Social and Community Lead (USA)
Askable · Chicago, IL · 2 wk ago
ManagementFull-time
About the role
Own how Askable shows up across social and community, with primary focus on the US market. Build a publishing rhythm worth following, presence worth being part of, a point of view worth caring about, and the systems that let the rest of the team show up too.
What You'll Do
- Brand, channels, and community
- Own Askable's social channels end-to-end: content, calendar, comments, community
- Build and nurture community presence in the spaces where our audience already lives — Slack groups, LinkedIn communities, and adjacent forums
- Translate research insights, product moments, and customer stories into social-native formats
- Make launches feel like moments, not press releases
- Partner with creators, peers, and adjacent brands to amplify what we put out
- Executive thought leadership
- Ghostwrite and direct content for senior leaders so they sound like themselves, only sharper
- Surface reactive moments that match each leader's POV and priorities
- Build the cadence so it ships without becoming a bottleneck
- Stay on top of industry trends
- Sales enablement and ops
- Make it easy for sales, product, and CX to show up on social as credible voices
- Build smart workflows (including AI where it helps) that scale output without flattening voice
- Set goals, kill what isn't working, shape how social and community fits into the broader marketing engine
Skills and Experience
- 5+ years in social or community, ideally some of it at a B2B SaaS in scale-up mode
- A portfolio that shows craft and a point of view. Not safe. Distinct. You ship the work that matters most, and use systems, AI, and partners to scale the rest.
- Genuinely AI-native in your workflow, with a track record of building systems and prompts others can use. Not "I tried ChatGPT."
- Proven exec ghostwriting. You can hold multiple voices in your head and not let them drift.
Bonus Points
- Light video and design (Figma, Descript, Canva, and similar)
- Built a sales social activation program from scratch
- Worked in research, insights, AI, or developer tools categories
- Ran an influencer, creator, or community program end-to-end
The mindset you’ll need
- Win as a team: Proud of your individual work, but winning as a team is what feels best. You give and take feedback well.
- Independent and curious: No cabinets full of step-by-step instructions here. Think on your feet, manage your own workflow, ask sharp questions.
- Growth-focused: Stretch goals energize you. Always looking for ways to improve yourself, your team, the business.
- Quick to learn: Get up to speed on our product fast and stay current as it evolves.

Culture
