Why This Role Matters
Social media generates massive amounts of data – but data only matters if it leads to better decisions. We need someone who can turn that data into clear insights that help our social team and brand partners understand what's working, what's not, and what to do next.
As our Social Media Analytics Manager, you'll be the go-to expert for measurement across our social channels. You'll build the dashboards and frameworks that make performance visible, translate complex data into recommendations people can actually act on, and help both our internal team and brand marketing partners get smarter about how they use analytics.
This is a hands-on role with strategic impact. You'll do the work and shape how we think about measurement.
What You'll Do
Analyze social performance across platforms and turn findings into clear, actionable recommendations for content, community, and strategy teams
Build and maintain dashboards and reporting systems that make it easy to see what's working and optimize in real time
Define and evolve the KPIs that actually matter – moving beyond vanity metrics to measure engagement quality, sentiment, and business impact
Partner with brand marketing clients and internal social teams to help them understand the data and use it to make better decisions
Identify trends, opportunities, and risks by analyzing our performance alongside competitor and industry benchmarks
Create standardized measurement frameworks and processes that can scale across multiple brands and platforms
Work with social listening and analytics tools (like Sprout Social) to pull insights and automate reporting where possible
Educate stakeholders on analytics best practices – helping people ask better questions and interpret data more effectively
What You Bring
4–6+ years of experience in social media analytics, digital analytics, or marketing measurement
Strong working knowledge of social platforms (organic and paid) and how to measure performance across them
Hands-on experience with social analytics tools like Sprout Social, native platform analytics, or similar
Proven ability to turn data into stories and recommendations that non-analysts can understand and use
Experience building dashboards or reports that people actually rely on to make decisions
Comfortable working across teams – you can translate between creative, strategy, and data people
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; you're naturally curious and love digging into the "why"
Excellent communication skills – you can present insights clearly whether it's in a deck, an email, or a conversation
Post-secondary education in marketing, analytics, business, or related field
Nice to Have
Experience with data visualization tools like Tableau or Power BI
Familiarity with retail, CPG, or multi-brand environments
Experience integrating social data with other marketing data sources
Background in developing measurement frameworks or standardizing reporting processes
What Success Looks Like
In your first year, you'll:
Build measurement frameworks and processes that give the social team better insights and help drive stronger performance
Turn complex data into recommendations that teams act on – not just reports that sit in inboxes
Raise the analytics IQ across the social team and with brand partners through education and collaboration
