Huckleberry is building a brand that becomes the trusted voice for parents navigating the everyday, and social media is one of the most direct, human expressions of that brand and a key growth engine for the company. This role is a Brand Manager, Social Media that owns the strategy, execution, and evolution of our social presence across key platforms.
You'll be a genuine strategic partner, developing platform-specific strategies rooted in business goals, building a content system that reflects how real parents think and feel, and creating the measurement infrastructure to understand what's working and why. You'll collaborate closely with our Brand Manager and Influencer Marketing Manager, reporting to the Director of Brand Marketing & Communications.

Cross-functional collaboration: Partner with brand, product, and growth teams to integrate social into broader campaigns and product marketing moments, while contributing to the larger brand-building efforts
