ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The Senior Manager, Social Media Strategy leads Huron's global social media strategy and content direction across all channels and geographies, shaping how the Huron brand shows up externally. This role owns a living social strategy end-to-end, balances hands-on content creation — including independent filming and editing — with strategic direction-setting, and educates and enables subject matter experts (SMEs) and employees across the enterprise to serve as strong brand representatives through employee advocacy resources.
The Senior Manager works as a strategic partner with Communications and Marketing to support social and digital content needs, consistently advancing enterprise goals of growing people, margins, and revenue, and balancing strategic planning with hands-on execution to deliver high-quality results. This is a build-and-do role on a lean team: the right person is energized by setting the pace, is entrepreneurial, and comfortable producing content when needed.
Social Media Strategy
- Own Huron's global social media channel strategy (defining the distinct role, audience, and content mix for each platform) and continuously evolve the channel portfolio, expanding, consolidating, or retiring channels as business priorities and audience behavior shift.
- Align social content and campaigns to business development priorities, connecting Huron's expertise with clients and prospects to support pipeline and growth goals.
- Define and maintain a platform-native content strategy for LinkedIn (primary channel), Instagram (growth priority), and YouTube, with an understanding of how each platform serves a distinct audience and business objective.
Content Direction and Creation
- Set content direction and campaign priorities for the Social team and content creators to execute against, providing clear briefs and quality standards.
- Actively lead hands-on content development, including on-camera interviews with subject matter experts and video editing for high-visibility and executive moments.
- Produce short-form and long-form video content independently — primarily on iPhone or similar mobile device — with proficiency in editing tools such as CapCut, Adobe Premiere, or similar. Comfort operating a dedicated camera when the situation calls for it is expected.
- Travel an estimated 15–20% of the year to lead or support content creation for:
- Executive and leadership visibility moments
- Industry conferences
- HR and recruiting events
- Major internal and enterprise-wide gatherings
- Own organic social media strategy, collaborate closely with Digital Marketing to shape an effective, strategic paid media approach that is fully aligned with organic content and channel priorities.
- Bring a storytelling-first mindset to content development — thinking in narrative arcs, not just content formats, and applying that lens to everything from a LinkedIn text post to a filmed executive feature.
Cross-Functional and Business Partnership
- Represent enterprise-wide goals in social strategy, aligning priorities across business areas rather than a single function.
- Partner with Marketing leaders and business unit leadership shaping how social supports campaigns and business priorities.
- Partner with HR on employer-brand and talent-related content.
- Manage an editorial intake and prioritization process across multiple business units with competing content requests, maintaining a clear governance model that upholds social standards.
Visibility and Thought Leadership
- Partner with business and industry leaders and SMEs to translate their expertise into externally facing social content (e.g., LinkedIn thought-leadership posts, expert commentary, video features).
- Support leader and SME visibility on social specifically, helping position them as credible voices and go-to sources within social conversations relevant to their expertise.
- Conduct structured on-camera interviews with subject matter experts, drawing out compelling, audience-friendly narrative from technical or complex topics — often in compressed timeframes and without production crew.
SME Enablement and Employee Advocacy
- Lead Huron Connect, Huron's employee advocacy platform, including strategy, adoption, and content pipeline.
- Recruit, train, and coach content managers, SMEs, and employee advocates, and build the tools and education that help them authentically and effectively represent the Huron brand on their own channels.
- Guide the organization through change as social strategy, tools, and expectations evolve.
Governance, Reputation and Issue Support
- Serve as final approver of content and brand presentation across all social channels, maintaining visual and voice consistency across channels and geographies.
- Own social governance processes and editorial standards, maintaining alignment with Communications, Marketing (including Brand), and Content teams.
- Monitor social channels for negative sentiment, reputational risk, and emerging issues, exercising judgement on when and how to escalate to the appropriate Communication, Legal, or HR partner.
- Support issue- and crisis-related communications on social, including message development, holding statements, and cross-functional alignment during sensitive moments.
Measurement and Reporting
- Synthesize channel-level reporting into strategic insights and recommendations that connect social performance to business outcomes, not vanity metrics.
- Track performance against campaign goals and always-on content using KPIs such as engagement quality, audience growth, reach, and content performance by channel and format.
- Prioritize proactive engagement signals including reactions, shares/reposts, comments, and clicks, to understand how audiences engage with content, and apply these insights to improve what's produced platform-to-platform.
- Monitor trends and the competitive landscape, recommending strategy shifts and setting the team's test-and-learn agenda.
Team Leadership and Development
- Manage, develop, and grow the Social team, setting priorities and quality standards while empowering ownership of execution.
- Coach the team and broader organization on social and content skills and brand standards.
- Lead as a player-coach: this is a small team and the right leader remains actively involved in execution — particularly in video production, on-site content creation, and SME enablement.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- Bachelor's degree in Communications, Marketing, Journalism, Digital Media, or a related field.
- 8–10+ years of progressive social media, digital content creation, marketing, or corporate communications experience, including experience at an enterprise or multi-business-unit organization.

- Proven track record of social media strategy that drives measurable business growth across core platforms (LinkedIn, Meta, and YouTube).
- Documented audience growth results on LinkedIn and Instagram, with specific figures and a clear description of the strategy behind them.
- Demonstrated hands-on video production experience: filming on iPhone or similar mobile device, independent field content creation, and proficiency with at least one video editing tool (CapCut, Adobe Premiere, Adobe Creative Suite, DaVinci Resolve, or comparable platform).
- Experience conducting on-camera interviews with subject matter experts, including preparation, question design, and post-production editing.
- Experience owning or leading an employee advocacy program — including platform strategy, content pipeline, and advocate training.
- Chicago location preferred, given regular filming at our headquarters studio.
- Willingness to travel an estimated 15–20% of the year for on-site content shoots and events.
- Portfolio link required.
CORE SKILLS AND COMPETENCIES
- Social and Digital Platform Mastery: Deep expertise across LinkedIn, Instagram (including growth strategy for a B2B audience), YouTube, and emerging channels, translating platform trends into Huron-specific strategy and AI-assisted content workflows.

- Business Acumen: Connects social and content strategy to enterprise goals of growing people, margins, and revenue.
- Planning and Organizing: Manages concurrent campaigns and long-range planning, coordinating resources and partners to keep initiatives on track, displaying proficiency with project management and scheduling tools such as Wrike and Sprout Social, or similar platforms.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship in Social Media Strategy
Document your specialized platform expertise early
Pull together certifications, campaign performance records, and portfolio evidence before you start applying. PERM requires your employer to define a specific job with defined requirements, and your credentials need to match that description precisely.
Target employers with PERM filing history
Search DOL OFLC disclosure data to identify companies that have filed PERM applications for marketing or communications roles. Employers who have done it before face less internal friction and move faster through the certification process.
Use Migrate Mate to filter for green card sponsoring employers
Search Migrate Mate to find Social Media Strategy roles at companies actively filing PERM applications. This cuts out employers who may support H-1B visa transfers but have never pursued permanent sponsorship for marketing professionals.
Confirm your role qualifies as a specialty occupation
Review the O*NET occupation profile for your target job title and check whether a specific bachelor's degree field is listed as the standard entry requirement. PERM petitions can stall if the employer's job description is too broad to establish degree specificity.
Negotiate sponsorship into your offer before signing
Ask the hiring manager to confirm PERM sponsorship in writing during the offer stage, not after onboarding. Some employers will sponsor H-1B extensions but draw the line at permanent labor certification, and clarifying this early prevents costly delays later.
Understand how PERM timelines affect your I-140 priority date
PERM certification currently takes over a year through DOL, and that date does not become your USCIS priority date until the I-140 is filed. Build this into your employment planning so your status remains valid throughout the full green card queue.
Green Card Social Media Strategy: Frequently Asked Questions
Do Social Media Strategy jobs typically qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 green card sponsorship?
Most Social Media Strategy roles qualify under EB-3, which covers positions requiring a bachelor's degree in a specific field such as marketing, communications, or digital media. If your role requires a master's degree or you hold one and the employer's job description reflects that, EB-2 may apply. The category depends on how the employer defines the position's minimum requirements in the PERM application.
How does green card sponsorship differ from H-1B sponsorship for this role?
H-1B is a temporary work visa with a three-year initial period and annual cap constraints. Green card sponsorship through PERM leads to permanent residency with no renewal cycle. There is no annual cap at the EB-3 level for most countries, though per-country backlogs affect nationals from high-demand countries. The process is longer, typically two to four years from PERM filing to a green card, but the outcome is permanent employment authorization in the U.S.
What does the PERM process actually involve for a Social Media Strategy hire?
Your employer files a PERM application with DOL certifying that no qualified U.S. workers were found through a required recruitment process. For a Social Media Strategy role, the employer must conduct specific advertising steps, document applicant evaluations, and define the minimum job requirements before filing. DOL then reviews the application and, if certified, the employer files an I-140 petition with USCIS to establish your priority date.
How do I find employers who sponsor green cards for Social Media Strategy roles?
Use Migrate Mate to search for Social Media Strategy positions at companies with active PERM and I-140 filing history. Many employers sponsor H-1B visas but have never filed a PERM application for a marketing role specifically. Filtering by green card sponsorship activity before you apply saves significant time and avoids late-stage surprises during offer negotiations.
Can my employer start PERM while I am on an H-1B or OPT?
Yes. PERM can be filed while you hold any valid work authorization, including H-1B or OPT. Starting PERM early is strategically important because it takes over a year to obtain DOL certification, and the I-140 priority date does not start until USCIS receives that filing. Beginning the process before your current status expires preserves your options and reduces the risk of a gap in authorized employment.
