop a narrative that makes them feel heard, delivers against their objectives, and illuminates Twitter’s creative potential and measurable value.
