Required Skills:
3-5+ years of experience in social media strategy planning, goal setting, and implementation.
CPG and/or Retail experience, either direct or via a creative agency, is required. Experience working in the gaming sector is a plus, but CPG and/or Retail background is mandatory.

Understanding of community engagement and audience strategy.
