Vice President, Brand and Market Strategy

We are seeking a bold and strategic VP of Brand and Market Strategy to define how the market understands SOCi… and the category we are creating.

This is a mission-critical leadership role. You are not just building a brand… you are shaping the narrative for an entirely new category at the intersection of AI, local search, and multi-location marketing. You will define our market positioning, elevate our voice, and ensure everything from executive storytelling to product messaging ladders into a single, powerful story.

This is a brand-led role (60%) with executive oversight of Product Marketing (40%). You will own how SOCi shows up across every touchpoint… from our category narrative and thought leadership to our content strategy and communications engine… while ensuring our product marketing function translates that narrative into clear, differentiated, and revenue-driving go-to-market execution.

SOCi expects to pay a base salary in the range of $190,000 - $250,000 USD base plus bonuses/commission. Within the range, individual pay is determined by factors such as job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
