About the Role

Scribd is looking for a Social & Community Brand Manager to build and steward our brand presence where our readers, listeners, and learners actually spend their time, in comment sections, subreddits, and video feeds.


This is a role for someone who understands that brand trust is built in the margins: a well-placed Reddit comment, a YouTube response that actually answers the question, a listening report that changes how the team talks about a product. You'll own day-to-day execution of our social and community presence, with YouTube and Reddit as your primary channels in H1, and grow into broader brand campaign support over time. You'll be Scribd's ears on the ground, and increasingly, a voice that shapes how we show up in culture.

What You'll Do

Channel Ownership

  • Own Scribd's presence on social media (YouTube and Reddit) that both require consistency and genuine intent

  • On Reddit, drive thoughtful, value-driven participation across priority subreddits that earns credibility over time

  • On YouTube, manage the full content lifecycle, scheduling, publishing, optimization, and comment moderation

  • Identify content gaps, surface emerging conversations, and flag what's worth responding to

  • Proactively pitch content ideas based on what you're seeing in the community that could perform well across all platforms


Social Listening & Audience Intelligence

  • Monitor Scribd's social and community footprint, and broader conversations using social listening tools and manual listening workflows while also tracking sentiment

  • Translate what you're hearing into clear, usable insights for brand marketing campaigns

  • Help inform messaging evolution, content pillars, and campaign direction


Campaign Support & Coordination

  • Support rollout of brand initiatives across social and community channels

  • Build and maintain publishing calendars and execution timelines

  • Coordinate with internal stakeholders to ensure message consistency from brief to publish

  • Over time, take on a more active role in integrated campaign execution, this role is built to grow beyond social


Performance Tracking & Reporting

  • Build and maintain dashboards in Sprout Social across YouTube, Reddit, and other channels

  • Track engagement, retention, sentiment, and brand health signals

  • Deliver weekly and monthly reports with clear insights and optimization recommendations

  • Run small tests and experiments to improve performance and flag what's working before you're asked

Who You Are

  • 3–5 years of experience in social media and community management

  • Deep familiarity with YouTube best practices and analytics

  • You understand how Reddit works culturally, not just mechanically, and know why authenticity there isn't optional

  • Proficient in Sprout Social or a comparable platform

  • Comfortable moving between quantitative data and qualitative signal

  • Highly organized, and execution-oriented

  • Experience with or exposure to paid social - boosting content, supporting campaign media plans, or coordinating with a paid team. You should understand how paid and organic work together.

  • Bonus: exposure to integrated campaign work, contributing to a launch, coordinating cross-channel rollouts, or working from a creative brief

  • Bonus: experience in education, teaching, or working with educator, academics or student communities
