About the job
About Turn
Turn is a creative-led, founder-built lifestyle brand on a mission to shape the future of cannabis/hemp, health/wellness, and culture. We’re not building toward the next milestone — we’re building toward market leadership, community relevance, and billion-dollar potential.
Social media isn’t just a marketing tool for us, it’s the engine of brand velocity, voice, and movement.
We're now hiring a Director of Social Media Strategy to report directly to the CMO — a creator, analyst, trend-hacker, team-builder, and culture translator who can build a powerful, scalable social system from the ground up. If you’ve ever paused a TikTok mid-scroll to analyze why it didn’t pop, and rewrote the hook in your head — you're probably our kind of person.
What You’ll Do
- Build and lead the social media team from zero to legendary.
- Own and drive the full social roadmap — from daily posts to quarterly campaigns.
- Design a scalable creative ops system for asset development, reviews, and publishing.
- Translate brand tone and voice into native content for every relevant platform: IG, TikTok, X, Threads, Reddit, Discord, and emerging spaces.
- Develop influencer and UGC strategies that feel like collaboration, not transactions.
- Identify, jump on, and create trends — faster than the algorithm can.
- Build community systems that blur the line between content, conversation, and culture.
- Report on performance weekly, with both metrics and meaning: what worked, why it did, and what’s next.
- Collaborate with the founders, creative team, and across the company to ensure the brand voice is consistent — and constantly evolving.
Who You Are
- A proven social strategist who’s scaled brands, built teams, and launched campaigns that moved culture — not just racked up views.
- Deeply fluent in memes, motion, marketing, and momentum.
- Passionate about analytics and obsessed with testing.
- Confident presenting ideas — and defending them with logic and results.
- Not afraid of sweat equity. You want the shot, not just the salary.
- Detail-oriented. You give a sh*t about thumbnails, captions, cropping, and copy.
- Equally creative and operational — you love both storytelling and systems.
- Comfortable moving fast in industries that live in the gray: disruptive, regulated, and evolving.
- Culturally literate and subculture fluent — you can spot what’s brewing online before it goes mainstream.
We Need Proof
We’re looking for leaders, not posters. Show us:
- Case studies or social channels you’ve built.
- Campaigns you’ve led.
- Stats, screenshots, decks, receipts — whatever tells the story.
- Bonus points if you can break down a current trend and tell us how you’d remix it for Turn.
The Vibe
We’re scrappy, fast, and allergic to corporate. We’re here to bend culture — not chase it.
If you want hierarchy, guardrails, and corporate ladders — you’ll hate it here.
If you want chaos, creativity, and ownership — you’ll thrive.
Compensation & Equity
This role starts with competitive compensation and a performance-based equity. If you're looking for a cozy salary and unlimited PTO on day one, this isn't the role. If you're looking for impact, ownership, and the chance to shape a breakout brand from the inside — you're in the right place.
Note: Compensation grows as the brand scales, and we’re also offering skin in the game.
