Role:  Social Program Manager

Location:  Remote, Canada

 

About the role: 

As Social Program Manager, you'll act as the eyes and ears of LinkedIn.  You'll monitor platform trends, identify content opportunities, and match them against weekly brand priorities — then work across internal teams and subject matter experts to gather the insights needed to bring those opportunities to life. 

You'll think in formats — knowing when a post, a comment, a reshare, or a long-form piece is the right move — and you'll present your recommendations in a way that respects executives' time and communication preferences. Your success depends as much on how you work with people as on what you find. 

 

What you will be doing: 

  • Manage recurring executive content distribution programs, including newsletters, content roundups, and rapid-response communications that enable executives to amplify timely thought leadership and company news.
  • Maintain and evolve executive social media enablement resources, including playbooks, profile optimization guidance, and self-service social toolkits.
  • Monitor LinkedIn daily to identify emerging trends, conversations, and content opportunities relevant to the client's industry and audience
  • Cross-reference platform trends with weekly brand priorities to surface the most timely and relevant content angles for executives
  • Coordinate with internal subject matter experts, spokespeople, and stakeholders to gather insights, perspectives, and supporting information
  • Develop clear, concise content recommendations — including format options — tailored to each executive's voice, audience, and objectives
  • Prepare executive briefing materials that make it easy for senior leaders to understand the opportunity and decide how to respond
  • Create briefings for the creative team to develop different assets.
  • Build and maintain a structured system for tracking trends, content ideas, and executive feedback over time
  • Manage relationships with multiple stakeholders simultaneously — following up proactively, respecting response times, and keeping the program moving
  • Maintain a strong working knowledge of LinkedIn's algorithm, formats, and professional audience behaviors 

 

What you need to be great in this role: 

  • Experience designing and managing operational processes, approval workflows, stakeholder touchpoints, and content governance frameworks for multi-stakeholder programs.
  • Demonstrated experience supporting executive communications — understanding how senior leaders communicate, what they need, and how to make their lives easier
  • Strong social intelligence — able to read LinkedIn trends quickly, assess their relevance, and connect them to brand and business priorities
  • Excellent written communication skills, with the ability to distil complex information into clear, concise executive-ready briefs and recommendations
  • Confident coordinator — comfortable reaching out to and managing responses from multiple stakeholders, including senior leaders and subject matter experts
  • Deep understanding of LinkedIn's content formats, platform dynamics, and professional audience behaviors
  • Experience developing content format recommendations across organic social — knowing when and why different formats serve different purposes
  • Highly organized with strong attention to detail — able to track multiple workstreams, deadlines, and stakeholder threads simultaneously
  • Experience with social listening and analytics tools such as LinkedIn Analytics, Sprinklr.
