Shopify’s Social Media team, part of our broader Brand & Audience Expansion team, executes clear communications and engaging experiences, while blazing the trail for an innovative user experience for our merchants, developers, and followers across social channels and digital platforms. As a Social Lead, Developer on the Social Media Team, you’ll bring developer audience and technical subject matter expertise to a highly collaborative and creative group of marketers. You’ll engage external developers who build Shopify apps, themes and custom storefronts, and act as the primary point of contact for Product teams on milestone moments like Editions and Editions.dev. You’ll create content that brings product launches and demos, and technical conversations to life across a variety of platforms and channels. You’ll own and drive campaigns and content in support of Shopify’s developer community, end-to-end, while engaging in timely conversations with the developer audience on social media. Authenticity is key for social, so you must be technically literate, ensuring you can genuinely engage with our developer community (more in qualifications below). You’ll need to work independently, while bringing along the right collaborators and stakeholders. The potential to thrive in an ambiguous, hyper-growth environment should excite you.
