Social Distribution Manager, San Francisco

Profound•San Francisco, CA

1d•$110,000 - $150,000•Onsite

About The Position

Profound is on a mission to help companies understand and control their AI presence. As our Social Distribution Manager, you will own how Profound shows up across social channels, with a particular focus on LinkedIn as our primary growth engine. You will build the systems that turn our executives, employees, and customers into a distributed media network. One of your biggest advantages is that Profound produces original research that no one else has. You will partner closely with our research and customer teams to mine insights and turn them into high-performing social content. You will own the pipeline from raw data to viral posts and identify what is interesting, shaping the narrative and getting it in front of the right audiences. This is a role for someone who thinks in systems, obsesses over what makes content spread, and wants to build a distribution engine, not just a marketing calendar.

Requirements

You have built social distribution programs that drove measurable growth, including follower counts, engagement rates, and attributed pipeline, and you can point to results
You understand LinkedIn deeply, including what performs, why it performs, and how the algorithm rewards and punishes different behaviors
You have a strong instinct for what is interesting and can look at a spreadsheet of data or a customer call transcript and spot the insight that will make people stop scrolling
You are a strong writer who can capture executive voice, and ghostwriting feels natural rather than forced
You think in systems and playbooks rather than one-off posts and want to build repeatable engines
You are comfortable working cross-functionally and pulling insights from researchers, customer teams, and product without needing to manage them directly
You are comfortable giving creative direction to video and design resources, even if you are not executing the production yourself
You are analytical and data-informed, measuring what matters and adjusting based on what you learn
You have worked in B2B, SaaS, or tech and understand how to reach and engage a professional audience
You are proactive, organized, and able to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously, including executive content, branded social, employee advocacy, and research distribution

Nice To Haves

Bonus experience with employee advocacy platforms such as GaggleAMP or Sprout, or executive communications programs
Bonus background in data journalism, research communications, or content roles where you have translated complex information into accessible stories
