INTRODUCTION
As Head of Social for Square, you’ll sit within Brand Strategy & Marketing and own social as a channel: its strategy, audience, content calendar, community, and performance. This is an individual contributor role with no internal team; you’ll be the primary point of contact for social, partnering with the Brand Lead and your creative counterpart to connect Square’s positioning to the work that gets published. Your primary focus will be organic and owned content, with responsibility for advancing brand perception goals and partnering with paid teams so organic and paid reinforce each other.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
You Will
- Set the social strategy for Square. Define what social is for, what it does that other channels cannot, and what it is deliberately not for. Connect that strategy to Square’s positioning in partnership with the Brand Lead.
- Define the audience and measures of success. Identify who Square is talking to on social, what they care about, and where they spend time. Make that understanding the foundation of the strategy, and establish the channel’s key success metric and the rationale behind it.
- Build and own the social content calendar. Plan for major brand campaigns and moments alongside a consistent, always-on content program, showing how both support Square’s brand perception goals.
- Bring cross-team activity into social with intent. Work with partnerships, the Brand Lead, and other teams to identify what belongs on social and how it should show up. Be the primary point of contact for requests and make decisions about channel fit.
- Partner with paid social and media teams. Ensure organic and paid activity reinforce each other as part of a connected approach.
- Shape the role of creators and influencers. Identify where they can credibly support Square’s social strategy, audience, and campaign goals. Partner with Partnerships, Brand, Demand Generation, Legal, and agencies on recommendations, vetting, briefing, disclosure guidance, and performance readouts.
- Take content from idea to publication. Work with your creative counterpart to develop and publish content, balancing strategic intent, quality, and the pace social demands.
- Own community management. Define how Square shows up in replies, comments, and direct messages, and maintain a consistent brand voice in partnership with creative.
- Turn social listening into action. Monitor conversations about the brand, campaigns, product launches, category, competitors, and emerging issues. Translate those signals into clear readouts, recommendations, and escalation notes for partner teams.
- Apply judgment to trends and timely opportunities. Know what is moving on social, assess its relevance to Square’s positioning, and move quickly on opportunities that fit while passing on those that do not.
- Support Communications-led crisis and issues management. Monitor inbound activity and sentiment shifts, recommend channel responses, route urgent issues, and help protect owned channels through Sprinklr workflows or moderation guidance.
- Be accountable for channel performance. Track progress against the agreed success metric and Square’s brand perception goals, alongside content consistency and quality, campaign integration, community health, and the effectiveness of cross-team partnerships.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship in Head Of Social
Frame your portfolio around measurable outcomes
U.S. employers assessing E-3 visa specialty occupation need evidence your role requires degree-level expertise. Present campaign metrics, team leadership scope, and strategic P&L impact to support both the offer letter and the LCA filing.
Target employers with existing LCA filing history
Search the DOL's public LCA disclosure data for marketing and communications roles. Employers who have filed LCAs before understand the process and are less likely to withdraw an offer over sponsorship paperwork.
Address specialty occupation in your cover letter
USCIS requires the Head of Social role to normally require a bachelor's degree in a specific field. Your cover letter should explicitly connect your communications or marketing degree to the strategic responsibilities in the job description.
Clarify visa timeline expectations before accepting an offer
E-3 consulate appointments in Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth currently book out several weeks. Negotiate a start date that accounts for LCA certification time plus your consulate wait, so you don't lose the role over a scheduling gap.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for your LCA and paperwork
The LCA must be certified by the DOL before you can attend your consulate appointment. Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service handles the full process from LCA submission through consulate preparation, so no steps fall through after you accept an offer.
Verify your Australian degree meets the equivalency standard
A three-year Australian bachelor's in communications or marketing is generally accepted as equivalent to a four-year U.S. degree for E-3 purposes. Gather your official transcripts before you start interviewing so credential questions don't stall a late-stage offer.
E-3 Visa Head Of Social: Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I find Head of Social jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for Australians searching for U.S. roles with E-3 sponsorship. Rather than filtering through general job boards, you can search Head of Social and broader social media leadership roles where employers are open to the E-3 process, saving significant time in the employer identification stage.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does a Head of Social role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
Yes, provided the employer requires a bachelor's degree in a specific field such as communications, marketing, or digital media. The key test is whether the degree is a normal requirement for the role, not merely preferred. Roles where any bachelor's degree is accepted regardless of field are harder to qualify, so the job description wording matters when your employer files the LCA with the DOL.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for Head of Social roles?
The E-3 has a 10,500 annual allocation that has never been fully used, so there's no lottery and no random selection. The H-1B is subject to an annual lottery where most applicants are not selected regardless of qualifications. For a Head of Social role, the E-3 means your offer can move straight to LCA filing and a consulate appointment without waiting months to learn whether you were even entered into the system.
Can I change employers while on an E-3 as a Head of Social?
Yes, but the E-3 is employer-specific. Your new employer must file a fresh LCA with the DOL and you'll need a new visa stamp if your current one has expired or will expire before you start. There's no portability provision like AC21 for H-1B holders, so plan for a four to six week transition window to accommodate the LCA certification and any consulate scheduling.
