WHAT YOU’LL DO Viant is looking for a Communications & Social Media Manager to join a high-performing, fast-moving team at a pivotal moment in the company's growth. This role sits at the intersection of advanced social media strategy, event content strategy, and executive communications - and requires someone who can operate at a strategic level while also rolling up their sleeves to produce polished, high-stakes content. Social media has become one of the most important channels for how Viant shows up in the market - not just as a brand, but through the voices of our executives. As our leaders become more visible and our presence at major industry moments grows, the ability to tell our story in real time, with authenticity and impact, has never mattered more. This role sits at the center of that effort. You'll be joining a communications team that embraces social-first storytelling just as much as building a media list.
