Group Manager, Social & Influencer Marketing

Credit Karma is a personal finance app with over 130 million members in the US, Canada, and UK. We work hard to provide members with free access to their credit scores, credit reports, credit monitoring, and financial product recommendations. Our mission is to champion financial progress for all.

We are looking for a Manager 3, Social & Influencer Marketing to own and elevate Credit Karma's social presence across organic, paid social, and influencer programs. This is a high-impact leadership role for someone who can set a clear strategic vision and raise the bar on execution. You will manage a team of three direct reports and multiple contingent workers, and partner closely with Brand, Integrated Marketing, Paid Media, PMM, and PR to ensure social is fully integrated into how Credit Karma shows up in culture. This role sits within the Brand & Integrated Marketing org and reports to the Sr. Director of Brand & Integrated Marketing.

Responsibilities

Social Strategy & Program Ownership

Own the end-to-end social media strategy across organic, paid social, and influencer, ensuring it ladders to brand and business objectives and reflects a deep understanding of our 130M+ members and their financial lives

Define channel architecture and content strategy across all owned platforms (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, X, and emerging channels), building organic, paid, and influencer into one cohesive system — shared creative learnings, consistent brand voice, and sequenced storytelling across the member journey, with particular fluency in Gen Z culture

Partner closely with the Sponsorships team to ensure Credit Karma's social presence amplifies and extends offline moments, translating experiential activations, partnerships, and events into compelling social-first content strategies

Build and evolve community management frameworks, including response protocols, escalation processes, and real-time trend monitoring

Integrate social as a genuine partner — not an afterthought — in campaign planning and product launch moments

Influencer Marketing

Define the vision, strategy, and standards for Credit Karma's influencer program — including creator philosophy, tiering approach, content guidelines, and measurement framework — ensuring the program drives authentic advocacy and measurable reach among core and emerging audiences

Lead and develop the influencer marketing function, overseeing day-to-day program execution while providing strategic direction and quality assurance to grow the program over time

Bring deep influencer expertise across the full program lifecycle — creator sourcing and vetting, contracting, briefing, performance measurement, and platform compliance — with the ability to build and scale the program as the function matures

Paid Social & Creative Partnership

Collaborate closely with the Paid Media team to ensure organic and paid social strategies are complementary, with shared creative learnings flowing both directions

Maintain a high creative bar across the program, evaluating a high volume of paid and organic social creative with a sharp performance and platform lens — giving clear, specific feedback that helps the team and agency partners optimize for both brand quality and social impact

Partner closely with the internal creative and agency partners to ensure social creative is developed with platform-native thinking from the start, not adapted from other formats as an afterthought

Measurement & Impact

Define a measurement framework for the full social program — organic, paid social, and influencer — that connects social activity to brand health, member engagement, and business outcomes, and own social/influencer performance reporting to senior leadership

Partner with Analytics and Brand Strategy to develop consistent methodologies for measuring social's contribution to brand consideration, awareness, and cultural relevance

Champion a test-and-learn culture across the team, using data and member insights to continuously improve creative effectiveness, channel mix, and program investment

Team Leadership

Lead, mentor, and develop a team of three direct reports and multiple contingent workers, setting clear expectations, building craft, and creating a culture of accountability and creative ambition

Develop team members' skills across strategy, content, analytics, and influencer marketing — with an eye toward building a function that can grow with the program

Cross-Functional Partnership & Budget Management

Serve as the social voice in integrated campaign planning, partnering with Brand, PMM, Paid Media, PR, Legal, and Sponsorships

Manage the social and influencer budget, agency relationships, platform tools, and contingent worker resourcing

Stay ahead of platform changes, emerging formats, and cultural trends to continuously identify new opportunities

Qualifications

Required

10+ years of experience in social media marketing, with at least 3 years in a people management role

Proven track record of building and scaling social programs for a large consumer brand, with demonstrated growth in awareness, engagement, and brand consideration

Deep understanding of how organic social, paid social, influencer, and offline/experiential programs interconnect, with a track record of building unified strategies that leverage all of these levers together — not as isolated channels

Deep platform fluency across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, and X, with a strong eye toward emerging formats and channels

Proven experience building or significantly scaling an influencer marketing program, including creator strategy, tiering, contracting, and measurement

Strong measurement orientation — experience building social measurement frameworks that connect channel-level metrics to brand and business outcomes, and presenting those results to senior leadership with clarity

Strong creative instincts, with demonstrated experience evaluating and directing high-volume social creative — both organic and paid — and giving clear, actionable feedback that improves brand quality and performance

Strategic problem solver with the ability to prioritize and lead through ambiguity, connecting day-to-day execution to longer-term brand objectives

Skilled cross-functional collaborator with experience partnering across Brand, PMM, Paid Media, PR, and Legal

Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present strategic plans and performance results to senior leadership

Bachelor's degree required

Preferred

Experience in consumer technology, fintech, or financial services

Experience building authentic brand presence with Gen Z audiences in culture — not just through paid amplification

Experience partnering with sponsorships, partnerships, or experiential marketing teams to extend offline moments into social-first content

Familiarity with AI-powered tools and workflows as part of a modern content and social operation

Hands-on experience with enterprise social media management and analytics platforms (e.g., Sprinklr, Sprout Social, Plot)

Experience managing contingent worker teams alongside FTE direct reports
