Relevance Strategist, Tech

Overall Purpose

Strategy at VaynerMedia provides a crucial perspective on business dynamics. We are a human-centric, culture-obsessed discipline where we dive deep into audience insights, media trends, cultural shifts, and technical innovations. Our team is collectively redefining and modernizing how clients harness consumer intelligence, develop brand strategy, and plan for attention.

We are partnering with one of the most influential tech companies in the world (Microsoft) to drive social content that commands attention. We aren't looking for a "social media manager" to schedule posts or a "brand strategist" for static decks. We need a Relevance Social Strategist specializing in the Tech, AI, and Cloud sectors: a rare hybrid who is as comfortable debating the merits of a tech stack or the nuances of senior developer culture on Reddit as they are dissecting why a specific TikTok hook went viral.

You will be the bridge between complex cloud computing and internet-first creative. Your goal is to take one of the world’s most sophisticated tech stacks and make it the most culturally resonant brand in the digital landscape. You will turn B2B decision-making into "must-watch" social entertainment.

Key Areas of Responsibility

• Earned Social Strategy: Design, write and communicate social-first creative across platforms that prioritizes organic reach with IT Decision Makers (ITDMs), Business Decision Makers (BDMs), and Senior Developers.
• B2B Relevance: Position the client at the center of the "Great Cloud" conversation, AI and tech product solutions, making complex technical topics accessible and culturally relevant to engineers and executives alike.
• Social Showrunning: Concept and drive recurring social formats (mini-series, live streams, or platform-specific "shows") that build loyal audiences, translating complex technical briefs into creator-led social content. Work daily with a creative team, helping them with the KPI of organic views. 
• Influencer & Creator Partnerships: Identify and educate the team on emerging voices in the Tech and AI space. Maintain deep knowledge of technical creators - from GitHub legends to YouTube hardware geeks - to co-create content with built-in credibility.
• Trend Harvesting: Conduct daily scans of the social landscape (Cloud, DevOps, AI) to identify real-time cultural signals and formats, allowing the brand to "act fast" before the news cycle becomes stale.
• Creative Partnership: Partner closely with social creators to ensure technical products and messages are paired with actionable cultural insights to fuel high-performing content.
• Reporting & Insight: Deliver reports on social conversations and community sentiment, serving as a flexible strategic resource deployable across multiple initiatives.

Manage Community: Be comfortable commenting and interacting with a social community, bringing positive attention to places within the category, on social media. 

Experience & Knowledge Required

• Technical Cultural Fluency: A deep background in Tech and an understanding of the ever changing, always on AI conversation with a genuine finger on the pulse of the Cloud Computing space. You don’t just find the news; you understand the underlying technology and how to speak authentically to developers and IT consultants.
• Deeply Networked: You live in the culture of Tech and AI: connected to the right communities, subreddits, and events. This world is second nature to you.
• Social Mastery: Proven experience in social strategy, content curation, or community management for nuanced audience segments and technical cohorts.
• Analytical Skills: The ability to spot early cultural signals and translate them into strategic value for clients, even in the absence of traditional strategy frameworks.
• Communication: Exceptional writing skills for crafting internal reports, cultural stewardship, and POV documents.
• Soft Skills: Strong curiosity, "go-getter energy," and a bias for action to ensure insights drive tangible, executable creativity.

Who You Are

• You believe "B2B" shouldn’t stand for "Boring-to-Boring."
• You speak the language of tech but have an instinctive understanding of viral creative and platform mechanics.
• You spend your weekends lurking in niche subreddits or watching video essays on tech history.
• You have a "hacker mindset": you like to experiment, break things, and find the shortcut to attention. You are chronically online, deep in the web and know you’re way around a suite of tech products. You know and understand social media, creative thinking and the creator economy.
• You can confidently defend a high-concept creative idea to a room full of C-suite engineers.

The Litmus Test: If you know the difference between a container and a virtual machine, and you also know exactly why a specific audio clip is trending on TikTok, we want to talk to you.

Job Title: VP of Communications Planning (Social-First, CPG)

Overview

We’re looking for a VP of Communications Planning to lead integrated communications strategy for a major CPG client within a social-first agency model.

Our approach is grounded in a clear operating model: strong insights create relevance, relevance earns attention, and attention drives behavior. This role is responsible for ensuring that every communications plan is built from real human insight—translated into culturally resonant ideas that capture attention and drive measurable business outcomes.

Equally critical to success in this role is a deep, instinctive understanding of culture. The right candidate doesn’t rely solely on research to “find” relevance—they are actively embedded in culture and able to recognize it in real time. They bring a point of view shaped by participation, not observation, and can translate fast-moving cultural signals into immediate strategic and creative opportunities.

This is not a “plan and hand off” role. You will work closely with creative, media, and analytics teams to ensure ideas are not only strategically sound, but built to earn attention in-market—and continuously improved based on performance.

Reporting into the Strategy Lead, you’ll own communications planning across the CPG account, partner closely with senior leaders in media planning and buying, and lead a team of strategists to elevate how we think and work, in addition to supporting other accounts within the group.

Champion Insight-Led, Culturally Fluent Planning

• Lead the development of sharp, actionable insights grounded in human behavior, cultural context, and platform dynamics

• Ensure every communications strategy is rooted in a clear, defensible insight that translates into culturally relevant creative expression

Operationalize Insight → Relevance → Attention → Behavior

• Partner closely with creative teams to ensure ideas are designed to earn attention within platform and cultural realities
• Contribute to the development of creative territories, content systems, and channel-native executions
• Bring a strong point of view on what will work in-feed, in culture, and in context—not just in theory

Support Test, Learn, and Iterate in Market

• Stay close to live work, partnering with analytics and creative teams to understand what is driving attention and why
• Identify patterns in performance and translate them into creative and communications optimization
• Champion a test-and-learn approach where strategy evolves based on real-world feedback and cultural response

Own Communications Planning for the Account

• Lead full-funnel, cross-channel strategy across campaigns, launches, and always-on activity
• Define the role of channels across paid, owned, earned, and creator ecosystems
• Build communications architectures that reflect how people actually discover, engage, and act

Bridge Strategy and Media Execution

• Partner with VP-level leaders in media planning and buying to translate strategy into actionable, optimized media plans
• Align communications strategy with investment decisions, platform mix, and in-market performance

Lead and Grow a Team

• Manage and mentor a team of communications planners/strategists
• Coach junior team members on how to identify insights and connect them to cultural relevance, creative ideas, and communications strategy
• Instill a consistent approach grounded in insight, relevance, attention, and behavior

Drive Integration Across Functions

• Ensure tight collaboration across strategy, creative, media, influencer, and analytics
• Champion a connected ecosystem across content, media, creator partnerships, and cultural touchpoints

Champion Measurement & Learning

• Define success across the full chain: insight strength, cultural relevance, attention quality, and business outcomes
• Build clear test-and-learn agendas and learning frameworks
• Translate results into forward-looking strategic and creative recommendations

Who You Are

• 10–15+ years of experience in communications planning, media strategy, or integrated brand planning
• Strong experience leading communications strategy for large, complex CPG businesses
• Proven ability to uncover compelling human insights and translate them into effective communications and creative direction
• Deeply attuned to culture, with the ability to recognize and apply emerging cultural signals in real time
• Experience working closely with creative teams and contributing to idea development and iteration
• Deep understanding of how platform dynamics and creative execution influence attention
• Proven ability to partner closely with media planning and buying teams
• Experienced leader with a track record of developing strong strategic thinkers
• Clear, compelling storyteller with strong client presence

What Sets You Apart

• You don’t stop at the plan—you care how the work shows up in the world
• You have a genuine, lived-in understanding of culture—not just awareness, but participation
• You know what makes ideas resonate in culture and earn attention in-feed
• You use performance and cultural signals as inputs—not just reports
• You connect insight, idea, execution, and outcome seamlessly
• You build teams that think, test, and evolve

Why Join Us

• Lead communications strategy on a high-profile CPG account
• Help define and scale an insight-led, culturally fluent, attention-first planning model
• Work at the intersection of strategy, media, and creative execution

What you should know about VaynerMedia

Think “lab” and not “agency”. We get excited about solving business problems, not creating advertising for the sake of making advertising. Our entrepreneurship DNA runs deep. We’re willing to break rules, try new things, and test hypotheses if it means better understanding our craft. It’s fun!

Our environment (and pace) feels much more like a start-up than most agencies you might be used to. Hopefully that, and the opportunity to collaborate with the talented and enthusiastic crew, work with big brands excites you, as it does us. We can’t wait to meet you.

P.S Portfolio would be nice :)
