As the Social Creative Manager at Zendesk, you'll help define what great social-first creative looks like for a global technology brand.

We're looking for a creative thinker and hands-on maker who knows how to turn big ideas, complex technology, and timely conversations into content people actually want to engage with.

AI fluency is important, too. We're looking for someone who is excited to experiment with emerging creative tools to make production smarter and unlock new possibilities, without sacrificing originality, authenticity, or editorial judgment.
